A package of mass m is released from rest at a warehouse loading dock and slides down a 3.0-m-high frictionless chute to a waiti

ng truck. Unfortunately, the truck driver went on a break without having removed the previous package, of mass 2m, from the bottom of the chute.
a. What is the speed of the package of mass m right before the collision?

b. Suppose the packages stick together. What is their common speed after the collision? Is the total mechanical energy for the system including both packages conserved in this case? If not, what is the difference of the mechanical energies before and after the collision?

c. Suppose the collision between the packages is perfectly elastic. To what height does the package of mass m rebound? Is the total linear momentum for the system including both packages conserved before and after this perfectly elastic collision? Why or why not?

Answer:

The speed of the package of mass m right before the collision = 7.668\ ms^-1

Their common speed after the collision = 2.56\ ms^-1

Height achieved by the package of mass m when it rebounds = 0.33\ m

Explanation:

Have a look to the diagrams attached below.

a.To find the speed of the package of mass m right before collision we have to use law of conservation of energy.

K_{initial} + U_{initial} = K_{final}+U_{final}

where K is Kinetic energy and U is Potential energy.

K= \frac{mv^2}{2} and U= mgh

Considering the fact  K_{initial} = 0\ and U_{final} =0 we will plug out he values of the given terms.

So V_{1}{(initial)} =\sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{2\times9.8\times3} = 7.668\ ms^-1

Keypoints:

  • Sum of energies and momentum are conserved in all collisions.
  • Sum of KE and PE is also known as Mechanical energy.
  • Only KE is conserved for elastic collision.
  • for elastic collison we have e=1 that is co-efficient of restitution.

<u>KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy</u>

b.Now when the package stick together there momentum is conserved.

Using law of conservation of momentum.

m_1V_1(i) = (m_1+m_2)V_f where V_1{i} =7.668\ ms^-1.

Plugging the values we have

m\times 7.668 = (3m)\times V_{f}

Cancelling m from both sides and dividing 3 on both sides.

V_f = 2.56\ ms^-1

Law of conservation of energy will be followed over here.

c.Now the collision is perfectly elastic e=1

We have to find the value of V_{f} for m mass.

As here V_{f}=-2.56\ ms^-1 we can use that if both are moving in right ward with 2.56 then there is a  -2.56 velocity when they have to move leftward.

The best option is to use the formulas given in third slide to calculate final velocity of object 1.

So

V_{1f} = \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} \times V_{1i}= \frac{m-2m}{3m} \times7.668=\frac{-7.668}{3} = -2.56\ ms^-1

Now using law of conservation of energy.

K_{initial} + U_{initial} = K_{final}+U_{final}

\frac{m\times V(f1)^2}{2} + 0 = 0 +mgh

\frac{v(f1)^2}{2g} = h

h= \frac{(-2.56)^2}{9.8\times 3} =0.33\ m

The linear momentum is conserved before and after this perfectly elastic collision.

So for part a we have the speed =7.668\ ms^-1 for part b we have their common speed =2.56\ ms^-1 and for part c we have the rebound height =0.33\ m.

The vapor pressure of ethanol at 293 K is 5.95 kPa and at 336.5 K it is 53.3 kPa. Calculate the enthalpy of vaporization of etha
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

H=41.3kJmol^{-1}

Explanation:

The equation relating the the enthalphy, pressure and temperature is expressed as

ln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} )=\frac{H}{R}(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}} ) \\

Where P is the pressure, H is the enthalphy, and T is the temperature.

since the given values are

T_{1}=293k, \\T_{2}=336.5k\\P_{1}=5.95kPA\\p_{2}=53.3kPA\\and R=8.314J.K^{-1}mol_{-1}

if we insert values, we arrive at

ln(\frac{53.3}{5.95} )=\frac{H}{8.314}(\frac{1}{293}-\frac{1}{336.5} )\\2.19=\frac{H}{8.314}(0.00044)\\H=(2.19*8.314)/0.00044\\H=41,268.8Jmol^{-1}\\H=41.3kJmol^{-1}

The x-component of vector R is Rx = −28.2 units and its y-component is Ry = 19.6 units. What are its magnitude and direction? Gi
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

Rx = -28.2 units

Ry = 19.6 units

magnitude of R = √  [( - 28.2 )² + ( 19.6 ) ]

= √ ( 795.24 + 384.16 )

= 34.34 units

If θ  be the angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-direction

Tanθ = 19.6 / - 28.2 = -0.695

θ = 180 - 34.8

= 145.2° .
