A 4.3 kg steel ball and 6.5 m cord of negligible mass make up a simple pendulum that can pivot without friction about the point

O. This pendulum is released from rest in a horizontal position and when the ball is at its lowest point it strikes a 4.3 kg block sitting at rest on a shelf. Assume that the collision is perfectly elastic and take the coefficient of friction between the block and shelf to be 0.9. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s².

Answer

given,

mass of steel ball, M = 4.3 kg

length of the chord, L = 6.5 m

mass of the block, m = 4.3 Kg

coefficient of friction, μ = 0.9

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

here the potential energy of the bob is converted into kinetic energy

m g L = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2

v= \sqrt{2gL}

v= \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 6.5}

      v = 11.29 m/s

As the collision is elastic the velocity of the block is same as that of bob.

now,

work done by the friction force = kinetic energy of the block

f . d = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2

\mu m g. d = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2

d=\dfrac{v^2}{2\mu g}

d=\dfrac{11.29^2}{2\times 0.9 \times 9.8}

    d = 7.23 m

the distance traveled by the block will be equal to 7.23 m.

A dog leaps horizontally off a 70 m cliff with a speed of 6 m/s, how far from the base will the dog land?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

\Delta x=22.67786838m

Explanation:

Let's use projectile motion equations. First of all we need to find the travel time. So we are going to use the next equation:

y-y_0=v_o*sin(\theta)*t-\frac{1}{2}*t^2 (1)

Where:

y=Final\hspace{3}position\hspace{3}at\hspace{3}y-axis

y_o=Initial\hspace{3}position\hspace{3}at\hspace{3}y-axis

v_o=initial\hspace{3}velocity

t=travel\hspace{3}time

g=gravity\hspace{3}constant

\theta=Initial\hspace{3}launch\hspace{3}angle

In this case:

\theta=0

Because the dog jumps horizontally

Let's asume the gravity constant as:

g=9.8

y=0

Because when the dog reach the base the height is 0

y_o=70

v_o=6

Now let's replace the data in (1)

y_o-\frac{1}{2} *(9.8)*t^2+70

Isolating t:

t=\pm\sqrt{\frac{2*70}{9.8} } =3.77964473

Finally let's find the horizontal displacement using this equation:

\Delta x=v_o*cos(\theta)*t

Replacing the data:

\Delta x=6*1*3.77964473=22.67786838m
