A carnival game consists of a two masses on a curved frictionless track, as pictured below. The player pushes the larger object

so that it strikes the stationary smaller object which then slides follows the curved track so that it rises vertically to a maximum height, h_{max}h ​max ​​ . The masses are equipped with elastic bumpers so that the impact between them is an elastic collision. If the larger object has a mass , M = 5.41 ~\text{kg}M=5.41 kg and the smaller object has a mass of m = 1.68~\text{kg}m=1.68 kg, then with what velocity, v_0v ​0 ​​ should the player release the larger object so that the smaller object just reaches the target maximum height of h_{max} = 3.0 mh ​max ​​ =3.0m above the horizontal portion of the track?

Answer:

v₁₀ = 1.90 m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we are given the maximum height data, with energy we can know how fast the body came out

Final mechanical energy, maximum height

    Em_{f} = U = m g h

Initial mechanical energy, in the lower part of the track

    Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

    Em=   Em_{f}

    ½ m v² = m g h

    v = √ 2gh

Now we can use the moment to find the speed with which objects collide

The large object has a mass M = 5.41 kg a velocity starts v₁₀, the small object has a mass m = 1.68 kg an initial velocity of zero v₂₀ = 0 and  final velocity v

Initial before the crash

    p₀ = M v₁₀ + 0

Final after the crash

      p_{f} = M v1f + m v

   p₀ =   p_{f}

   M v₁₀ = M v_{1f}+ m v

As the shock is elastic the kinetic energy is conserved

     K₀ = K_{f}

    ½ M v₁₀² = ½ M v_{1f}² + ½ m v²

Let's write the system of equations

    M v₁₀ = M  v_{1f} + m v

    M v1₁₀² = M v_{1f}² + m v²

We cleared v1f in the first we replaced in the second

   v_{1f} = (M v₁₀ - mv) / M

    M v₁₀² = M (M v₁₀ - mv)² / M² + m v²

    M v₁₀² = 1 / M (M² v₁₀² - 2mM v v₁₀ + m² v²) +m v²

     v₁₀² (M - M) + 2 m v v₁₀ - v² (m2 + m) / M = 0

     2 m v₁₀ - v (m + 1) m/ M = 0

     v₁₀ = v (m +1) / (2M)

Let's substitute the value of v

     v1₁₀= √ (2gh) (m +1) / (2M)

Let's calculate

    v₁₀ = √ (2 9.8 3) (1+ 1.68) / (2  5.41)

    V₁₀ = 7.668 (2.68) / 10.82

   v₁₀ = 1.90 m / s

Me finding out bananas are curved because they grow towards the sun what do you think about this ?
Goryan [66]
Answer:

Bananas go through a unique process known as negative geotropism. Instead of continuing to grow towards the ground, they start to turn towards the sun. The fruit grows against gravity, giving the banana its familiar curved shape.

What is the result of two displacement vectors having opposite directions?
jonny [76]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Resultant of two vectors having opposite direction is the difference of the two displacements having the same direction as the larger vector. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u><u> </u>

Resultant of two vectors is obtained by performing the vector addition operation. When the directions of both vectors are same the resultant’s direction will also be the same as the inputs. When two vectors have opposite directions, one direction will be taken positive making one vector positive and the other negative.

By performing addition of a positive and negative number we are actually taking the difference between both. Thus performing vector addition of two vectors with opposite directions is equivalent to finding the difference between the vectors. Consider a system consisting of a solid block, on which two forces F1 and F2 act in the opposite direction.

One force will be considered positive and the other is considered negative. The resultant is given by the difference of two force vectors. Displacement of the block will be in the direction of the greater force.

Buttery popcorn contained in a large 1__bowl has a mass of about 50 __<br>and about 650 calories.​
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Buttery popcorn contained in a large 1 liter bowl has a mass of about 50 mg and about 650 calories.

Explanation:

Liter is the most appropriate unit to measure a bowl. Usually 1 liter of liquid has a mass of 1000 gram. Since popcorn is something lightweight and only a few can fill the bowl quickly so 50 mg makes perfect sense with 1 liter of bowl and 650 calories in buttery popcorn.

Help please :pensive:
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

0m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity of the boat = 8m/s

Final velocity  = 8m/s

Time taken  = 4s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the boat = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

It is mathematically expressed as;

        A = \frac{v - u}{t}

A is the acceleration

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

    Insert the parameters and solve;

  A = \frac{8-8}{4}   = 0m/s²
