One object (m1 = 0.220 kg) is moving to the right with a speed of 2.10 m/s when it is struck from behind by another object (m2 =

0.345 kg) that is moving to the right at 6.00 m/s. If friction is negligible and the collision between these objects is elastic, find the final velocity of each. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Positive is to the right, and negative is to the left.)

Answer:

vf₁  = 6.86 m/s , to the right

vf₂ =  2.96 m/s, to the right

Explanation:

Theory of collisions  

Linear momentum is a vector magnitude (same direction of the velocity) and its magnitude is calculated like this:  

p=m*v  

where  

p:Linear momentum  

m: mass  

v:velocity  

There are 3 cases of collisions : elastic, inelastic and plastic.  

For the three cases the total linear momentum quantity is conserved:  

P₀ = Pf Formula (1)  

P₀ :Initial linear momentum quantity  

Pf : Final linear momentum quantity  

Data

m₁= 0.220 kg : mass of  object₁

m₂= 0.345 kg : mass of  object₂

v₀₁ =  2.1 m/s ₁ , to the right : initial velocity of m₁

v₀₂=   6 m/s, to the right  i :initial velocity of m₂

Problem development

We appy the formula (1):

P₀ = Pf  

m₁*v₀₁ + m₂*v₀₂ = m₁*vf₁ + m₂*vf₂  

We assume that the two objects move to the right at the end of the collision, so, the sign of the final speeds is positive:

(0.22)*(2.1) + (0.345)*(6) = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*vf₂

2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*vf₂ Equation (1)

Because the shock is elastic, the coefficient of elastic restitution (e) is equal to 1.

e= \frac{v_{f2}-v_{f1} }{v_{o1} -v_{o2} }

1*(v₀₁ - v₀₂ )  = (vf₂ -vf₁)

(2.1 - 6 )  = (vf₂ -vf₁)

-3.9 =  (vf₂ -vf₁)

vf₂ = vf₁ - 3.9

vf₂ = vf₁ - 3.9 Equation (2)

We replace Equation (2) in the Equation (1)

2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*( vf₁ - 3.9)

2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)* (vf₁) -(0.345)( 3.9)

2.532 + 1.3455 = (0.565)*vf₁

3.8775 = (0.565)*vf₁

vf₁  = (3.8775) / (0.565)

vf₁  = 6.86 m/s, to the right

We replace vf₁  = 6.86 m/s in the Equation (2)

vf₂ =  6.86 - 3.9

vf₂ =  2.96 m/s, to the right

What is the difference between real and apparent weightlessness?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

In space we feel weightlessness because the earth's gravity has less effect on us. The Earth's gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earth's surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the shuttle's orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top.

What does basketballs have inside of it
FrozenT [24]
Hi there!

Great question!

Basketballs have air inside them. A special pump is used to insert the air. That's why you can lift the basketballs off the ground easily. If it was a solid, though, you'd hardly be able to lift the ball up! Basketballs can float, too, because anything with air inside can float. If it were solid, it would sink in the water easily.

Hope this helps! :D

Help !!!! Estimate the number of breaths taken by a person during 44 years?
Lisa [10]
44 x 12. I got the 12 from the total of 12 months in a year.


44 > 40

x
12 > 10
----------
The way my teacher taught me how to estimate is look at the neighbor to 44 and 12. The only time 44 can become 50, is when the neighbor is 5 or up. Same thing for 12. Now, multiply 40 and 10.

40 x 10 = 400.

Therefore, your estimate is 400.

The real answer is 520 breaths.
