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

Answer:

The resultant velocity is <u>169.71 km/h at angle of 45° measured clockwise with the x-axis</u> or the east-west line.

Explanation:

Considering west direction along negative x-axis and north direction along positive y-axis

Given:

The car travels at a speed of 120 km/h in the west direction.

The car then travels at the same speed in the north direction.

Now, considering the given directions, the velocities are given as:

Velocity in west direction is, $\overrightarrow{v_1}=-120\ \vec{i}$

Velocity in north direction is, $\overrightarrow{v_2}=120\ \vec{j}$

Now, since $v_1\ and\ v_2$ are perpendicular to each other, their resultant magnitude is given as:

$|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=\sqrt{|\overrightarrow{v_1}|^2+|\overrightarrow{v_2}|^2}$

Plug in the given values and solve for the magnitude of the resultant.This gives,

$|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=\sqrt{(120)^2+(120)^2}\\\\|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=120\sqrt{2} = 169.71\ km/h$

Let the angle made by the resultant be 'x' degree with the east-west line or the x-axis.

So, the direction is given as:

$x=\tan^{-1}(\frac{|v_2|}{|v_1|})\\\\x=\tan^{-1}(\frac{120}{-120})=\tan^{-1}(-1)=-45\ deg(clockwise\ angle\ with\ the\ x-axis)$

Therefore, the resultant velocity is 169.71 km/h at angle of 45° measured clockwise with the x-axis or the east-west line.

A current I flows down a wire of radius a.

Helga [31]

Answer:

(a) $K = \frac{I}{2\pi a}$

(b) $J = \frac{I}{2\pi as}$

Explanation:

(a) The surface current density of a conductor is the current flowing per unit length of the conductor.

$K = \frac{dI}{dL}$

Considering a wire, the current is uniformly distributed over the circumferenece of the wire.

$dL = 2\pi r$

The radius of the wire = a

$dL = 2\pi a$

The surface current density $K = \frac{I}{2\pi a}$

(b) The current density is inversely proportional

$J \alpha s^{-1}$

$J = \frac{k}{s}$ ......(1)

k is the constant of proportionality

$I = \int\limits {J} \, dS$

$I = J \int\limits \, dS$ ........(2)

substituting (1) into (2)

$I = \frac{k}{s} \int\limits\, dS$

$I = k \int\limits^a_0 \frac{1}{s} {s} \, dS$

$I = 2\pi k\int\limits\, dS$

$I = 2\pi ka$

$k = \frac{I}{2\pi a}$

substitute $J = \frac{k}{s}$

$J = \frac{I}{2\pi as}$

It took a crew 9 h 36 min to row 8 km upstream and back again. If the rate of flow of the stream was 2 km/h, what was the rowing

babunello [35]

Answer:

3 km/h

Explanation:

Let's call the rowing speed in still water x, in km/h.

Rowing speed in upstream is: x - 2 km/h

Rowing speed in downstream is: x + 2 km/h

It took a crew 9 h 36 min ( = 9 3/5 = 48/5) to row 8 km upstream and back again. Therefore:

8/(x - 2) + 8/(x + 2) = 48/5 (notice that: time = distance/speed)

Multiplying by x² - 2², which is equivalent to (x-2)*(x+2)

8*(x+2) + 8*(x-2) = (48/5)*(x² - 4)

Dividing by 8

(x+2) + (x-2) = (6/5)*(x² - 4)

2*x = (6/5)*x² - 24/5

0 = (6/5)*x² - 2*x - 24/5

Using quadratic formula

$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4(6/5)(-24/5)}}{2(6/5)}$

$x = \frac{2 \pm 5.2}{2.4}$

$x_1 = \frac{2 + 5.2}{2.4}$

$x_1 = 3$

$x_2 = \frac{2 - 5.2}{2.4}$

$x_2 = -1\; 1/3$

A negative result has no sense, therefore the rowing speed in still water was 3 km/h
