Two small particles of mass m1 and mass m2 attract each other with a force that varies inversely with the cube of their separati

on. At time t0,m1 has a velocity of magnitude v0, directed towards m2, which is at rest a distance d away. At time t1, the particles collide. Calculate L, the distance traveled by particle 1 during the time interval t1 − t0. Express your answer using some or all of the following variables: m1, m2, t0, t1, v0, and d.

Answer:

r_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_2d\ +\ m_1v_0 (t_1\ -\ t_0)}{m_1\ +\ m_2}

Explanation:

Given,

  • mass of the first particle = m_1
  • velocity of the first particle = v_o
  • mass of the second particle = m_2
  • velocity of the second particle = v_2 = 0
  • Time interval = (t_1\ -\ t_o)

Let v_{cm} be the initial velocity of the center of mass of the system of particle at time t_o

\therefore v_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_1v_1\ +\ m_2v_2}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\\\Rightarrow v_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_1v_0}{m_1\ +\ m_2}

Assuming that the first particle is at origin, distance of the second particle from the origin is 'd'

  • x_1\ =\ 0
  • x_2\ =\ d

Center of mass of the system of particles

x_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_1x_1\ +\ m_2x_2}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\\\Rightarrow x_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_2d}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\\

Hence, at time t_0, the center of mass of the system is at x_0\ =\ \dfrac{m_2d}{m_1\ +\ m_2} at an initial speed of v_{cm}

Both the particles are assumed to be the point masses, therefore at the time t_1 the center of mass is at the position of the second particle which should be equal to the total distance traveled by the first particle because the second particle is at rest.

Let r_{cm} be the distance traveled by the center of mass of the system of particles in the time interval (t_1\ +\ t_0)

From the kinematics,

s\ =\ x_0\ +\ vt\\\Rightarrow r_{cm}\ =\ x_{cm}\ +\ v_{cm}{t_1\ -\ t_0}\\\Rightarrow r_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_2d}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\ +\ \left ( \dfrac{m_1v_0}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\ \right )\times (t_1\ -\ t_0)\\\Rightarow r_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_2d\ +\ m_1v_0 (t_1\ -\ t_0)}{m_1\ +\ m_2}

Hence, this is the required distance traveled by the first mass to collide with the second mass which is at rest.

Answer:

The launching point is at a distance D = 962.2m and H = 39.2m

Explanation:

It would have been easier with the drawing. This problem is a projectile launching exercise, as they give us data after the window passes and the wall collides, let's calculate with this data the speeds at the point of contact with the window.

X axis

           x = Vox t

           t = x / vox

           t = 7.1 / 340

           t = 2.09 10-2 s

In this same time the height of the window fell

           Y = Voy t - ½ g t²

Let's calculate the initial vertical speed, this speed is in the window

           Voy = (Y + ½ g t²) / t

           Voy = [0.6 + ½ 9.8 (2.09 10⁻²)²] /2.09 10⁻² = 0.579 / 0.0209

            Voy = 27.7 m / s

We already have the speed at the point of contact with the window. Now let's calculate the distance (D) and height (H) to the launch point, for this we calculate the time it takes to get from the launch point to the window; at this point the vertical speed is Vy2 = 27.7 m / s

             Vy = Voy - gt₂

             Vy = 0 -g t₂

             t₂ = Vy / g

             t₂ = 27.7 / 9.8

             t₂ = 2.83 s

This is the time it also takes to travel the horizontal and vertical distance

            X = Vox t₂

            D = 340 2.83

            D = 962.2 m

           

            Y = Voy₂– ½ g t₂²

            Y = 0 - ½ g t2

            H = Y = - ½ 9.8 2.83 2

            H = 39.2 m

The launching point is at a distance D = 962.2m and H = 39.2m
