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.

Use appropriate units and significant figures.  USE THE LAW OF COSINES AND LAW OF SINES.
N76 [4]

Answer:

The resultant velocity is 86.1 mi/h.    

Explanation:

The law of cosines is given by:

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2abcos(\theta)

Where:

c: is the resultant velocity =?

a: is the velocity of the plane = 75.0 mi/h

b: is the velocity of the wind = 15.0 mi/h  

θ: is the angle between "a" and "b"                          

The angle between "a" and "b" can be found as follows:

\theta = 180.0 - 46.0 = 134.0 ^{\circ}

Now, by using the law of cosines we have:

c^{2} = (75.0)^{2} + (15.0)^{2} - 2*75.0*15.0*cos(134.0) = 7413.0

c = 86.1 mi/h    

Therefore, the resultant velocity is 86.1 mi/h.    

The law of sines is:

\frac{a}{sin(\gamma)} = \frac{b}{sin(\alpha)} = \frac{c}{sin(\theta)}

Where:

γ: is the angle between "b" and "c"

α: is the angle between "a" and "c"

So, if we want to find "c" by using the law of sines, we need to know another angle besides θ (γ or α), and the statement does not give us.

I hope it helps you!
