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.

Two identical conducting spheres, A and B, carry equal charge. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameters
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

C. \frac{3F}{8}

Explanation:

Let initial charges on both spheres be,q

F=\frac{Kq^2}{d^2}   \ \ \  \ \ \  \ \ \  \ \_i

When the sphere C is touched by A, the final charges on both will be,\frac{q}{2}

#Now, when C is touched by B, the final charges on both of them will be:

q_c=q_d=\frac{q/2+q}{2}\\\\=\frac{3q}{4}\\

Now the force between A and B is calculated as:

F\prime=\frac{k\times\frac{q}{2}\times \frac{3q}{4}}{d^2}\\F\prime=\frac{3F}{8}

Hence the electrostatic force becomes 3F/8

A rubber ball is dropped from a height of 8m. After strikingthe floor, the ball bounces to a height of 5m. a. If the ball had bo
kifflom [539]

Answer:

a) This means the collision between the ball and the floor is elastic.

b) This points to a perfectly inelastic collision between the ball and the floor as they stick together after collision

c) Check Explanation.

Explanation:

Collision of bodies are analysed according to whether both momentum and kinetic energy of the system is conserved, that is, if these two quantities before collision are equal to their values after collision.

In all types of collisions, momentum is usually conserved, but kinetic energy is conserved only in an elastic collision.

A ball dropped from a height of 8 m bounces up back to a height of 5 m.

a. If the ball had bounced to a height of 8m, how would you describe the collision between the ball and the floor?

The ball not bouncing back to a height of 8 m shows energy loss at some point in the total motion of the ball (most likely at the collision). If kinetic energy was conserved, the ball would bounce back up to the height at which it fell from (8 m) after the collision with the floor.

b. If the ball had not bounced at all, how would you describe the collision between the ball and the floor?

If the ball had not bounced at all, this means it lost all of its kinetic energy to the floor, and this points to a perfectly inelastic collision between the ball and the floor as they stick together after collision.

c. What happened to the energy lost by the ball during thecollision?

The energy lost during the collision is converted to another form, most likely responsible for some deformation on the ball & a minute deformation on the floor, converted to some form of heat as a result of the collision or into sound energy, usually, it's a combination of all This!

Hope this Helps!!!
