A 52.0-kg person, running horizontally with a velocity of +3.63 m/s, jumps onto a 15.2-kg sled that is initially at rest. (a) Ig

noring the effects of friction during the collision, find the velocity of the sled and person as they move away. (b) The sled and person coast 30.0 m on level snow before coming to rest. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow?

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134

Explanation:

Given that:

M = mass of person = 52 kg

m = mass of sled = 15.2 kg

U = initial velocity of person = 3.63 m/s

u = initial velocity of sled = 0 m/s

After collision, the person and the sled would move with the same velocity V.

a) According to law of momentum conservation:

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

MU + mu = (M + m)V

$V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}$

Substituting values:

$V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}=\frac{52(3.63)+15.2(0)}{52+15.2} =2.81m/s$

The velocity of the sled and person as they move away is 2.81 m/s

b) acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

d = 30 m

Using the formula:

$V^2=2\mu(gd)\\\mu=\frac{V^2}{2gd} \\\mu=\frac{2.81^2}{2*9.8*30} =0.0134$

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134

Two pool balls, each moving at 2 m/s, roll toward each other and collide. Suppose after bouncing apart, each moves at 2 m/s. Thi

stira [4]

Answer:D

Explanation:according to the law of conservation of energy/momentum, when two bodies collides, their total momentum and energy before and after collision are equal. Given that the two bodies move with the same velocities after collision, means that the law has not been violated since momentum = mass x velocity (where mass is constant)

The index of refraction for a certain type of glass is 1.641 for blue light and 1.603 for red light. When a beam of white light

exis [7]

Answer:

The angle between the emergent blue and red light is $0.566^{o}$

Explanation:

We have according to Snell's law

$n_{1}sin(\theta _{i})=n_{2}sin(\theta _{r})$

Since medium from which light enter's is air thus $n_{1}=1$

Thus for blue incident light we have

$1\times sin(40.05)=1.641\times sin(\theta _{rb})\\\\\therefore \theta _{rb}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(40.05)}{1.64})\\\\\theta _{rb}=23.10$

Similarly using the same procedure for red light we have

$1\times sin(40.05)=1.603\times sin(\theta _{rr})\\\\\therefore \theta _{rr}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(40.05)}{1.603})\\\\\theta _{rr}=23.66^{o}$

Thus the absolute value of angle between the refracted blue and red light is

$|23.66-23.10|=0.566^{o}$

A thin, uniform rod is bent into a square of side length a. If the total mass is M, find the moment of inertia about an axis thr

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The moment of inertia about an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the square is

$I_s = \frac{Ma^2}{3}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of one side of the square is $a$

The total mass of the square is $M$

Generally the mass of one size of the square is mathematically evaluated as

$m_1 = \frac{M}{4}$

Generally the moment of inertia of one side of the square is mathematically represented as

$I_g = \frac{1}{12} * m_1 * a^2$

Generally given that $m_1 = m_2 = m_3 = m_4 = m$ it means that this moment inertia evaluated above apply to every side of the square

Now substituting for $m_1$

So

$I _g= \frac{1}{12} * \frac{M}{4} * a^2$

Now according to parallel-axis theorem the moment of inertia of one side of the square about an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the square is mathematically represented as

$I_a = I_g + m [\frac{q}{2} ]^2$

=> $I_a = I_g + {\frac{M}{4} }* [\frac{q}{2} ]^2$

substituting for $I_g$

=> $I_a = \frac{1}{12} * \frac{M}{4} * a^2 + {\frac{M}{4} }* [\frac{q}{2} ]^2$

=> $I_a = \frac{Ma^2}{48} + \frac{Ma^2}{16}$

=> $I_a = \frac{Ma^2}{12}$

Generally the moment of inertia of the square about an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the square is mathematically represented as

$I_s = 4 * I_a$

=> $I_s = 4 * \frac{Ma^2}{12}$

=> $I_s = \frac{Ma^2}{3}$
