Answer:

1a). 4 times. 1b) 4. 1c) 1/4.

2a) 5 times. 1b) 5 1c) 1/5

3a) 7/3 times 3b) 7/3 3c) 3/7

4a) 8/5 times 4b) 8/5 4c) 5/8

Explanation:

1) Assuming no external forces acting during the collision, total momentum must be conserved, so the following general expression applies:

m₁*v₁₀ + m₂*v₂₀ = m₁*v₁f  + m₂*v₂f (1)

If we assume that the collision is perfectly inelastic, this means that both masses stick together after the collision, so v₁f = v₂f.

If m₂ is initially at rest, ⇒ v₂₀ = 0.

Replacing in (1) we get the expression of vf as a function of v₁₀, as follows:

vf = v₁₀*(m₁/(m₁+m₂)

So, for the four cases we have the following:

1) initial mass = m

  final mass = m+3m = 4 m

⇒final mass / initial mass = 4

vf = v₀* (m/4m) = v₀/4  ⇒v₀/vf = 4

So, the velocity of the system will decrease by a factor of 4. The new velocity will be vf= v₀/4.

2) Applying the same considerations, we get:

2a)  final mass / initial mass = 5

2b) vf = v₀* (m/5m) = v₀/5  ⇒v₀/vf = 5

2c) vf = v₀/5

3) Applying the same considerations, we get:

3a)  final mass / initial mass = 7/3

3b) vf = v₀* (3m/7m) =3/7* v₀  ⇒v₀/vf = 7/3

3c) vf = 3/7*v₀

4) Applying the same considerations, we get:

4a)  final mass / initial mass = 8/5

4b) vf = v₀* (5m/8m) = 5/8*v₀ ⇒v₀/vf = 8/5

4c) vf = 5/8*v₀

A ball is rolling along at speed v without slipping on a horizontal surface when it comes to a hill that rises at a constant ang
MissTica

Answer:

The ball has an initial linear kinetic energy and initial rotational kinetic energy which can both be converted into gravitational potential energy. Therefore the hill with friction will let the ball reach higher.

Explanation:

The ball has an initial linear kinetic energy and initial rotational kinetic energy which can both be converted into gravitational potential energy. Therefore the hill with friction will let the ball reach higher.

This is because:

If we consider the ball initially at rest on a frictionless surface and a force is exerted through the centre of mass of the ball, it will slide across the surface with no rotation, and thus, there will only be translational motion.

Now, if there is friction and force is again applied to the stationary ball, the frictional force will act in the opposite direction to the force but at the edge of the ball that rests on the ground. This friction generates a torque on the ball which starts the rotation.

Therefore, static friction is infact necessary for a ball to begin rolling.

Now, from the top of the ball, it will move at a speed 2v, while the centre of mass of the ball will move at a speed v and lastly, the bottom edge of the ball will instantaneously be at rest. So as the edge touching the ground is stationary, it experiences no friction.

So friction is necessary for a ball to start rolling but once the rolling condition has been met the ball experiences no friction.
