Answer:
3) Ep = 13243.5[J]
4) v = 17.15 [m/s]
Explanation:
3) In order to solve this problem, we must use the principle of energy conservation. That is, the energy will be transformed from potential energy to kinetic energy. We can calculate the potential energy with the mass and height data, as shown below.
m = mass = 90 [kg]
h = elevation = 15 [m]
Potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height.
This energy will be transformed into kinetic energy.
Ek = 13243.5 [J]
4) The velocity can be determined by defining the kinetic energy, as shown below.
The final velocity of the two pucks is -5 m/s
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.
In fact, in absence of external force, the total momentum of the two pucks before and after the collision must be conserved - so we can write:
where
is the mass of each puck
is the initial velocity of the 1st puck
is the initial velocity of the 2nd puck
v is the final velocity of the two pucks sticking together
Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:
