Answer:
210
Explanation:
A ball rolls horizontally off the cliff at a speed of 30 m/s. It takes 7 seconds for the ball to hit the ground. What is the height of the cliff and the horizontal distance traveled by the ball?
S = (1/2)*9.8 m/s^2 * 7^2 = 240.1 m if the ball is very dense so air resistance, and therefore terminal velocity, can be ignored.
S = v * t = 30 m/s * 7 s = 210 m for the horizontal distance, again assuming negligible air resistance.
Answer:
vB = 15.4 m/s
Explanation:
Principle of conservation of energy:
Because there is no friction the mechanical energy is conserve
ΔE = 0
ΔE : mechanical energy change (J)
K : Kinetic energy (J)
U: Potential energy (J)
K = (1/2)mv²
U = m*g*h
Where :
m: mass (kg)
v : speed (m/s)
h : hight (m)
Ef - Ei = 0
(K+U)final - (K+U)initial =0
(K+U)final = (K+U)initial
((1/2)mv²+m*g*h)final = ((1/2)mv²+m*g*h)initial , We divided by m both sides of the equation:
((1/2)vB² + g*hB = (1/2 )vA²+ g*hA
(1/2) (vB)² + (9.8)*(14.7) = 0 + (9.8)(26.8 )
(1/2) (vB)² = (9.8)(26.8 ) - (9.8)*(14.7)
(vB)² = (2)(9.8)(26.8 - 14.7)
(vB)² = 237.16

vB = 15.4 m/s : speed of the cart at B
B) law of conservation of momentum
It states that the total momentum of a system before impact is the same as the total momentum of the system after impact.
In this case total momentum before impact:
10kg*5m/s + 5kg * 0m/s = 50 kg m/s
After Impact:
10kg*0m/s + 5kg*10m/s = 50 kg m/s
You can see the momentum before and after impact is same as 50 kg m/s
Of course we assumed that the first cart stopped after the impact, and there are no energy losses.
