A green block of mass m slides to the right on a frictionless floor and collides elastically with a red block of mass M which is

initially at rest. After the collision the green block is at rest and the red block is moving to the right.How does m compare to M ?

Answer:

m=M

Explanation:

In case we say that the green block's mass m is less than red block's mass M, then the green block would have bounced and moved back to the left instead of coming to rest. The other case where if mass of green block's mass m would have been greater than the red block's mass M, the green block would have kept moving to the right instead of coming to rest. After collision, the red block moves to the right because of exchange of velocities. Therefore, m=M since m comes to rest and M moves to the right

           (2π rad/year) x (1 yr/365 days) x (1 day / 86,400 seconds)

       =    (2π) / (365 x 86,400)        rad/sec

       =        0.000 000 2  radian/sec

In 1990, Dave Campos of the United States rode a special motorcycle called the Easyrider at an average speed of 518 km/h. Suppos
maks197457 [2]

The distance travelled during the given time can be found out by using the equations of motion.

The distance traveled during the time interval is "13810.8 m".

First, we will find the deceleration of the motorcycle by using the first <em>equation of motion</em>:

v_f=v_it+at\\\\

where,

vi = initial velocity = (518 km/h)(\frac{1\ h}{3600\ s})(\frac{1000\ m}{1\ km}) = 143.89 m/s

vf = final veocity = 60 % of 143.89 m/s = (0.6)(143.89 m/s) = 86.33 m/s

a = deceleration = ?

t =time interval = 2 min = 120 s

Therefore,

86.33\ m/s = 143.89\ m/s + a(120\ s)\\\\a = \frac{86.33\ m/s - 143.89\ m/s}{120\ s}

a = -0.48 m/s²

Now, we will use the second <em>equation of motion </em>to find out the distance traveled (s):

s = v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\s = (143.89\ m/s)(120\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(-0.48\ m/s^2)(120\ s)^2\\\\s = 17266.8\ m - 3456\ m

<u>s = 13810.8 m = 13.81 km</u>
