Answer:

a. Δx = 2.59 cm

Explanation:

mb = 0.454 kg , mp = 5.9 x 10 ⁻² kg , vp = 8.97 m / s , k = 21.0 N / m

Using momentum conserved

mb * (0) + mp * vp = ( mb + mp ) * vf

vf = ( mp / mp + mb) * vp

¹/₂ * ( mp + mb) * (mp / mp +mb) ² * vp ² = ¹/₂ * k * Δx²

Solve to Δx '

Δx = √ ( mp² * vp² ) / ( k * ( mp + mb )

Δx = √ ( ( 5.9 x 10⁻² kg ) ² * (8.97  m /s) ²  / [ 21.0 N / m * ( 5.9 x10 ⁻² kg + 0.454 kg ) ]

Δx = 0.02599 m  ⇒ 2.59 cm

nadezda [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) the speed increment of the hammer as it drops past the first window, is greater than that of the speed of the hammer as it drops past the second window. This can also be translated as saying that the hammer spent more time at the second window.

b) III

The best answer would be answer III, The hammer spends more time dropping past window 1, which I had already included in my explanation in (a) above.
