Answer:
Explanation:
= Initial momentum of the pin = 13 kg m/s
= Initial momentum of the ball = 18 kg m/s
= Momentum of the ball after hit
= Angle ball makes with the horizontal after hitting the pin
= Angle the pin makes with the horizotal after getting hit by the ball
Momentum in the x direction
Momentum in the y direction
The pin's resultant velocity is
The pin's resultant direction is below the horizontal or to the right.
Answer: The force constant k is 10600 kg/s^2
Step by step:
Use the law of energy conservation. When the elevator hits the spring, it has a certain kinetic and a potential energy. When the elevator reaches the point of still stand the kinetic and potential energies have been transformed to work performed by the elevator in the form of friction (brake clamp) and loading the spring.
Let us define the vertical height axis as having two points: h=2m at the point of elevator hitting the spring, and h=0m at the point of stopping.
The total energy at the point h=2m is:
The total energy at the point h=0m is:
The two Energy values are to be equal (by law of energy conservation), which allows us to determine the only unknown, namely the force constant k:
