Two cars, both of mass m, collide and stick together. Prior to the collision, one car had been traveling north at a speed 2v, wh

ile the second was traveling in a southeastern direction at an angle ϕ with respect to the east-west direction and at a speed v. After the collision, the two-car system travels in a northeastern direction at an angle θ with respect to the north-south direction and at a speed vfinal.
Find v_final, the speed of the joined cars after the collision.

Answer:u=\frac{v}{2}\sqrt{5-4sin\phi }

Explanation:

Given

Both cars mass is m

and solving problem in Vertical and horizontal direction

considering + y and +x to be positive and u be the final velocity of system

Conserving Momentum in Vertical direction

m(2v)+m(-vsin\phi )=2m(ucos\theta )

2ucos\theta =v(2-sin\theta )------1

Conserving momentum in x direction

mvcos\phi =2musin\theta-----2

squaring and adding 1 &2

(2u)^2=(2v-vsin\phi )^2+(vcos\phi )^2

4u^2=4v^2+v^2-4v^2sin\phi

4u^2=5v^2-4v^2sin\phi

u=\frac{v}{2}\sqrt{5-4sin\phi }

You drop a rock down a well that is 5.4 m deep. How long does it take the rock to hit the bottom of the well?
Natali5045456 [20]
Equation of motion:

y_{f}=y_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}

Since initial velocity is zero, the second term goes away:

y_{f}=y_{o}+0+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}

y_{f}=y_{o}+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}

y_{f}-y_{o}= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}

y_{f}-y_{o}=5.4m

5.4m= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}

\frac{2(5.4m) }{a} = t^{2}

a = g = 9.81  \frac{m}{ s^{2}}

\frac{2(5.4m) }{9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2} } } = t^{2}

1.1 s^{2} = t^{2}\sqrt{1.1 s^{2}} =  \sqrt{t^{2}}

<u><em>t = 1.05s</em></u>
