Answer:

a) 0.60 kg cart has final velocity 3.0 m/s [E]

0.80 kg cart has final velocity 4.0 m/s [W]

b) 0.12 m

Explanation:

Take east to be positive.

a) Momentum is conserved.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(0.60) (-5.0) + (0.80) (2.0) = (0.60) v₁ + (0.80) v₂

-1.4 = 0.6 v₁ + 0.8 v₂

Kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collisions.

½ m₁u₁² + ½ m₂u₂² = ½ m₁v₁² + ½ m₂v₂²

m₁u₁² + m₂u₂² = m₁v₁² + m₂v₂²

(0.60) (-5.0)² + (0.80) (2.0)² = (0.60) v₁² + (0.80) v₂²

18.2 = 0.6 v₁² + 0.8 v₂²

Solve the system of equations.

-1.4 = 0.6 v₁ + 0.8 v₂

-1.4 − 0.6 v₁ = 0.8 v₂

-1.75 − 0.75 v₁ = v₂

18.2 = 0.6 v₁² + 0.8 (-1.75 − 0.75 v₁)²

18.2 = 0.6 v₁² + 0.8 (3.0625 +2.625 v₁ + 0.5625 v₁²)

182 = 6 v₁² + 8 (3.0625 + 2.625 v₁ + 0.5625 v₁²)

182 = 6 v₁² + 24.5 + 21 v₁ + 4.5 v₁²

0 = 10.5 v₁² + 21 v₁ − 157.5

0 = v₁² + 2 v₁ − 15

0 = (v₁ − 3) (v₁ + 5)

v₁ = 3 or -5

Since u₁ = -5.0 m/s, v₁ must be 3.0 m/s.

Solving for v₂:

v₂ = -0.75 v₁ − 1.75

v₂ = -4.0 m/s

b) The compression of the spring is a maximum when the carts have the same velocity.

Momentum is conserved.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

(0.60) (-5.0) + (0.80) (2.0) = (0.60 + 0.80) v

-1.4 = 1.4 v

v = -1.0

Energy is conserved.

½ m₁u₁² + ½ m₂u₂² = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v² + ½ kx²

m₁u₁² + m₂u₂² = (m₁ + m₂) v² + kx²

(0.60) (-5.0)² + (0.80) (2.0)² = (0.60 + 0.80) (-1.0)² + (1200) x²

18.2 = 1.4 + 1200 x²

16.8 = 1200 x²

x² = 0.014

x = 0.12

A friend says that the reason one's hair stands out while touching a charged Van de Graaff generator is simply that the hair str

Llana [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes I agree with the statement .

When a person who is perfectly insulated from the earth , touches a Van de Graaff , his body acquires charge . when the hair acquires it, it stands out due to mutual repulsion . It is to be noted here that at pointed areas on a surface , there is larger accumulation of charge. Accumulation of charge is greater at hair tops .

It is also a general observation that when a bird sits on high tension wire , his feather stands out due to the same reason.

A velocity-time graph is shown below: (2 points)

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

2m/s²

Explanation:

V=Vstart+at
rewrite that to find a so a=(V-Vstart)/t

part A of graph

a=(20m/s–0m/s)/5s
a=4m/s²

part B of graph

a=(0m/s–0m/s)/5s
a=0m/s²

the average between the two is both answers added divided by the number of answers

(4m/s²–0m/s²)/2
4m/s²/2
2m/s²

A fan blade is rotating with a constant angular acceleration of 11.5 rad/s2. At what point on the blade, as measured from the ax

vichka [17]

Answer:

Alpha = ω^2 R where R is radius of blade

g = w^2 r where r is distance from center

ω^2 R = 11.5 ω^2 r

R / r = 11.5 / 9.8 = 1.17

Or r = .852 R

Since the angular acceleration depends on both R and ω it seems that one can only get r as it depends on R

Which person would experience the greatest force of impact in a sudden collision? A 200 lb. man traveling 20 mph b 150 lb. woman

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

<em>The 150 lb woman at 30 mph would experience the greatest force of impact in a sudden collision.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum </u>

The force of impact exerted on an moving object that suddenly stops or changes its movement is measures by the physics magnitude called Impulse, which can be computed with the formula

$I=F.t$

Where F is the force and t is the time that force acts to produce the impact on the object. The impulse is also defined as the change in the momentum of the object:

$I=\Delta p=p_2-p_1$

Or equivalently

$I=m(v_2-v_1)$

The question describes four situations where different persons and object suffer impact that make them stop from their moving state. Thus $v_2=0$ and the impulse is
