A 4-kg mass moving with speed 2 m/s, and a 2-kg mass moving with a speed of 4 m/s, are gliding over a horizontal frictionless su

rface. Both objects encounter the same horizontal force, which directly opposes their motion, and are brought to rest by it. Which statement best describes their respective stopping distances?
A) Both masses travel the same distance before stopping.
B) The 2-kg mass travels twice as far as the 4-kg mass before stopping
C) The 2 kg mass travels greater than twice as far
D) The 4-kg mass travels twice as far as the 2-kg mass before stopping

Answer:

B) The 2-kg mass travels twice as far as the 4-kg mass before stopping

Explanation:

As we know that both mass have same horizontal force opposite to their motion

So we will have

a = \frac{F}{m}

a_1 = \frac{F}{4}

a_2 = \frac{F}{2}

now the stopping distance of an object moving with initial speed v is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2(-a) d

d = \frac{v^2}{2a}

so here we have

d_1 = \frac{2^2}{\frac{F}{4}}

d_1 = \frac{16}{F}

for other object we have

d_2 = \frac{4^2}{\frac{F}{2}}

d_2 = \frac{32}{F}

So correct answer will be

B) The 2-kg mass travels twice as far as the 4-kg mass before stopping

The velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

<h3>What is the conservation of momentum?</h3>

The principle of the conservation of the linear momentum states that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

Now given that;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

(0.1 * 15) - (0.1 * 12) = 0.1* v + (0.1 * 15)

1.5 - 1.2 = 0.1v + 1.5

0.3 - 1.5 = 0.1v

v = -1.2/0.1

v = - 12 m/s

Hence, the velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

1) A train accelerates from 36 km/hr to 54 km/hr in 10<br> s. Find acceleration?
Crank

Answer: Given:

Initial velocity= 36km/h=36x5/18=10m/s

Final velocity =54km/h=54x5/18=15m/s

Time =10sec

Acceleration = v-u/ t

=15-10/10=5/10=1/2=0.5 m/s2

Distance =s=?

From second equation of motion:

S=ut +1/2 at^2

=10*10+1/2*0.5*10*10

=100+25

=125m

So distance travelled 125m

Hope it helps you
