Two identical cars A and B are at rest on a loading dock with brakes released. Car C, of a slightly different style but of the s

ame weight, has been pushed by dockworkers and hits car B with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution is 0.8 between B and C, and it is 0.5 between A and B, determine the velocity of each car after all collisions have taken place

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity after first collision be v₁ and v₂ of car A and B . car A will bounce back .

velocity of approach = 1.5 - 0 = 1.5

velocity of separation = v₁ + v₂

coefficient of restitution = velocity of separation / velocity of approach

.8 = v₁ + v₂ / 1.5

v₁ + v₂ = 1.2

applying law of conservation of momentum

m x 1.5 + 0 = mv₂ - mv₁

1.5 = v₂ - v₁

adding two equation

2 v ₂= 2.7

v₂ = 1.35 m /s

v₁ = - .15 m / s

During second collision , B will collide with stationary A . Same process will apply in this case also. Let velocity of B and A after collision be v₃ and v₄.

For second collision ,

coefficient of restitution = velocity of separation / velocity of approach

.5 = v₃ + v₄ / 1.35

v₃ + v₄ = .675

applying law of conservation of momentum

m x 1.35 + 0 = mv₄ - mv₃

1.35 = v₄ - v₃

adding two equation

2 v ₄= 2.025

v₄ = 1.0125 m /s

v₃ = - 0 .3375  m / s

Answer:

Orbit

Explanation:

The term that describes motion of the shuttle around earth is called as<em> Orbit.</em>

The orbit is defined as a regular repeating path that object takes around another.

The shuttle circles around the earth at a constant distance from earth surface is because of earth gravity and forward motion of earth.
