Hi there!
II. Linear momentum of the system is zero.
This is an example of a RECOIL collision. With the Law of Conservation of Momentum, momentum remains constant before and after the collision.
Thus, the total momentum would also be equivalent to zero after the collision.
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) V = 3 cos(0.5t)
differentiating with respect to t
dv /dt = -3 x .5 sin0.5t
= -1.5 sin0.5t.
acceleration = - 1.5 sin 0.5t
when t = 3 s
acceleration = - 1.5 sin 1.5
= - 1.496 ms⁻²
v = 3 cos.5t
b ) dx/dt = 3 cos 0.5 t
dx = 3 cos 0.5 t dt
integrating on both sides
x = 3 sin .5t / .5
x = 6 sin0.5t
At t = 2 s
x = 6 sin 1
x = 5.05 m
