If you increase either mass or velocity the momentum of an object increases proportionally if you double the mass or velocity you double the momentum

Blocks A (mass 2.00 kg) and B (mass 6.00 kg) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is at rest and block

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

av=0.333m/s, U=3.3466J

$v_{A2}=-1.333m/s,\\ v_{B2}=0.667m/s$

Explanation:

a. let $m_A$ be the mass of block A, and $m_B=10.0kg$ be the mass of block B. The initial velocity of A, $\rightarrow v_A_1=2.0m/s$

-The initial momentum =Final momentum since there's no external net forces.

$pA_1+pB_1=pA_2+pB_2\\\\P=mv\\\\\therefore m_Av_A_1+m_Bv_B_1=m_Av_{A2}+m_Bv_{B2}$

Relative velocity before and after collision have the same magnitude but opposite direction (for elastic collisions):

$v_A_1-v_B_1=v_{B2}-v_{A2}$

-Applying the conservation of momentum. The blocks have the same velocity after collision:

$v_{B2}=v_{A2}=v_2\\\\2\times 2+10\times 0=2v_2+10v_2\\\\v_2=0.3333m/s$

#Total Mechanical energy before and after the elastic collision is equal:

$K_1+U_{el,1}=K_2+U_{el,2}\\\\#Springs \ in \ equilibrium \ before \ collision\\\\U_{el,2}=K_1-K_2=0.5m_Av_A_1^2-0.5(m_A+m_B)v_2^2\\\\U_{el,2}=0.5\times 2\times 2^2-0.5(2+10)(0.333)^2\\\\U_{el,2}=3.3466J$

Hence, the maxumim energy stored is U=3.3466J, and the velocity=0.333m/s

b. Taking the end collision:

From a above, $m_A=2.0kg, m_B=10kg, v_A=2.0,v_B_1=0$

We plug these values in the equation:

$m_Av_A_1+m_Bv_B_1=m_Av_{A2}+m_Bv_{B2}$

$2\times2+10\times0=2v_A_2+10v_B_2\\\\2=v_A_2+5v_B_2\\\\#Eqtn 2:\\v_A_1-v_B_1=v_{B2}-v_{A2}\\\\2-0=v_{B2}-v_{A2}\\\\2=v_{B2}-v_{A2}\\\\#Solve \ to \ eliminate \ v_{A2}\\\\6v_{B2}=2.0\\\\v_{B2}==0.667m/s\\\\#Substitute \ to \ get \ v_{A2}\\\\v_{A2}=\frac{4}{6}-2=1.333m/s$

Friction and normal force are examples of

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Friction is a force that tends to oppose the relative motion between two bodies in contact. Frictional force always acts on a moving body from the direction opposite to the direction of motion. It opposes the motion, and therefore, helps to reduce the speed of the moving object. It is a contact force.
