Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{C. 2.3 m/s}}

Explanation:

Data:

m_{\text{A} } = \text{0.20 kg};\,v_{\text{Ai}} = \text{3.0 m/s}\\m_{\text{B} } = \text{0.40 kg};\,v_{\text{Bi}} = \text{2.0 m/s}\\

Calculation:

This is a perfectly inelastic collision.  The two carts stick together after the collision and move with a common final velocity.

The conservation of momentum equation is

\begin{array}{rcl}m_{\text{A}}v_{\text{Ai}} +m_{\text{B}} v_{\text{Bi}}&=&(m_{\text{A}}  + m_{\text{B}})v_{\text{f}}\\0.20\times 3.0 + 0.40\times 2.0 & = & (0.20 + 0.40)v_{\text{f}}\\0.60 + 0.80 & = & 0.60v_{\text{f}}\\1.40 & = & 0.60v_{\text{f}}\\v_{\text{f}}&=& \dfrac{1.40}{0.60}\\\\& = & \textbf{2.3 m/s}\\\end{array}\\\text{The centre of mass has a velocity of $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.3 m/s}}$}

A bug on the surface of a pond is observed to move up and down a total vertical distance of 6.5 cm , from the lowest to the high
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

factor that bug maximum KE change is 0.52284

Explanation:

given data

vertical distance = 6.5 cm

ripples decrease to =  4.7 cm

solution

We apply here formula for the KE of particle that executes the simple harmonic motion that is express as

KE = (0.5) × m × A² × ω²     .................1

and kinetic energy is  directly proportional to square of the amplitude.

so

\frac{KE2}{KE1} =  \frac{A2^2}{A1^2}      .............2

\frac{KE2}{KE1} = \frac{4.7^2}{6.5^2}

\frac{KE2}{KE1} = 0.52284

so factor that bug maximum KE change is 0.52284

Each of the gears a and b has a mass of 675 g and has a radius of gyration of 40 mm, while gear c has a mass of 3. 6 kg and a ra
navik [9.2K]

9.87 seconds

The time required for this system to come to rest is equal to 9.87 seconds.

We have the following data:

Mass of gear A = 675 g to kg = 0.675 kg.

Radius of gear A = 40 mm to m = 0.04 m.

Mass of gear C = 3.6 kg.

Radius of gear C = 100 mm to m = 0.1 m.

How can I calculate the time needed?

We would need to figure out the moment of inertia for gears A and C in order to compute the time needed for this system to come to rest.

Mathematically, the following formula can be used to determine the moment of inertia for a gear:

I = mr²

Where:

m is the mass.

r is the radius.

We have, For gear A:

I = mr²

I = 0.675 × 0.04²

I = 0.675 × 0.0016

I = 1.08 × 10⁻³ kg·m².

We have, For gear C:

I = mr²

I = 3.6 × 0.1²

I = 3.6 × 0.01

I = 0.036 kg·m².

The initial angular velocity of gear C would therefore be converted as follows from rotations per minute (rpm) to radians per second (rad/s):

ωc₁ = 2000 × 2π/60

ωc₁ = 4000π/60

ωc₁ = 209.44 rad/s.

Also, the initial angular velocity of gears A and B is given by:

ωA₁ = ωB₁ = rc/rA × (ωc₁)

ωA₁ = ωB₁ = 0.15/0.06 × (209.44)

ωA₁ = ωB₁ = 2.5 × (209.44)

ωA₁ = ωB₁ = 523.60 rad/s.

Taking the moment about A, we have:

I_A·ωA₁ + rA∫F_{AC}dt - M(f)_A·t = 0

On Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

(1.08 × 10⁻³)·(523.60) + 0.06∫F_{AC}dt - 0.15t = 0

0.15t - 0.06∫F_{AC}dt = 0.56549   ----->equation 1.

Similarly, the moment about B is given by:

0.15t - 0.06∫F_{BC}dt = 0.56549    ------>equation 2.

Note: Let x = ∫F_{BC}dt + ∫F_{AC}dt

Adding eqn. 1 & eqn. 2, we have:

0.3t - 0.06x = (0.56549) × 2

0.3t - 0.06x = 1.13098  ------>equation 3.

Taking the moment about A, we have:

Ic·ωc₁ - rC∫F_{AC}dt - rC∫F_{BC}dt - Mc(f)_A·t = 0

0.036(209.44) - 0.3t - 0.15(∫F_{BC}dt + ∫F_{AC}dt) = 0

0.3t + 0.15x = 7.5398    ------->equation 4.

Solving eqn. 3 and eqn. 4 simultaneously, we have:

x = 30.5 Ns.

Time, t = 9.87 seconds.
