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

A is moving toward it at 2.00 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is head-on, so all motion before and after the collision is along a straight line. (a) Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers and the velocity of each block at that time. (b) Find the velocity of each block after they have moved apart.

Answer:

av=0.333m/s, U=3.3466J

b.

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

Explanation:

a. let m_A be the mass of block A, andm_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

2.) The lob in tennis is an effective tactic when your opponent is near the net. It consists of lofting the ball over his/her he
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The minimum average speed the opponent must move so that he is in position to hit the ball is approximately 5.79 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the ball are;

The initial speed of the ball = 15 m/s

The direction in which the ball is launched = 50° above the horizontal

The location of the other tennis player when the ball is launched = 10 m from the ball

The time at which the other tennis player begins to run = 0.3 seconds after the ball is launched

The height at which the ball is hit back = 2.1 m above the height from which the ball is launched

The vertical position, 'y', at time, 't', of a projectile motion is given as follows;

y = (u·sinθ)·t - 1/2·g·t²

When y = 2.1 m, we have;

2.1 = (15·sin(50°))·t - 1/2·9.8·t²

∴ 4.9·t² - (15·sin(50°))·t + 2.1 = 0

Solving with the aid of a graphing calculator function, we get;

t = 0.199776187257 s or t = 2.14525782198 s

Therefore, the ball is at 2.1 m above the start point on the other side of the court at t ≈ 2.145 seconds

The horizontal distance, 'x', the ball travels at t ≈ 2.145 seconds is given as follows;

x = u × cos(50°) × t = 15 × cos(50°) × 2.145 ≈ 20.682 m

The horizontal distance the ball travels at t ≈ 2.145 seconds, x ≈ 20.682 m

Therefore, we have;

The time the other player has to reach the ball, t₂ =2.145 s - 0.3 s ≈ 1.845 s

The distance the other player has to run, d = 20.682 m - 10 m = 10.682 m

The minimum average speed the other player has to move with, v_s = d/t₂

∴ v_s = 10.682 m/(1.845 s) ≈ 5.78970189702 m/s ≈ 5.79 m/s

The minimum average speed the opponent must move so that he is in position to hit the ball, v_s ≈ 5.79 m/s.

How much power does it take to lift a 30.0 n box 10.0 m high in 5.00 s, if you must apply a 62n force to lift the box?
Illusion [34]
Power is defined as the rate at which the body is doing work:
P=\frac{W}{t}
Work is defined as displacement done by the force times that displacement:
W=F\cdot h
We know that we need 62N to move the box, so when we apply this force along the path of 10m we have done:
W=62N\cdot10m=620J
of work.
Now we just divide that by 5s to get how much power is required:
P=\frac{620J}{5s}=124W

11m if you add 6+5 you get 11 but of course you need the “m” in the mix so 11m but correct me if I’m wrong.
