One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other wor

ds, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 24 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 3.8 and 8.4 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially and the case (b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.

Answer:

Part a)

v = 16.52 m/s

Part b)

v = 7.47 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

(a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially

So here we can use momentum conservation as the net force on the system of two masses will be zero

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = (m_1 + m_2)v

since this is a perfect inelastic collision so after collision both balls will move together with same speed

so here we can say

v = \frac{(m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i})}{(m_1 + m_2)}

v = \frac{(8.4\times 24 + 3.8\times 0)}{3.8 + 8.4}

v = 16.52 m/s

Part b)

(b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially

here also we can use momentum conservation as the net force on the system of two masses will be zero

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = (m_1 + m_2)v

Again this is a perfect inelastic collision so after collision both balls will move together with same speed

so here we can say

v = \frac{(m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i})}{(m_1 + m_2)}

v = \frac{(8.4\times 0 + 3.8\times 24)}{3.8 + 8.4}

v = 7.47 m/s

A 126- kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.70 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1800-kg space capsul
jeka94

The change in the speed of the space capsule will be -0.189 m/s.

The average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.

<h3>Given:</h3>

Mass of the astronaut, m_a = 126 kg

Speed he acquires, v_{a}  = 2.70 m/s

Mass of the space capsule, m_{c} = 1800kg

The initial momentum of the astronaut-capsule system is zero due to rest.

P_f = m_av_a + m_cv_c

P_I = 0

m_av_a + m_cv_c = 0

v_c =\frac{- m_a v_a}{m_c}}\\\\

   = \frac{126* 2.70}{1800}

   = - 0.189 m/s

Therefore,

According, to the impulse-momentum theorem;

FΔt = ΔP

ΔP = m Δv

ΔP = 126×2.70

    = 340.2 kgm/sec

t is time interval = 0.600s

F = ΔP/Δt

F = 340.2/0.600

  = 567 N

Therefore, the average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The Kinetic Energy of the astronaut;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

     = \frac{1}{2} × 126 × (2.70) ^2

     = 459.27 J

The Kinetic Energy of the capsule;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

     = \frac{1}{2}×1800×(0.189) ^2

     = 32.14 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.

Light of wavelength 480 nm illuminates a pair of slits separated by 0.27 mm. If a screen is place 1.7 m from the slits, determin
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

  Δy = 6.05 mm

Explanation:

The double slit phenomenon is described by the expression

      d sin θ = m λ                constructive interference

      d sin θ = (m + ½) λ       destructive interference

      m = 0,±1, ±2, ...

As they tell us that they measure the dark stripes, we are in a case of destructive interference, let's use trigonometry to find the sins tea

      tan θ = y / x

      y = x tan θ

In the interference experiments the measured angle is very small so we can approximate the tangent

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

     cos θ = 1

     tan θ = sin θ

     y = x sin θ

We substitute in the destructive interference equation

     d (y / x) = (m + ½) λ

    y = (m + ½) λ x / d

The first dark strip occurs for m = 0 and the third dark strip for m = 2. Let's find the distance for these and subtract it

 m = 0

      y₀ = (0+ ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

      y₀ = 1.511 10⁻³ m

 m = 2

     y₂ = (2 + ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

     y₂ = 7.556 10⁻³ m

The separation between these strips is Δy

     Δy = y₂-y₀

     Δy = (7.556 - 1.511) 10⁻³

     Δy = 6.045 10⁻³ m

     Δy = 6.05 mm
