Answer:
5488 Joules
Explanation:
Use the formula for the potential energy:
Answer:
D. The motion cannot be determined without knowing the speeds of the objects before the collision.
Explanation:
This question is tricky! We know the object moving to the left has a greater mass than the one moving to the right. We'd <em>assume</em> they would move to the left because the leftwards object has a greater mass, right?
Not. So. Fast.
We can solve for the objects' final velocity using the formula for momentum, m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v .
Now here's where the trap is sprung: <em>we don't think about the equation</em>. This shows that the final velocity of the objects and the direction depends on both the mass of the objects <em>and</em> their initial velocity.
Basically, what if the 3 kg object is moving at 1 m/s and the 4 kg object is moving at –0.5 m/s? The objects would move to the <em>right</em> after the collision!
Do we know the velocity of these objects? No, right?
That means we <em>can't</em> determine the direction of their motion <u>unless we know their initial, pre-collision velocity</u>. This question is tricky because we look at the 4 kg vs. 3 kg and automatically assume the 4 kg object would dictate the direction of motion. That's not true. It depends on velocity as well.
I hope this helps you! Have a great day!
Gestalt psychology is a a theory of mind of the Berlin School of experimental psychology. It tries to understand the laws of our ability to acquire and maintain meaningful perceptions in an apparently chaotic world. It proposes that the whole of an object or scene is more important than its individual parts.
This year is 60 years since I learned this stuff, and one of the things I always remembered is the formula for the distance a dropped object falls:
D = 1/2 A T²
Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)
The reason I never forgot it is because it's SO useful SO often. You really should memorize it. And don't bury it too deep in your toolbox ... you'll be needing it again very soon. (In fact, if you had learned it the first time you saw it, you could have solved this problem on your own today.)
The problem doesn't tell us what planet this is happening on, so let's make it easy and just assume it's on Earth. Then the 'acceleration' is Earth gravity, and that's 9.8 m/s² .
In 5 seconds:
D = 1/2 A T²
D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (5 sec)²
D = (4.9 m/s²) (25 sec²)
D = 122.5 meters
In 6 seconds:
D = 1/2 A T²
D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (6 sec)²
D = (4.9 m/s²) (36 sec²)
D = 176 meters
