A 1500-kg sedan goes through a wide intersection traveling from north to south when it is hit by a 2200-kg SUV traveling from ea

st to west. The two cars become enmeshed due to the impact and slide as one thereafter. On-the-scene measurements show that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires of these cars and the pavement is 0.75, and the cars slide to a halt at a point 5.39 m west and 6.43 m south of the impact point. How fast was each car traveling just before the collision?

Answer:

Velocity of Sedan = 21 m/s

Velocity of SUV = 12 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that deceleration due to friction force is given as

a = - \mu g

so we have

a = -(0.75)(9.81)

a = -7.36 m/s^2

now the two cars comes to rest at a point which is at position of 5.39 m West and 6.43 m South

so net displacement of the car is given as

d = \sqrt{5.39^2 + 6.43^2}

d = 8.39 m

now the velocity of the two cars just after the impact is given as

v^2 - v_i^2 = 2a d

0 - v_i^2 = 2(-7.36)(8.39)

v_i = 11.11 m/s

direction of the motion is given as

tan\theta = \frac{6.43}{5.39}

\theta = 50 degree South of West

now we can use momentum conservation as there is no external force on it

Momentum conservation in North to south direction

m_1 v_1 = (m_1 + m_2) vsin\theta

1500 v_1 = (1500 + 2200) (11.11) sin50

v_1 = 21 m/s

Similarly momentum conservation towards West direction

m_2 v_2 = (m_1 + m_2) vsin\theta

2200 v_2 = (1500 + 2200) (11.11) cos50

v_2 = 12 m/s

A horizontal spring is attached to the wall on one end and to a mass on the other end. The mass can slide freely on a frictionle
Radda [10]

Answer:

a) x=0  %T=0,   b) x= A %T=100%,   c) x=-A %T=50%

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic movement exercise, which is explained by the expression

          x = A cos (wt + Ф)

where angular velocity is related to frequency and period

         w = 2π f = 2π / T

we can write the equation of the oscillation

         x = A cos θ

When seeing the two equations they are equivalent, so what happens with the angle will also happen with time

We are asked for the percentage of the period at three points: at the maximum elongation and at the point of x = 0, in general the distance is measured from the point of the spring without stretching

The period is defined as the time that the system takes to give a complete oscillation, that is, from x = 0 to x = A and return

a) for the unstretched spring point x = 0

In general, both distance and time are measured from this point, so the percentage of time is zero.

         % T = 0

b) for x = A

 let's find the angle

      cos tea = x / A = 1

therefore the angles tea = 2π rad

when the movement reaches the point of 2π radians it begins to repeat so the period is complete

            % T = 100%

c) the point of maximum compression x = -A

let's look for the angles

      cos tea = x / A = -1

therefore the angles tea = π rad

at this point the movement is halfway so it should take half the time

                % T = 50%

A block with mass m =6.4 kg is hung from a vertical spring. When the mass hangs in equilibrium, the spring stretches x = 0.28 m.
Zanzabum

Answer

given,

mass of block (m)= 6.4 Kg

spring is stretched to distance, x = 0.28 m

initial velocity = 5.1 m/s

a) computing weight of spring

    k x = m g

k = \dfrac{mg}{x}

k = \dfrac{6.4 \times 9.8}{0.28}

      k = 224 N/m

b) f = \dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}

    \omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}= \sqrt{\dfrac{224}{6.4}} = 5.92 \ rad/s

   f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

   f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{224}{6.4}}

  f =0.94\ Hz

c)  v_b = -v cos \omega t

    v_b = -5.1 \times cos (5.92 \times 0.42)

    v_b = 4.04\ m/s

d)  a_{max} = v \omega

    a_{max} = 4.04 \times 5.92

    a_{max} =23.94\ m/s^2

e)  Y =- A sin (\omega t)

    A = \dfrac{v}{\omega}

    A = \dfrac{4.04}{5.92}

        A = 0.682 m

    Y =- 0.682 \times sin (5.92 \times 0.42)

    Y =- 0.42

Force =m \omega^2 |Y|

          =6.4 \times 5.92^2\times 0.42

F = 94.20 N
