Answer:

part (a) v = 1.7 m/s towards right direction

part (b) Not an elastic collision

part (c) F = -228.6 N towards left.

Explanation:

Given,

  • Mass of the first puck = m_1\ =\ 5\ kg
  • Mass of the second puck = m_2\ =\ 3\ kg
  • initial velocity of the first puck = u_1\ =\ 3\ m/s.
  • Initial velocity of the second puck = u_2\ =\ -1.5\ m/s.

Part (a)

Pucks are stick together after the collision, therefore the final velocities of the pucks are same as v.

From the conservation of linear momentum,

m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2\ =\ (m_1\ +\ m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \dfrac{m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \dfrac{5\times 3\ -\ 1.5\times 1.5}{5\ +\ 1.5}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 1.7\ m/s.

Direction of the velocity is towards right due to positive velocity.

part (b)

Given,

Final velocity of the second puck = v_2\ =\ 2.31\ m/s.

Let v_1 be the final velocity of first puck after the collision.

From the conservation of linear momentum,

m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2\ +\ m_1v_1\ +\ m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1\ =\ \dfrac{m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2\ -\ m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1\ =\ \dfrac{5\times 3\ -\ 1.5\times 1.5\ -\ 1.5\times 2.31}{5}\\\Rightarrow v_1\ =\ 1.857\ m/s.

For elastic collision, the coefficient of restitution should be 1.

From the equation of the restitution,

v_1\ -\ v_2\ =\ e(u_2\ -\ u_1)\\\Rightarrow e\ =\ \dfrac{v_1\ -\ v_2}{u_2\ -\ u_1}\\\Rightarrow e\ =\ \dfrac{1.857\ -\ 2.31}{-1.5\ -\ 3}\\\Rightarrow e\ =\ 0.1\\

Therefore the collision is not elastic collision.

part (c)

Given,

Time of impact = t = 25\times 10^{-3}\ sec

we know that the impulse on an object due to a force is equal to the change in momentum of the object due to the collision,

\therefore I\ =\ \ m_1v_1\ -\ m_1u_1\\\Rightarrow F\times t\ =\ m_1(v_1\ -\ u_1)\\\Rightarrow F\ =\ \dfrac{m_1(v_1\ -\ u_1)}{t}\\\Rightarrow F\ =\ \dfrac{5\times (1.857\ -\ 3)}{25\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow F\ =\ -228.6\ N

Negative sign indicates that the force is towards in the left side of the movement of the first puck.

A racecar begins at rest and accelerates to 25 m/s at a rate of 6.25 m/s2. What distance does the racecar cover?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

d.

50 m

Explanation:

v² = u² + 2as

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s =(25² - 0²) / (2(6.25))

s = 50 m

A uniform solid disk rolls without slipping down an incline making an angle θ with the horizontal. What is its acceleration? (En
Maru [420]

Answer:

aCM = (2/3)*g*Sin θ

Explanation:

Consider a uniform solid disk having mass M,  radius R and rotational inertia I  about its center of mass, rolling without  slipping down an inclined plane.

In order to get the linear acceleration of the object’s center of mass, aCM ,

down the incline,  we analyze this as follows:

The force of gravity (W = Mg) acting straight down  is resolved into components parallel and  perpendicular to the incline.

Since the object rolls without  slipping there is a force of  friction (Ff) acting on the object,  at it’s point of contact with the  incline, in the direction up  the incline.

Newton’s 2nd Law gives then for acceleration down the incline

∑Fx' = m*aCM   ⇒    m*g*Sin θ - Ff = m*aCM

The force of friction also causes a torque around the center of mass

having lever arm R so we can also write

τ = R*Ff = I*α

Solving for the friction,    Ff = I*α / R

This is used in the expression  derived from the 2nd Law:

m*g*Sin θ - Ff = m*g*Sin θ - (I*α / R) = m*aCM

The objects angular acceleration is related to the linear acceleration  of the edge that contacts the incline by

a = R*α

Since the object rolls without  slipping this has the same  magnitude as aCM so we have  that

α = aCM / R

Using this in

m*g*Sin θ - (I*α / R) = m*g*Sin θ - (I*(aCM / R) / R) = m*aCM

⇒  aCM = (m*g*Sin θ*R²) / (I + m*R²)

if I = (1/2)*m*R²   (for a uniform solid disk)

we get

aCM = (2/3)*g*Sin θ
