In a carrom game, a striker weighs three times the mass of the other pieces, the carrom men and the queen, which each have a mas

s M. You shoot the striker with a speed V at the queen (which is at the center of the board) directly parallel to the rail that runs along the xaxis, hoping to pocket the queen in the bottom right corner. Assume the carrom board has edges that lay along the x- and y-axes and the board itself is in quadrant I and that the collision is elastic. If you make the shot, what is the relative velocity of the queen with respect to the striker after the collision?

Answer:

The relative velocity of the queen is -vy

Explanation:

If the collision is elastic, thus e = 1. The expression is equal:

e=\frac{relative-velocity-of-approach}{relative-velocity-of-separation} \\relative-velocity-of-approach=relative-velocity-of-separation

The relative velocity of separation is:

relative velocity of separation = 0 - vy = -vy

This expression means that:

velocity of queen - velocity of strikes = -vy

Thus the relative velocity of the queen with respect to the striker is equal to -vy

Answer:

- The final velocity of the queen is (3/2) of the initial velocity of the striker. That is, (3V/2)

- The final velocity of the striker is (1/2) of the initial velocity of the striker. That is, (V/2)

Hence, the relative velocity of the queen with respect to the striker after collision

= (3V/2) - (V/2)

= V m/s.

Explanation:

This is a conservation of Momentum problem.

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision.

The mass of the striker = M

Initial Velocity of the striker = V (+x-axis)

Let the final velocity of the striker be u

Mass of the queen = (M/3)

Initial velocity of the queen = 0 (since the queen was initially at rest)

Final velocity of the queen be v

Collision is elastic, So, momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.

Momentum before collision = (M)(V) + 0 = (MV) kgm/s

Momentum after collision = (M)(u) + (M/3)(v) = Mu + (Mv/3)

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision.

MV = Mu + (Mv/3)

V = u + (v/3)

u = V - (v/3) (eqn 1)

Kinetic energy balance

Kinetic energy before collision = (1/2)(M)(V²) = (MV²/2)

Kinetic energy after collision = (1/2)(M)(u²) + (1/2)(M/3)(v²) = (Mu²/2) + (Mv²/6)

Kinetic energy before collision = Kinetic energy after collision

(MV²/2) = (Mu²/2) + (Mv²/6)

V² = u² + (v²/3) (eqn 2)

Recall eqn 1, u = V - (v/3); eqn 2 becomes

V² = [V - (v/3)]² + (v²/3)

V² = V² - (2Vv/3) + (v²/9) + (v²/3)

(4v²/9) = (2Vv/3)

v² = (2Vv/3) × (9/4)

v² = (3Vv/2)

v = (3V/2)

Hence, the final velocity of the queen is (3/2) of the initial velocity of the striker and is in the same direction.

The final velocity of the striker after collision

= u = V - (v/3) = V - (V/2) = (V/2)

The relative velocity of the queen withrespect to the striker after collision

= (velocity of queen after collision) - (velocity of striker after collision)

= v - u

= (3V/2) - (V/2) = V m/s.

Answer:

Very sorry if this is late

Explanation:

Currently, in Olympia, Washington, it is raining because a cold front with high pressure has met an area with low pressure. This occurs due to the fact that storms are caused by sudden differences in air pressure.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

  • < 25 m/s
  • triangle inequality
  • between north and east
  • 45° < angle < 60°

Explanation:

(a) Just as one-dimensional numbers add on a number line by putting them end-to-end, so two-dimensional numbers add on a coordinate plane the same way.

Here, we choose to let the positive y-axis represent North, and the positive x-axis, East. This is the way a map is conventionally oriented. The velocity of the plane is represented by a vector pointing north (up). Its length represents the magnitude of the velocity. Likewise, the wind is represented by a vector of length 15 pointing east (right). The sum of these is the hypotenuse of the triangle they form.

The magnitude of the sum can be found here using the Pythagorean theorem, but for the purpose of this question, you're not asked to find that.

Instead, you're asked to estimate whether it is more or less than 25 (m/s).

Your knowledge of the triangle inequality will tell you that the hypotenuse (resultant) must be shorter than the sum of the lengths of the sides of the triangle, hence must be less than 10+15 = 25.

__

(b) The triangle inequality says the resultant is less than the sum of the other two sides of the triangle.

__

(c) Since the wind is blowing the plane toward the east, but the plane is traveling toward the north, the resulting direction is somewhere between north and east.

__

(d) "Somewhere between north and east" can be expressed as the inequality ...

ikadub [295]

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • We can take the initial velocity vector, which magnitude is a given (67 m/s) and project it along two directions perpendicular each other, which we choose horizontal (coincident with x-axis, positive to the right), and vertical (coincident with y-axis, positive upward).
  • Both movements are independent each other, due to they are perpendicular.
  • In the horizontal direction, assuming no other forces acting, once launched, the supply must keep the speed constant.
  • Applying the definition of cosine of an angle, we can find the horizontal component of the initial velocity vector, as follows:

       v_{avgx} = v_{o}*cos 50 = 67 m/s * cos 50 = 43.1 m/s (1)

  • Applying the definition of average velocity, since we know the horizontal distance to the target, we can find the time needed to travel this distance, as follows:

       t = \frac{\Delta x}{v_{avgx} } = \frac{400m}{43.1m/s} = 9.3 s  (2)

  • In the vertical direction, once launched, the only influence on the supply is due to gravity, that accelerates it with a downward acceleration that we call g, which magnitude is 9.8 m/s2.
  • Since g is constant (close to the Earth's surface), we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the vertical displacement at the same time t that we found above, as follows:

       \Delta y = v_{oy}  * t - \frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} (3)

  • In this case, v₀y, is just the vertical component of the initial velocity, that we can find applying the definition of the sine of an angle, as follows:

       v_{oy} = v_{o}*sin 50 = 67 m/s * sin 50 = 51.3 m/s (4)

  • Replacing in (3) the values of t, g, and v₀y, we can find the vertical displacement at the time t, as follows:

       \Delta y = (53.1m/s * 9.3s) - \frac{1}{2} *9.8m/s2*(9.3s)^{2} = 53.5 m (5)

  • Since when the payload have traveled itself 400 m, it will be at a height of 53.5 m (higher than the target) we can conclude that the payload will be delivered safely to the drop site.
