Answer: 0.56 m/s
Explanation:
hello, there is 25° inclination angle for the chute in the drawing. Thankfully, I know this problem. The conservation of momentum.
so there are X and Y components for the momentum in this problem. The Y component is not conserved as when the coal gets in the cart, the normal force exerted by the surface reduces it to 0.
Now, the X component is definitely conserved here.
so you have the momentum of the cart which is 440*0.5 added to the momentum of the chunk which is 150*0.8*cos(25°), that is the momentum before the coupling between the objects. Afterwards both objects will have the same velocity, so we write the equation like this:
