Answer:

v₁f = -5.7 cm/s

Explanation:

  • Assuming no external forces acting during the collision, total momentum must be conserved, as follows:

        m_{1} * v_{10} = m_{1} *v_{1f} + m_{2} * v_{2f} (1)

  • Rearranging terms, we have:

        m_{1} * (v_{10} - *v_{1f} ) = m_{2} * v_{2f} (2)

  • We also know that the collision is elastic, so total kinetic energy must be conserved , as follows:

        \Delta K = 0 \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} * m_{1} *v_{10} ^{2} = \frac{1}{2}* m_{1}  *v_{1f} ^{2}  + \frac{1}{2}* m_{2}  *v_{2f} ^{2} (3)

  • Rearranging , and simplifying common terms, we have:

        m_{1}* (v_{10} ^{2} -v_{1f} ^{2} ) = m_{2}  *v_{2f} ^{2} (4)

  • Replacing by the givens, doing some algebra and dividing (4) by (2), we find the following relationship:

        v_{10} + v_{1f} = v_{2f}

  • Replacing the expression above in (1), as m₂ = 2*m₁, we can find the value of v₁f, as follows:

       m_{1} * v_{10}  = m_{1} * v_{1f} +2*m_{1} * (v_{10} + v_{1f})\\ \\ -(m_{1} * v_{10}) = 3* m_{1} *v_{1f} \\ \\ v_{1f} = - \frac{v_{10} }{3}  = \frac{-17.1cm/s}{3} = -5.7 cm/s

A summary of a source is usually
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

A shorter than the original source and in the researcher's words

Explanation:

The summary is an abridged version of the original source and in the researcher's own very words.

Summaries gives an over-arching perspective and excludes implicit details from a given text.

A summary should not be detailed and must avoid overt illustrations. They must capture the true essence of piece leaving out flowery details.

A summary should be lesser in length than the original piece. Any third party reader should immediately be able to grab the details of the original piece from the summary.
