Answer:

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

Explanation:

Let north represent positive y axis and east represent positive x axis.

Here momentum is conserved.

Let the initial velocity be v.

Initial momentum = 4.4 x v = 4.4v

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 2.9 m/s, due north = 2.9 j m/s

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 6.8 m/s, 35° north of east = 6.9 ( cos 35i + sin35 j ) = 5.62 i + 3.96 j m/s

Final momentum = 2.2 x 2.9 j + 2.2 x (5.62 i + 3.96 j) = 12.364 i + 15.092 j kgm/s

We have

         Initial momentum = Final momentum

         4.4v = 12.364 i + 15.092 j

         v =2.81 i + 3.43 j

Magnitude

        v=\sqrt{2.81^2+3.43^2}=4.43m/s

Direction

       \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{3.43}{2.81}\right )=50.67^0

       50.67° north of east.

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

A particle of mass 4.00 kg is attached to a spring with a force constant of 100 N/m. It is oscillating on a frictionless, horizo
zloy xaker [14]

Solution :

Given :

Mass attached to the spring = 4 kg

Mass dropped = 6 kg

Force constant = 100 N/m

Initial amplitude = 2 m

Therefore,

a). $v_{initial} = A w$

          $= 2 \times \sqrt{\frac{100}{4}}$

          = 10 m/s

Final velocity, v at equilibrium position, v = 5 m/s

Now, $\frac{1}{2}(4+4)5^2 = \frac{1}{2} kA'$

A' = amplitude = 1.4142 m

b). $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

    m' = 2m

    Hence, $T'=\sqrt2 T$

c). $\frac{\frac{1}{2}(4+4)5^2 + \frac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 10^2}{\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 10^2}$

  $=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, factor $=\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, the energy will change half times as the result of the collision.
