Se lanza una pelota de hule elástica de masa mA con una velocidad VAi contra la puerta trasera de un camión muy pesado de masa m
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
The total momentum of the system must conserve by the law of momentum conservation.
( 1 )
If you consider the shock between the ball and the truck as totally elastic, and also if the truck is much more massive than the ball, you can assume that the truck does not move when the ball hits it.
Then the truck is always at rest
Hence, you have in the expression ( 1 ):

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. From the definition of the final velocity, as the sum between the initial velocity and the product between the acceleration (gravity) by time, we will find the final velocity. From the second law of kinematics, we will find the vertical position traveled.
Here,
v = Final velocity
= Initial velocity
g = Acceleration due to gravity
t = Time
At t = 4s, v = -30m/s (Downward)
Therefore the initial velocity will be
Now the position can be calculated as,
When it has the ground, y=0 and the time is t=4s,
Therefore the cliff was initially to 41.6m from the ground
