A 1.6 kg ball is attached to the end of a 0.40 m string to form a pendulum. This pendulum is released from rest with the string

horizontal. At the lowest point of its swing, when it is moving horizontally, the ball collides with a 0.80 kg block that is at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. The speed of the block just after the collision is 3 m/s. What is the speed of the ball just after the collision

Answer:

the speed of the ball just after the collision is 1.5 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ball, m₁ = 1.6 kg

initial velocity of the ball, u₁ = 0

mass of the block, m₂ = 0.8 kg

initial velocity of the block, u₂ = 0

final velocity of the block, v₂ = 3 m/s

let the final velocity of the ball after collision = v₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for elastic collision;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

1.6 x 0 + 0.8 x 0 = 1.6 x v₁ + 0.8 x 3

0 = 1.6v₁ + 2.4

-1.6v₁ = 2.4

v₁ = -2.4 / 1.6

v₁ = - 1.5 m/s

v₁ = 1.5 m/s (in opposite direction of the block)

Therefore, the speed of the ball just after the collision is 1.5 m/s.

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 38 m in front of you. Your reaction tim

Bingel [31]

Answer:

given,

speed of the car = 20 m/s

final speed of car = 0 m/s

distance between car and the deer = 38 m

reaction time, t = 0.5 s

deceleration of the car = 10 m/s².

a) distance between deer and car

distance travel in the reaction time

d₁ = v x t

d₁ = 20 x 0.5 = 10 m

distance travel after you apply brake

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

0 = 20² - 2 x 10 x s

s = 20 m

total distance traveled by the car

D = d₁ + d₂

D = 20 + 10 = 30 m

distance between car and the deer = 38 m - 30 m

= 8 m

b) now, maximum speed car.

distance travel in reaction time

d₁ = s x t

d₁ = 0.5 V

distance left between them

d₂ = 38 - d₁

d₂ = 38 - 0.5 V

distance travel after you apply brake

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a d₂

0 = (V)² - 2 x 10 x (38 - 0.5 V)

V² + 10 V - 760 = 0

now, solving the quadratic equation

$x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$V = \dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4(1)(-760)}}{2(1)}$

V = 23.01 , -33.01

rejecting the negative term.

hence, maximum speed of the car could be V = 23.01 m/s

When a carpenter shuts off his circular saw, the 10.0 inch diameter blade slows from 4250 rpm to 0.00 in 4.00 s. (a) What is the

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

(a) $\alpha=-111.26rad/s$

(b) $s=4450.6in$

(c) $8.66in$

Explanation:

First change the units of the velocity, using these equivalents $1rev=2\pi rad$ and $1 min =60s$

$4250rpm(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})(\frac{1 min}{60 s} )=445.06rad/s$

The angular acceleration $\alpha$ the time rate of change of the angular speed $\omega$ according to:

$\alpha=\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta \omega=\omega_i-\omega_f$

Where $\omega_i$ is the original velocity, in the case the velocity before starting the deceleration, and $\omega_f$ is the final velocity, equal to zero because it has stopped.

$\alpha=\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} =\frac{\omega_i-\omega_f}{4}\frac{0-445.06}{4} =\frac{-445.06}{4} =-111.26rad/s$

b) To find the distance traveled in radians use the formula:

$\theta = \omega_i t + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2$

$\theta = 445.06 (4) + \frac{1}{2}(-111.26) (4)^2=1780.24-890.12=890.12rad$

To change this result to inches, solve the angular displacement $\theta$ for the distance traveled $s$ ( $r$ is the radius).

$\theta=\frac{s}{r} \\s=\theta r$

$s=890.12(5)=4450.6in$

c) The displacement is the difference between the original position and the final. But in every complete rotation of the rim, the point returns to its original position. so is needed to know how many rotations did the point in the 890.16 rad of distant traveled:

$\frac{890.12}{2\pi}=141.6667$

The real difference is in the 0.6667 (or 2/3) of the rotation. To find the distance between these positions imagine a triangle formed with the center of the blade (point C), the initial position (point A) and the final position (point B). The angle $\gamma=\frac{2\pi}{3}=\frac{360^o}{3}=120$ is between the two sides known. Using the theorem of the cosine we can find the missing side of the the triangle(which is also the net displacement):

$c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcos(\gamma)$

$c^2=5^2+5^2-2(5)(5)cos(\frac{2\pi}{3} )\\c^2=25+25+25\\c^2=75\\c=5\sqrt{3}=8.66in$
