A father racing his son has half the kinetic energy of the son, who has half the mass of the father.The father speeds up by 1.0

Helga [31]

Answer:

(a) $v_f=2.414\ m.s^{-1}$

(b) $v_s=4.828\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Let:

mass of father be, $m_f$

mass of son be, $m_s=\frac{m_f}{2}$

speed of son be, $v_s$

initial speed of father be, $v_f$

After speeding up, speed of father is $v_f+1$

<u>We know Kinetic Energy is given as</u>

$KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2$ .....................................(1)

where:

m = mass

v = velocity

Hence, according to the initial condition the father is having kinetic energy half the kinetic energy of the son.

$KE_s=2.KE_f$

$\frac{1}{2} m_s.v_s^2=2\times \frac{1}{2} m_f.v_f^2$

$(\frac{m_f}{2})\times v_s^2=2\times m_f\times v_f^2$

$v_s=2v_f$ .................................................(2)

According to the final condition:

$\frac{1}{2} m_s.v_s^2= \frac{1}{2} m_f.(v_f+1)^2$

$(\frac{m_f}{2})\times v_s^2=m_f.(v_f+1)^2$

$v_s^2=2(v_f+1)^2$

$v_s=\sqrt{2}(v_f+1)$ .....................................................(3)

(a)

From eq. 2 & 3

$2v_f=\sqrt{2}(v_f+1)$

$\sqrt{2}\ v_f=(v_f+1)$

$v_f(\sqrt{2}-1)=1$

$v_f=\frac{1}{(\sqrt{2}-1)}$

$v_f=2.414\ m.s^{-1}$

(b)

<em>putting the above value in eq. (2)</em>

$v_s=4.828\ m.s^{-1}$

Suppose a car is traveling in the negative x-direction and comes to a stop. What is the sign of that car’s acceleration? How do

Oduvanchick [21]

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, and t = time

In this case car is travelling in -x direction

Velocity of car = displacement / time

Since displacement value is increasing in negative x axis it's initial velocity is negative

And it's final velocity is zero since it comes to rest, and time is also positive

So, v= u+ at => 0 = -u + at

So, a = u/t

Which is positive and along positive X - direction
