Answer:

The total normal force acting on the system is approximately 58.8 N

Explanation:

The masses arranged in the stack are;

3 kg, 2 kg, and 1 kg

The mass of the stack system, m = 3 kg + 2 kg + 1 kg = 6 kg

Weight = The force of gravity on an object = m·g

Where;

m = The mass of the object

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

∴ The weight of the stack system, W ≈ 6 kg × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 58.8 N

The direction of the weight force = Perpendicular to the surface (acting downwards)

From Newton's third law of motion, the normal force acts perpendicular to the plane and it is equal in magnitude to the force acting perpendicular to the plane

∴ The magnitude of the total normal force acting on the system = The magnitude of the weight of the system ≈ 58.8 N

The (magnitude of the) total normal force acting on the system ≈ 58.8 N

Projectiles that strike objects are good examples of inelastic collisions. A 0.1 kg nail driven by a gas powered nail driver col

Ratling [72]

In an inelastic collision, only momentum is conserved, while energy is not conserved.

1) Velocity of the nail and the block after the collision
This can be found by using the total momentum after the collisions:
$p_f=(m+M)v_f=4.8 kg m/s$
where
m=0.1 kg is the mass of the nail
M=10 kg is the mass of the block of wood
Rearranging the formula, we find $v_f$ , the velocity of the nail and the block after the collision:
$v_f= \frac{p_f}{m+M}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg+10 kg}= 0.48 m/s$

2) The velocity of the nail before the collision can be found by using the conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision is given only by the nail (since the block is at rest), and it must be equal to the total momentum after the collision:
$p_i = mv_i = p_f$
Rearranging the formula, we can find $v_i$ , the velocity of the nail before the collision:
$v_i = \frac{p_f}{m}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg}=48 m/s$

V^2=u^2 +2aS
U is found first by considering that first 8 secs and using v=u+at. {different v and u though}

V=-u+gt.
Magnitude of u = magnitude of v if there is no resistance ( because the conservation of energy says the k. E. must be the same when it passes you as when it left your hand).... up is negative here, down is positive.
V+v=gt
2v= g x 8
V=4xg.= the initial velocity for the next calculation
V^2=(4g)^2+(2xgx21)

So v can be calculated.
