Amy is in-line skating. Her mass is 50 kg. She is rolling forward (north) on a flat section of road at 10 m/s. The rolling frict

ion acting on the wheels of her skates is 10 N backward (south). Air resistance creates a 15 N force also acting backward (south) on her. If these are the only horizontal forces acting on Amy. What is her horizontal acceleration as a result of these forces?

Answer:

The right solution is "0.50 m/s²". A further explanation is provided below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass,

m = 50 kg

Speed,

v = 10 m/s

Rolling friction acting backward (south),

f = 10 N

Air resistance acting backward (south),

F_T = 15 N

The total force acting will be:

⇒  F = -f-F

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒      =-10-15

⇒      =-25 \ N

Now,

⇒  a = \frac{F}{m}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒     =\frac{-25}{50}

⇒     =-0.50 \ m/s^2

The horizontal acceleration will be "0.50 m/s²" because the (-)ve sign indicates it in south direction.

A .5 kg air puck moves to the right at 3 m/s, colliding with a 1.5kg air puck that is moving to the left at 1.5 m/s.
arlik [135]

Answer:

part (a) v = 1.7 m/s towards right direction

part (b) Not an elastic collision

part (c) F = -228.6 N towards left.

Explanation:

Given,

  • Mass of the first puck = m_1\ =\ 5\ kg
  • Mass of the second puck = m_2\ =\ 3\ kg
  • initial velocity of the first puck = u_1\ =\ 3\ m/s.
  • Initial velocity of the second puck = u_2\ =\ -1.5\ m/s.

Part (a)

Pucks are stick together after the collision, therefore the final velocities of the pucks are same as v.

From the conservation of linear momentum,

m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2\ =\ (m_1\ +\ m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \dfrac{m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \dfrac{5\times 3\ -\ 1.5\times 1.5}{5\ +\ 1.5}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 1.7\ m/s.

Direction of the velocity is towards right due to positive velocity.

part (b)

Given,

Final velocity of the second puck = v_2\ =\ 2.31\ m/s.

Let v_1 be the final velocity of first puck after the collision.

From the conservation of linear momentum,

m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2\ +\ m_1v_1\ +\ m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1\ =\ \dfrac{m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2\ -\ m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1\ =\ \dfrac{5\times 3\ -\ 1.5\times 1.5\ -\ 1.5\times 2.31}{5}\\\Rightarrow v_1\ =\ 1.857\ m/s.

For elastic collision, the coefficient of restitution should be 1.

From the equation of the restitution,

v_1\ -\ v_2\ =\ e(u_2\ -\ u_1)\\\Rightarrow e\ =\ \dfrac{v_1\ -\ v_2}{u_2\ -\ u_1}\\\Rightarrow e\ =\ \dfrac{1.857\ -\ 2.31}{-1.5\ -\ 3}\\\Rightarrow e\ =\ 0.1\\

Therefore the collision is not elastic collision.

part (c)

Given,

Time of impact = t = 25\times 10^{-3}\ sec

we know that the impulse on an object due to a force is equal to the change in momentum of the object due to the collision,

\therefore I\ =\ \ m_1v_1\ -\ m_1u_1\\\Rightarrow F\times t\ =\ m_1(v_1\ -\ u_1)\\\Rightarrow F\ =\ \dfrac{m_1(v_1\ -\ u_1)}{t}\\\Rightarrow F\ =\ \dfrac{5\times (1.857\ -\ 3)}{25\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow F\ =\ -228.6\ N

Negative sign indicates that the force is towards in the left side of the movement of the first puck.

A rifle that shoots bullets at 477 m/s is to be aimed at a target 45.5 m away. If the center of the target is level with the rif
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The rifle barrel must be pointed at a height of 4.45cm above the target so that the bullet hits dead center.

Explanation:

First, we need to sketch the situation so we can have a better idea of what the problem looks like (Refer to uploaded picture).

So as you may see in the drawing, when pointing the rifle to the target, we can see it as a triangle, but in reality, the bullet will have a parabolic trajectory. Both points of view will help us determine what the height must be. In order to find it, we need to first determine at what angle the bullet should be shot. In order to do so we can use the range formula, which looks like this:

R=\frac{v^{2}sin(2\theta)}{g}

Where R is the range of the bullet (this is how far it goes before it has the

same height it was shot from), v is the original speed of the bullet, θ is the angle at which the bullet is shot and g is the acceleration of gravity.

We can solve this equation for theta, so we get:

gR=v^{2}sin(2\theta)

\frac{gR}{v^{2}}=sin(2\theta)

sin^{-1}(\frac{gR}{v^{2}})=2\theta

\theta=\frac{sin^{-1}(\frac{gR}{v^{2}})}{2}

so now we can substitute the given data:

\theta=\frac{sin^{-1}(\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})(45.5m)}{(477m/s)^{2}})}{2}

so we get:

θ=0.05614°

once we get the angle, we can look at the triangle diagram. From the drawing we can see that we can use the tan function to find the height:

tan \theta = \frac{h}{45.5m}

so we can solve this for h, so we get:

h=45.5m*tan(0.05614^{o})

which yields:

h=0.0445m

or

h=4.45cm
