At an amusement park there are 200-kg bumper cars A, B, and C that have riders with masses of 55 kg, 90 kg, and 42.5 kg respecti

vely. Car A is moving to the right with a velocity vA = 2 m/s and car C has a velocity vC = 1.5 m/s to the left, but car B is initially at rest. The coefficient of restitution between each car is 0.8. Determine the final velocity of each car, after all impacts, assuming car A hits car B before car C does. Assume positive sign denoting forward motion and negative sign denoting backward motion.

Answer:

Vb = 0.334 m/s

Va = -1.265 m/s

Vc = 1.424 m/s

Explanation:

Favorite Answer

Initial momentum = 255(2) – 242.5(1.5) = 146.25

Final momentum = 255Va + 290Vb + 242.5 Vc = 146.25

Vb - Va = 0.8(2) = 1.6

Vc - Vb = 0.8(1.5) = 1.2

Va = Vb -1.6

Vc = Vb + 1.2

255(Vb -1.6) + 290Vb + 242.5(Vb + 1.2) = 146.25

255 Vb – 408 + 290 Vb + 242.5 Vb + 291 = 146.25

787.5 Vb = 263.25

Vb = 0.334 m/s

Va = Vb -1.6 = 0.334 – 1.6 = -1.265 m/s

Vc = Vb + 1.2 = 0.224 + 1.2 = 1.424 m/s

And air rifle pellet of mass 2 g Is fired into a block of modelling clay mounted on a model railway track. The trunk and modelli
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

0.0816 kgm/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Momentum of the pellet just before it hits the modelling clay is = (mass of the pellet+ mass of the truck clay)×initial velocity of pellet.

P =(M+m)u...................... Equation 1

Where P =  initial momentum of the pellet, m = mass of the pellet, u = initial speed of the pillet, M = mass of the truck

Given: m = 2 g = 2/1000 kg = 0.002 kg, u = 0.8 m/s, M = 0.1 kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (0.002+0.1)0.8

P = (0.102)0.8

P = 0.0816 kgm/s

A particle is located on the x axis 4.9 m from the origin. A force of 38 N, directed 30° above the x axis in the x-y plane, acts
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Torque is 93 Nm anticlockwise.

Explanation:

We have value of torque is cross product of position vector and force vector.

A force of 38 N, directed 30° above the x axis in the x-y plane.

        Force, F = 38 cos 30 i + 38 sin 30 j = 32.91 i + 19 j

A particle is located on the x axis 4.9 m and we have to find torque about the origin on the particle.

Position vector, r = 4.9 i

Torque, T = r x F = 4.9 i x (32.91 i + 19 j) = 4.9 x 19 k = 93.1 k Nm

So Torque is 93 Nm anticlockwise.
