vf₁ = 6.86 m/s , to the right
vf₂ = 2.96 m/s, to the right
Explanation:
Theory of collisions
Linear momentum is a vector magnitude (same direction of the velocity) and its magnitude is calculated like this:
p=m*v
where
p:Linear momentum
m: mass
v:velocity
There are 3 cases of collisions : elastic, inelastic and plastic.
For the three cases the total linear momentum quantity is conserved:
P₀ = Pf Formula (1)
P₀ :Initial linear momentum quantity
Pf : Final linear momentum quantity
Data
m₁= 0.220 kg : mass of object₁
m₂= 0.345 kg : mass of object₂
v₀₁ = 2.1 m/s ₁ , to the right : initial velocity of m₁
v₀₂= 6 m/s, to the right i :initial velocity of m₂
Problem development
We appy the formula (1):
P₀ = Pf
m₁*v₀₁ + m₂*v₀₂ = m₁*vf₁ + m₂*vf₂
We assume that the two objects move to the right at the end of the collision, so, the sign of the final speeds is positive:
(0.22)*(2.1) + (0.345)*(6) = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*vf₂
2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*vf₂ Equation (1)
Because the shock is elastic, the coefficient of elastic restitution (e) is equal to 1.
1*(v₀₁ - v₀₂ ) = (vf₂ -vf₁)
(2.1 - 6 ) = (vf₂ -vf₁)
-3.9 = (vf₂ -vf₁)
vf₂ = vf₁ - 3.9
vf₂ = vf₁ - 3.9 Equation (2)
We replace Equation (2) in the Equation (1)
2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*( vf₁ - 3.9)
2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)* (vf₁) -(0.345)( 3.9)
2.532 + 1.3455 = (0.565)*vf₁
3.8775 = (0.565)*vf₁
vf₁ = (3.8775) / (0.565)
vf₁ = 6.86 m/s, to the right
We replace vf₁ = 6.86 m/s in the Equation (2)
vf₂ = 6.86 - 3.9
vf₂ = 2.96 m/s, to the right
Answer:
Distance = 30m
Displacement = 6m W
Explanation:
Given the following:
Movement 1 = 18m W
Movement 2 = 12m E
Diatance is a scalar quantity with only magnitude and no direction. That is, in Calculating the distance moved by the locomotive, the direction of travel or movement of the object is not considered. It only measures the total amount of movement made during the Time of motion.
Therefore, total distance traveled equals :
Movement 1 + movement 2
18m + 12m = 30m
B) Displacement also measures the movement made by an object. However, Displacement is a vector quantity and therefore, considers both magnitude and direction of travel of the object. Therefore, it measures the overall change in position of the object from its starting position.
Therefore, Displacement of the locomotive equals:
18m W - 12m E = 6m E
