Answer:

(a) the final velocity of the cart is 0.857 m/s

(b) the impulse experienced by the package is 21.43 kg.m/s

(c) the fraction of the initial energy lost is 0.71

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the package, m₁ = 10 kg

mass of the cart, m₂ = 25 kg

initial velocity of the package, u₁ = 3 m/s

initial velocity of the cart, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the cart = v

(a) Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine common final velocity for ineleastic collision;

m₁u₁  + m₂u₂ = v(m₁  +  m₂)

10 x 3   + 25 x 0   = v(10  +  25)

30  = 35v

v = 30 / 35

v = 0.857 m/s

(b) the impulse experienced by the package;

The impulse = change in momentum of the package

J = ΔP = m₁v - m₁u₁

J = m₁(v - u₁)

J = 10(0.857 - 3)

J = -21.43 kg.m/s

the magnitude of the impulse experienced by the package = 21.43 kg.m/s

(c)

the initial kinetic energy of the package is calculated as;

K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} mu_1^2\\\\K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times (3)^2\\\\K.E_i = 45 \ J\\\\

the final kinetic energy of the package;

K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} (m_1 + m_2)v^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} \times (10 + 25) \times 0.857^2\\\\K.E_f = 12.85 \ J

the fraction of the initial energy lost;

= \frac{\Delta K.E}{K.E_i} = \frac{45 -12.85}{45} = 0.71

The tension in cable da has a magnitude of tda=6.27 lb. find the cartesian components of tension tda, which is directed from d t
Oliga [24]

Complete Question

The Complete Question is attached below

We have that the Cartesian components of tension T_{da} is

T_{DA}=-4.433i-3.49j+2.735k

From the Question we are told that

M_{da}=6.27 lb\\\\w=9.50ft\\\\d=6.60ft\\\\h=4.50ft

\vec {DA}=-4.7i-3.7j+2.9k)ft

\vec {DB}=-1.9i-3.7j+1.9k)ft\\\\\vec {DC}=-1.9i+5.8j-1.6k)ft

Generally the equation for T_{DA}  is mathematically given as

T_{DA}=\phi_{DA}* M_{da}

Where

\phi_{DA}=\frac{-4.7i-3.7j+2.9k}{(-4.7)^2+(-3.7)^2+(2.9)^2}\\\\\phi_{DA}=\frac{-4.7i-3.7j+2.9k}{6.65}

Therefore

T_{DA}=\phi_{DA}* M_{da}

T_{DA}=\frac{-4.7i-3.7j+2.9k}{6.65}* 6.27

T_{DA}=-4.433i-3.49j+2.735k

What is the force applied to a baseball that has a mass of 142kg and has a acceleration of 30m/s to the power of 2
aev [14]
  • Mass=m=142kg
  • Acceleration=a=30m/s
  • Force=F

Using Newton's second law

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow F=ma

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow F=142(30)

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow F=4260N

What is atomic theory and how has it changed over time?
vazorg [7]
<span>In chemistry and physics, the atomic theory explains how our understanding of the atom has changed over time. Atoms were once thought to be the smallest pieces of matter. The first idea of the atom came from the Greek philosopher Democritus. Hope I helped!!</span>
