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

What forms when two continental plates collide?
Jlenok [28]
When tectonic plates collide, this is a convergent plate boundary.
When the two plates at a convergent boundary are continental, they form mountains and mountain ranges.

Hope this helps! :)

a steel ball bearing is released from a height hhh and rebounds after hitting a steel plate to a height hhh. what is true about
lbvjy [14]

In collision of the steel ball and the steel plate, the collision is an inelastic collision and there is loss in the kinetic energy.

<h3>What are collisions?</h3>

Collisions occur when two objects that are moving in the same directions or in different direction meet each other and collide.

There are two types of collisions:

  • elastic collision - the kinetic energy is conserved
  • inelastic collision - there is a loss in kinetic energy

In the collision of the steel ball and the steel plate, there is loss in the kinetic energy of the steel ball which is converted to sound energy.

In conclusion, the collision of the steel and steel plate is an inelastic collision.
