As per momentum conservation we can say that Chuck and ball as a system has no external force
So here momentum of them must be conserved
now here initially if they are at rest
so we can say
now we have
now the relative velocity of the cart and ball is given as
also we can say since they are moving in opposite direction so relative speed will be
Answer:
v_{f} = 74 m/s, F = 230 N
Explanation:
We can work on this exercise using the relationship between momentum and moment
I = ∫ F dt = Δp
bold indicates vectors
we can write this equations in its components
X axis
Fₓ t = m ( -v_{xo})
Y axis
t = m (v_{yf} - v_{yo})
in this case with the ball it travels horizontally v_{yo} = 0
Let's use trigonometry to write the final velocities and the force
sin 30 = v_{yf} / vf
cos 30 = v_{xf} / vf
v_{yf} = vf sin 30
v_{xf} = vf cos 30
sin40 = F_{y} / F
F_{y} = F sin 40
cos 40 = Fₓ / F
Fₓ = F cos 40
let's substitute
F cos 40 t = m ( cos 30 - vₓ₀)
F sin 40 t = m (v_{f} sin 30-0)
we have two equations and two unknowns, so the system can be solved
F cos 40 0.1 = 0.4 (v_{f} cos 30 - 20)
F sin 40 0.1 = 0.4 v_{f} sin 30
we clear fen the second equation and subtitles in the first
F = 4 sin30 /sin40 v_{f}
F = 3.111 v_{f}
(3,111 v_{f}) cos 40 = 4 v_{f} cos 30 - 80
v_{f} (3,111 cos 40 -4 cos30) = - 80
v_{f} (- 1.0812) = - 80
v_{f} = 73.99
v_{f} = 74 m/s
now we can calculate the force
F = 3.111 73.99
F = 230 N
The answer is C. 15 meters North
Displacement is the distance and direction from the origin. If you move 20 meters North, your displacement is 20 meters North. If you move 5 meters South, you are basically moving back the way you came by 5 meters, which means you are now 15 meters North.
I hope this helped! :)
