Answer:
inelastic collision.
Explanation:
An elastic collision consists in a collision in wich the bodies implied bounce off. Furthermore, the momentum of the bodies is conserved.
In as inelastic collision the momentum is not conserved, and is possible that the bodies implied in the collision stay joint after the collision.
In this case yo have that both bumper car and truck stayed joint after the collision. Hence, this situation is an inelastic collision.
Answer:
Explanation:
Moment of inertia of the metal rod pivoted in the middle
= M l² / 12
If the spring is compressed by small distance x twisting the rod by angle θ
restoring force by spring
= k x
moment of torque about axis
= k x l /2
= k θ( l /2 )² ( x / .5 l = θ )
=
moment of torque = moment of inertia of rod x angular acceleration
k θ( l /2 )² = M l² / 12 d²θ/dt²
d²θ/dt² = 3 k/M θ
acceleration = ω² θ
ω² = 3 k/M
ω = √ 3 k / M
