Answer:

a) p₂ = 1.88 kg*m/s

   θ = 273.4 º

b)  Kf = 37% of Ko

Explanation:

a)

  • Assuming no external forces acting during the collision, total momentum must be conserved.
  • Since momentum is a vector, their components (projected along two axes perpendicular each other, x- and y- in this case) must be conserved too.
  • The initial momenta of both particles are directed one along the x-axis, and the other one along the y-axis.
  • So for the particle moving along the positive x-axis, we can write the following equations for its initial momentum:

       p_{o1x} = 2.00 kg*m/s (1)

       p_{o1y} = 0 (2)

  • We can do the same for the particle moving along the positive y-axis:

        p_{o2x} = 0 (3)

        p_{o2y} = 4.00 kg*m/s (4)

  • Now, we know the value of magnitude of the final momentum p1, and the angle that makes with the positive x-axis.
  • Applying the definition of cosine and sine of an angle, we can find the x- and y- components of the final momentum of the first particle, as follows:

       p_{f1x} = 3.00 kg*m/s * cos 45 = 2.12 kg*m/s (5)

      p_{f1y} = 3.00 kg*m/s sin 45 = 2.12 kg*m/s  (6)

  • Now, the total initial momentum, along these directions, must be equal to the total final momentum.
  • We can write the equation for the x- axis as follows:

       p_{o1x} + p_{o2x} = p_{f1x} + p_{f2x}  (7)

  • We know from (3) that p₀₂ₓ = 0, and we have the values of p₀1ₓ from (1) and pf₁ₓ from (5) so we can solve (7) for pf₂ₓ, as follows:

       p_{f2x} = p_{o1x} - p_{f1x} = 2.00kg*m*/s - 2.12 kg*m/s = -0.12 kg*m/s (8)

  • Now, we can repeat exactly the same process for the y- axis, as follows:

       p_{o1y} + p_{o2y} = p_{f1y} + p_{f2y}  (9)

  • We know from (2) that p₀1y = 0, and we have the values of p₀₂y from (4) and pf₁y from (6) so we can solve (9) for pf₂y, as follows:

       p_{f2y} = p_{o1y} - p_{f1y} = 4.00kg*m*/s - 2.12 kg*m/s = 1.88 kg*m/s (10)

  • Since we have the x- and y- components of the final momentum of  the second particle, we can find its magnitude applying the Pythagorean Theorem, as follows:

       p_{f2} = \sqrt{p_{f2x} ^{2} + p_{f2y} ^{2} }  = \sqrt{(-0.12m/s)^{2} +(1.88m/s)^{2}} = 1.88 kg*m/s (11)

  • We can find the angle that this vector makes with the positive x- axis, applying the definition of tangent of an angle, as follows:

       tg \theta = \frac{p_{2fy} }{p_{2fx} } = \frac{1.88m/s}{(-0.12m/s} = -15.7 (12)

  • The angle that we are looking for is just the arc tg of (12) which measured in a counter-clockwise direction from the positive x- axis, is just 273.4º.

b)

  • Assuming that both masses are equal each other, we find that the momenta are proportional to the speeds, so we find that the relationship from the final kinetic energy and the initial one can be expressed as follows:

       \frac{K_{f}}{K_{o} } = \frac{v_{f1}^{2} + v_{f2} ^{2}}{v_{o1}^{2} + v_{o2} ^{2} } = \frac{12.5}{20} = 0.63 (13)

  • So, the final kinetic energy has lost a 37% of the initial one.

A space station of diameter 20.0 meters is turning about its axis to simulate gravity at its center rim. How fast must it rotate
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

9.89 m/s

Explanation:

d = diameter of the space station = 20.0 m

r = radius of the space station

radius of the space station is given as

r = (0.5) d

r = (0.5) (20.0)

r = 10 m

a = acceleration produced at outer rim = 9.80 m/s²

v = speed at which it rotates

acceleration is given as

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

9.80 = \frac{v^{2}}{10}

v = 9.89 m/s

A 70 kg man's arm, including the hand, can be modeled as BIO 75-cm-long uniform rod with a mass of 3.5 kg. When the man raises b
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

  Δy = 7.1 cm

Explanation:

The center of mass of a body is defined

            y_{cm} = 1 /M ∑m_{i}  y_{i}i

Where M is the total mass of the body, m mass of each part and ‘y’ height

Let's apply this equation to our case

We locate the reference system on the shoulders

The height of the arms is at its midpoint

            y = -75/2 = 37.5 cm

With arms down

            y_{cm} = 1/70 (63 y₀ - 3.5 37.5 - 3.5 37.5)

            y_{cm} = 1/70 (63 y)₀ - 7 37.5)

With arms up

          y_{cm}’= 1/70 (63 y₀ + 3.5 y + 3.5 y)

          y_{cm}’= 1/70 (63y₀ + 7 35.5)

let's subtract the two equations

        y_{cm}’ - y_{cm} = 1/70 2 (7 35.5)

         Δy = y_{cm}’ - y_{cm} = 2 7 35.5 / 70

         ΔY = 7.1 cm

"When Baby Ian is held horizontally on his back, he sometimes makes an embracing motion by arching his back, extending his legs,
Burka [1]

Answer:

Moro reflex  

Explanation:

The baby has a series of reflexes in its first months of life and they are very important for the good development of the little ones. One of them is the Moro Reflex. In this reflection, the baby spreads his arms wide, stretches his legs and extends his neck. Moro's reflex begins from birth and continues until about four months of the baby. It occurs when the baby abruptly shifts position or falls backwards or feels in an insecure position, at which time the baby makes a hug movement by arching his back, extending his legs, throwing his arms out and then bringing his arms. towards the body.
