Answer:
The maximum speed of sonic at the bottom of the hill is equal to 19.85m/s and the spring constant of the spring is equal to (497.4xmass of sonic) N/m
Energy approach has been used to sole the problem.
The points of interest for the analysis of the problem are point 1 the top of the hill and point 2 the bottom of the hill just before hitting the spring
The maximum velocity of sonic is independent of the his mass or the geometry. It is only depends on the vertical distance involved
Explanation:
The step by step solution to the problem can be found in the attachment below. The principle of energy conservation has been applied to solve the problem. This means that if energy disappears in one form it will appear in another.
As in this problem, the potential and kinetic energy at the top of the hill were converted to only kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill. This kinetic energy too got converted into elastic potential energy .
x = compression of the spring = 0.89
Answer:
a) &
b)
c)
Explanation:
Given:
mass of the book,
combined mass of the student and the skateboard,
initial velocity of the book,
angle of projection of the book from the horizontal,
a)
velocity of the student before throwing the book:
Since the student is initially at rest and no net force acts on the student so it remains in rest according to the Newton's first law of motion.
where:
initial velocity of the student
velocity of the student after throwing the book:
Since the student applies a force on the book while throwing it and the student standing on the skate will an elastic collision like situation on throwing the book.
where:
final velcotiy of the student after throwing the book
b)
c)
Since there is no movement of the student in the vertical direction, so the total momentum transfer to the earth will be equal to the momentum of the book in vertical direction.
