Answer:
speed of car after collision, v2 =16.1 m/s and of the truck, v1 = 4.6 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
mass of truck M = 1370 kg
speed of truck = 12.0 m/s
mass of car m = 593 kg
collision is elastic therefore,
Applying law of momentum conservation we have
momentum before collision = momentum after collision
1370×12 + 0( initially car is at rest) = 1370×v1+ 593×v2 ....(i)
Also for a collision to be elastic,
velocity of approach = velocity of separation
12 -0 = v2-v1 ....(ii)
using (i) and (ii) we have
So speed of car after collision, v2 =16.1 m/s and of the truck, v1 = 4.6 m/s
Answer:
(a) T= 38.4 N
(b) m= 26.67 kg
Explanation:
We apply Newton's second law:
∑F = m*a (Formula 1)
∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)
m : mass in kilograms (kg)
a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)
Kinematics
d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² (Formula 2)
d:displacement in meters (m)
t : time in seconds (s)
v₀: initial speed in m/s
vf: final speed in m/s
a: acceleration in m/s²
v₀=0, d=18 m , t=5 s
We apply the formula 2 to calculate the accelerations of the blocks:
d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²
18= 0+ (1/2)*a*(5)²
a= (2*18) / ( 25) = 1.44 m/s²
to the right
We apply Newton's second law to the block A
∑Fx = m*ax
60-T = 15*1.44
60 - 15*1.44 = T
T = 38.4 N
We apply Newton's second law to the block B
∑Fx = m*ax
T = m*ax
38.4 = m*1.44
m= (38.4) / (1.44)
m = 26.67 kg
Answer:
1.28 m
Explanation:
As shown in the diagram attached,
According to the principle of moment,
For a body at equilibrium,
Sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment.
Taking moment about the pivot,
W₁(1.6)+W(0.133) = W₂(x)............... Equation 1
Where W₁ = Weight of the first child, Wₓ = Weight of the seesaw, W₂ = weight of the second child, x = distance of the second child from the pivot.
But,
W = mg
Where g = 9.8 m/s², m = mass of the body
Therefore,
W₁ = 26×9.8 = 254.8 N,
Wₓ = 18×9.8 = 176.4 N
W₂ = 34.4×9.8 = 337.12 N
Substitute these values into equation 1
(254.8×1.6)+(176.4×0.133) = 337.12(x)
407.68+23.4612 = 337.12x
337.12x = 431.1412
x = 431.1412/337.12
x = 1.2789
x ≈ 1.28 m
Acceleration formulae is:
a=Fnet/mass
According to the question
a=7500N/1500kg
a=5m/s sq.
