A skater is using very low friction rollerblades. A friend throws a Frisbee at her, on the straight line along which she is coas

ting. Describe each of the following events as an elastic, an inelastic, or a perfectly inelastic collision between the skater and the Frisbee.
Required:
a. She catches the Frisbee and holds it.
b. She tries to catch the Frisbee, but it bounces off her hands and falls to the ground in front of her.
c. She catches the Frisbee and immediately throws it back with the same speed (relative to the ground) to her friend.

Answer:

a)  perfectly inelastic,  b)  collision is inelastic,  c)   elastic  

Explanation:

In this exercise, it is asked to identify what type of shock occurs between the skater and the frisbee, for this we must define a system formed by the skater and the fribee, so that the forces during the crash have been internal and the amount of movement is preserved

Initial instant. Before the skater touches the frisbee

    p₀ = M v₁ + m v₂

where M and m are the masses of the skater and frisbee, respectively

for the final moment they give us several possibilities, in all case the moment is conserved

       p₀ = p_{f}

case a)

Final instant. grabs the frisbee and holds it

    p_{f} = (M + m) v '

     p₀ = p_{f}

We can see that this shock is perfectly inelastic, it holds the fressbee

case b)

final instant.

This case is similar to the previous one, but the final speed of fresbee is zero, therefore this collision is inelastic and the kinetic energy is not conserved.

case c)

final instant. Grab the fressbee and resend it

      p_{f} = M v_{1f} + m v_{2f}

this is an elastic Shock since the equivalent of a rebound of the fressbee, the kinetic energy is conserved.

A uniform, 4.5 kg, square, solid wooden gate 2.0 mm on each side hangs vertically from a frictionless pivot at the center of its
True [87]

Answer:

The angular velocity is  w = 1.43\  rad/sec

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass of wooden gate  is m_g = 4.5 kg

    The  length of side is  L = 2 m

    The mass of the raven is  m_r = 1.2 kg

     The initial speed of the raven is u_r = 5.0m/s

     The final speed of the raven is   v_r = 1.5 m/s

From the law of  conservation of angular momentum we express this question mathematically as

       Total initial angular momentum  of both the Raven and  the Gate =  The Final angular momentum of both the Raven and the Gate  

The initial angular momentum of the Raven is m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2}

Note: the length is half because the Raven hit the gate at the mid point

The initial angular momentum of the Gate is  zero

Note: This above is the generally formula for angular momentum of  square objects

  The final angular velocity  of the Raven is  m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2}

   The  final angular velocity of the Gate  is   \frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w

Substituting this formula

  m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2}  =   \frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w + m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2}

  \frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w   =    m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2} -   m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2}

  \frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w   =    m_r *  \frac{L}{2} * [u_r - v_r]

Where w is the angular velocity

     Substituting value  

   \frac{1}{3} (4.5)(2)^2  w   =    1.2 *  \frac{2}{2} * [5 - 1.5]

     6w = 4.2

       w = \frac{6}{4.2}

            w = 1.43\  rad/sec
