Answer
given,
mass of copper rod = 1 kg
horizontal rails = 1 m
Current (I) = 50 A
coefficient of static friction = 0.6
magnetic force acting on a current carrying wire is
F = B i L
Rod is not necessarily vertical
the normal reaction N = mg-F y
static friction f = μ_s (mg-F y )
horizontal acceleration is zero
B_w = B sinθ
B_d = B cosθ
iLB cosθ= μ_s (mg- iLB sinθ)
B = 0.1 T
Answer:
Total impulse = = Initial momentum of the car
Explanation:
Let the mass of the car be 'm' kg moving with a velocity 'v' m/s.
The final velocity of the car is 0 m/s as it is brought to rest.
Impulse is equal to the product of constant force applied to an object for a very small interval. Impulse is also calculated as the total change in the linear momentum of an object during the given time interval.
The magnitude of impulse is the absolute value of the change in momentum.
Momentum of an object is equal to the product of its mass and velocity.
So, the initial momentum of the car is given as:
The final momentum of the car is given as:
Therefore, the impulse is given as:
Hence, the magnitude of the impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest is equal to the initial momentum of the car.
