Answer:
The final velocity of cart 1 is 3m/s
Explanation:
From principle of conservation of linear momentum, which states that sum of the momentum before collision is equal to the sum of the momentum after collision.
Momentum, P is given as mass x velocity.
ΔP = Δmv = m₁u₁ +m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
Assumptions:
- If the two carts are moving on frictionless track, then limiting frictional forces due to their weights are negligible.
- After the elastic collision, the two carts will move separately with different velocity
u₁ + u₂ = v₁ + v₂;
where;
u₁ and u₂ are the initial velocity for cart 1 and cart 2 respectively
v₁ and v₂ are the final velocity for cart 1 and cart 2 respectively
1 m/s + 5 m/s = v₁ + 3m/s
6 m/s = v₁ + 3m/s
v₁ = 6 m/s - 3m/s = 3m/s
Therefore, the final velocity of cart 1 is 3m/s
This depends entirely on the type of transformation of energy that is taking place, mechanical to thermal, thermal to mechanical, etc. But energy is always conserved, although it may take a different form.
Answers: 1) 3 kg m²
2) 2.88 kg m²
Explanation: <u> </u><u>Question 1</u>
I = m(r)²+ M(r)²
I = 1.2 kg × (1 m )² +1.8 kg ×(1 m )²
∴ I = 3 kg m²
<u> </u><u>Question 2 </u>
ACCORDING TO THE DIAGRAM DRAWN FOR QUESTION 2
we have to decide where the center of gravity (G) lies and obviously it should lie somewhere near to the greater mass.<em> (which is 1.8 kg). S</em>ince we don't know the distance from center of gravity(G) to the mass (1.8 kg) we'll take it as 'x' and solve!!
<u>moments around 'G' </u>
F₁ d ₁ = F₂ d ₂
12 (2-X) = 18 (X)
24 -12 X =18 X
∴ X = 0.8 m
∴ ( 2 - x ) = 1.2 m
∴ Moment of inertia (I) going through the center of mass of two masses,
⇒ I = m (r)² +M (r)²
⇒ I = 1.2 × (1.2)² + 1.8 × (0.8)²
⇒ I = 1.2 × 1.44 + 1.8 × 0.64
⇒ I = 1.728 + 1.152
⇒ ∴ I = 2.88 kg m²
∴ THE QUESTION IS SOLVED !!!
