Answer:
The heavier piece acquired 2800 J kinetic energy
Explanation:
From the principle of conservation of linear momentum:
0 = M₁v₁ - M₂v₂
M₁v₁ = M₂v₂
let the second piece be the heavier mass, then
M₁v₁ = (2M₁)v₂
v₁ = 2v₂ and v₂ = ¹/₂ v₁
From the principle of conservation of kinetic energy:
¹/₂ K.E₁ + ¹/₂ K.E₂ = 8400 J
¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₂ (2M₁)(¹/₂v₁)² = 8400
¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₄M₁(v₁)² = 8400
K.E₁ + ¹/₂K.E₁ = 8400
Now, we determine K.E₁ and note that K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁
1.5 K.E₁ = 8400
K.E₁ = 8400/1.5
K.E₁ = 5600 J
K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁ = 0.5*5600 J = 2800 J
Therefore, the heavier piece acquired 2800 J kinetic energy
For vertical motion, use the following kinematics equation:
H(t) = X + Vt + 0.5At²
H(t) is the height of the ball at any point in time t for t ≥ 0s
X is the initial height
V is the initial vertical velocity
A is the constant vertical acceleration
Given values:
X = 1.4m
V = 0m/s (starting from free fall)
A = -9.81m/s² (downward acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface)
Plug in these values to get H(t):
H(t) = 1.4 + 0t - 4.905t²
H(t) = 1.4 - 4.905t²
We want to calculate when the ball hits the ground, i.e. find a time t when H(t) = 0m, so let us substitute H(t) = 0 into the equation and solve for t:
1.4 - 4.905t² = 0
4.905t² = 1.4
t² = 0.2854
t = ±0.5342s
Reject t = -0.5342s because this doesn't make sense within the context of the problem (we only let t ≥ 0s for the ball's motion H(t))
t = 0.53s
Answer:
= 7.07 m
Explanation:
The Tarzan reaches bottom of swing after descending 2.5 m,
change in his potential energy equals his kinetic energy at bottom of swing
m g h = (1/2) m v² ,
hence speed v of Tarzan at bottom of swing is given as
v = ( 2 g h )1/2
= ( 2 × 9.8 × 2.5 )1/2
= 7 m/s
At the bottom of swing, if the vine breaks, then he is moving with horizontal velocity 7 m/s in gravitational field.
If vertical distance from ground to bottom of swing is 5 m, then time t for Tarzan to reach ground is given by
S = (1/2)g t2 or t = (2S/g)1/2
= ( 2 × 5 / 9.8 )1/2
= 1.01 s
Horizontal distance traveled by Tarzan = 1.01 × 7
= 7.07 m
