Solution :
Let
kg
m/s
Let
and
are the speeds of the disk
and
after the collision.
So applying conservation of momentum in the y-direction,





Therefore, the disk 2 have greater velocity and hence more kinetic energy after the collision.
Now applying conservation of momentum in the x-direction,




m/s
So, 
= 4.33 m/s
Therefore, speed of the disk 2 after collision is 4.33 m/s
Explanation:
There's not enough information in the problem to solve it. We need to know either the initial speed of the lorry, or the time it takes to stop.
For example, if we assume the initial speed of the lorry is 25 m/s, then we can find the rate of deceleration:
v² = v₀² + 2aΔx
(0 m/s)² = (25 m/s)² + 2a (50 m)
a = -6.25 m/s²
We can then use Newton's second law to find the force:
F = ma
F = (7520 kg) (-6.25 m/s²)
F = -47000 N
Muscles supply the force. They exert force by getting shorter (contracting).
A muscle can't get longer by itself. There needs to be another muscle
pulling in the opposite direction.
Assuming all the substances are already at the temperature that is their melting point, we only need to worry about the heat required to change state, not the heat required to change temperature.
No calculations necessary for this question - just look at the latent heat of fusion. The higher this value, the more heat required per unit mass of the substance to melt it. Of the four answer options, aluminum has the highest value and therefore will take the most heat to melt the same mass.
Answer:
w = w₀ M / (M + 2m)
Explanation:
This exercise can be solved using the concepts of conservation of angular momentum
L = I w
Let's write in angular momentum in two points
Initial. Before impact
L₀ = I w₀
Final. After the rock has stuck
= I w + (m r²) w
The system is formed by the disk and the rock, so that the forces and moments during the crash are internal and the angular momentum is preserved
L₀ = 
I w₀ = (I + m r²) w
w = w₀ I / (I + m r²)
The roundabout is a disk so its moment of inertia is
I = ½ M r²
w = w₀ ½ Mr² / (½ M r² + mr²)
w = w₀ ½ M / (½ M + m)
w = w₀ ½ M2 / (M + 2m)
w = w₀ M / (M + 2m)
