Answer:
m₁ / m₂ = 1.3
Explanation:
We can work this problem with the moment, the system is formed by the two particles
The moment is conserved, to simulate the system the particles initially move with a moment and suppose a shock where the particular that, without speed, this determines that if you center, you should be stationary, which creates a moment equal to zero
p₀o = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂
pf = 0
m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = 0
m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁
m₁ / m₂= - (-6.2) / 4.7
m₁ / m₂ = 1.3
Another way to solve this exercise is to use the mass center relationship
Xcm = 1/M (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂)
We derive from time
Vcm = 1/M (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)
As they say the velocity of the center of zero masses
0 = 1/M (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)
m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = 0
m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁
m₁ / m₂ = 1.3
Hey give us m = 9.0 g = 9.0 x 10-3 kg, and a = 10,000 "g's" = 98000 m/s/s so:F = ma = (9.0 x 10-3 kg)(98000 m/s/s) = 882 N = 880 N
