ks loose and falls. (a) How long does it take for the bolt to fall to the elevator floor? What is the speed of the bolt just as it hits the elevator floor (b) according to an observer in the elevator? (c) According to an observer standing on one of the floor landings of the building? (d) According to the observer in part (c), what distance did the bolt travel between the ceiling and the floor of the elevator?

Answer:

a) t = 0.782

b) v_b/el = -7.67 m/s

c) v_b/e = - 5.17 m/s

d) y_b/e = 1.04 m down-wads

Explanation:

Given:

- initial position of bolt y_b,i = 3.0 m

- initial velocity of bolt v_b,i = 2.50 m/s

- constant velocity of elevator v_e = 2.50 m/s

- acceleration of free fall for bolt a = 9.81 m/s^2

Find

- (a) How long does it take for the bolt to fall to the elevator floor? What is the speed of the bolt just as it hits the elevator floor

- (b) according to an observer in the elevator?

- (c) According to an observer standing on one of the floor landings of the building?

- (d) According to the observer in part (c), what distance did the bolt travel between the ceiling and the floor of the elevator?

Solution:

- The position of bolt y_b is given by kinematic equation of motion:

y_b = 3.0 + 2.5*t +0.5*9.81*t^2

- position of floor with constant upward speed is:

y_f = 2.50*t

- When bolt hits the floor they have same position:

3.0 + 2.5*t +0.5*9.81*t^2 = 2.50*t

4.905*t^2 = 3.0

t = sqrt(3/4.905) = 0.782 s

- velocity of the bolt relative to earth is:

v_b/e = 2.50 - 9.81*0.782

v_b/e = -5.17 m/s

- Hence, relative to observer in elevator:

v_b/el = -5.17 - 2.5

v_b/el = -7.67 m/s

- Relative to earth the distance traveled by bolt is:

y_b/e = 2.5 - 0.5*9.81*(0.782)^2

y_b/e = -1.04 m (downwards)

A small, 300 g cart is moving at 1.20 m/s on an air track when it collides with a larger, 2.00 kg cart at rest?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The speed of the large cart after collision is 0.301 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the cart, $m_1 = 300\ g = 0.3\ kg$

Initial speed of the cart, $u_1=1.2\ m/s$

Mass of the larger cart, $m_2 = 2\ kg$

Initial speed of the larger cart, $u_2=0$

After the collision,

Final speed of the smaller cart, $v_1=-0.81\ m/s$ (as its recolis)

To find,

The speed of the large cart after collision.

Solution,

Let $v_2$ is the speed of the large cart after collision. It can be calculated using conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1=m_2v_2$

$v_2=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1}{m_2}$

$v_2=\dfrac{0.3\times 1.2+0-0.3\times (-0.81)}{2}$

$v_2=0.301\ m/s$

So, the speed of the large cart after collision is 0.301 m/s.

Can someone help me on question 1?

grigory [225]

In question 1, both of your answers are correct, but I don't understand the process you went through in the 'a' part.

R = v/I . That's a correct formula.
But it doesn't help you in this form, because you need to find I
So turn it into a helpful form ... Solve it for I, so it says I=something.

R= v/I

Multiply each side by I : R I = V.

Now divide each side by R: I= V/R .
THERE'S the equation you want.

I = V / R

I = 1.5 / 10 = 0.15 Amp.

That's slightly cleaner, although I don't really understand what you were actually thinking in that part.

But again ... You answered both parts correctly, and your process in b is fine.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 0.10 km high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 65 m horizontally

stepladder [879]

Answer: well the time it takes to fall 100m is the same time it takes to travel 65m horizontally.

The time to fall vertically, t is sqrt(2d/g). [this comes from d = 1/2at^2]

so t = sqrt(2*100/9.8) = 4.52s.

The vertical speed at that time is g*t = 9.8*4.52 = 44.3m/s

The horizontal speed is the horizontal distance over the same 4.52s, = 65/4.52 = 14.4m/s.

so the final velocity is = sqrt(44.3^2 + 14.4^2) = 46.6m/s

Explanation: yes

Block with m = 300 grams oscillates at the end of a linear spring with k = 6.5 N/m. (assume this is a top-down view and the bloc

masha68 [24]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the block, m = 300 g = 0.3 kg

Linear spring constant, k = 6.5 N/m

(a) Let T is the period of the block's motion. It is given by :

$T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}$

where

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$ = angular frequency

Also, $\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

$T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}}$

$T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\sqrt{\dfrac{6.5}{0.3}}}$

T = 1.34 seconds

(b) The maximum acceleration of the block is, $a_{max}=2\ m/s^2$

The maximum acceleration is given by :

$a_{max}=\omega^2A$

A is the amplitude of the motion,

$A=\dfrac{a_{max}}{\omega^2}$

$A=\dfrac{a_{max}}{(\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}})^2}$

$A=\dfrac{ma_{max}}{k}$

$A=\dfrac{0.3\times 2}{6.5}$

A = 0.09 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.
