Given that,
Mass of trackler, m₁ = 100 kg
Speed of trackler, u₁ = 2.6 m/s
Mass of halfback, m₂ = 92 kg
Speed of halfback, u₂ = -5 m/s (direction is opposite)
To find,
Mutual speed immediately after the collision.
Solution,
The momentum of the system remains conserved in this case. Let v is the mutual speed after the collision. Using conservation of momentum as :
So, the mutual speed immediately after the collision is 1.04 m/s but in opposite direction.
Answer:
581 kJ, work was done by the system
Explanation:
According to the first law of thermodynamics:
where
is the change in internal energy of the system
Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released)
W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding)
In this problem,
Therefore the work done by the system is
And the positive sign means the work is done BY the system.
