Two blocks of masses 3.0 kg and 5.0 kg are connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities t

oward each other such that the 3.0 kg block travels initially at 1.2 m/s toward the center of mass, which remains at rest. What is the initial speed of the other block?

Answer:

-0.7 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of first block = m1 =3.0 kg

Mass of second block = m2= 5.0 kg

Velocity of first block = V1= 1.2 m/s

Velocity of second block = V2 = ?

Momentum of Center of mass MVcom  is sum of both blocks momentum and is given by

MVcom= m1v1+m2v2

Where

M= mass of center of mass

Vcom= Velocity of center of mass=0 m/s (because center of mass is at rest , so Vcom = 0 m.sec)

Putting values, we get;

0= 3×1.2+5v2

==> v2=  3.6/5= - 0.7 m/s

-ve sign indicates that block 2 is moving in opposite direction of block 1

You're driving in a car at 50 km/h and bump into a car ahead traveling at 48 km/h in the same direction. the speed of impact is
salantis [7]

To solve this problem, we must remember about the law of conservation of momentum. The initial momentum mist be equal to the final momentum, that is:

m1 v1 + m2 v2 = (m1 + m2) v’

where v’ is the speed of impact

Since we are not given the masses of each car m1 and m2, so let us assume that they are equal, such that:

m1 = m2 = m

Which makes the equation:

m v1 + m v2 = (2 m) v’

Cancelling m and substituting the v values:

50 + 48 = 2 v’

2 v’ = 98

v ‘ = 49 km/h

 

<span>The speed of impact is 49 km/h.</span>

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

T = 1.2 s

T = 15.1 m = 15 m

Explanation:

This is a case of projectile motion:

TOTAL TIME OF FLIGHT:

The formula for total time of flight in projectile motion is:

T = 2 V₀ Sinθ/g

where,

T = Total Time of Flight = ?

V₀ = Launch Speed = 13.9 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 25°

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

T = (2)(13.9 m/s)(Sin 25°)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>T = 1.2 s</u>

<u></u>

RANGE OF BALL:

The formula for range in projectile motion is:

R = V₀² Sin2θ/g

where,

R = Horizontal Distance Covered by ball = ?

Therefore,

T = (13.9 m/s)²(Sin 2*25°)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>T = 15.1 m = 15 m</u>
