At t=0, a block A of mass 8 kg and block B of mass 16 kg are both at position x=0 . Block A is at rest, and block B is moving at

a constant velocity of 10 m/s in the positive x-direction. At t=3 s, the center of mass of the two objects is at the position x=

The center of mass of the two objects is the average position of the parts of the two object system

The center of mass of block <em>A</em>, and block <em>B</em>  after displacement of block <em>B</em> is at <u>20 m from block </u><u><em>A</em></u>

<em />

Reason:

The given parameters are;

The position of block A and block B at t = 0 is x = 0

The mass of block A, m₁ = 8 kg

Mass of block B, m₂ = 16 kg

Speed of block <em>A</em> = 0 m/s

Speed of block <em>B</em>, v₂ = 10 m/s

Location of the center of mass of the two object at t = 3 s; Required

Solution;

The location of block <em>A</em>, after 3 s is x₁ = 0 (block A is at rest)

The location of block <em>B</em>, = v₂ × t

The location of block <em>B</em>, after 3 s is x₂ = 10 m/s × 3 s = 30 m

The center of mass of two masses are given as follows;

x_{cm} = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot x_1 +m_2\cdot x_2}{m_1 + m_2}

x_{cm} = \dfrac{8  \times0 + 16 \times  30}{8 + 16} = 20

The center of mass of the two objects is at at the position x = <u>20 m</u> (from block <em>A</em>)

A 10kg sphere hits a stationary 8kg sphere. After the collision the 8kg sphere moves off in the positive direction at 4m/s. If t
Bumek [7]

M = mass of the first sphere = 10 kg

m = mass of the second sphere = 8 kg

V = initial velocity of the first sphere before collision = 10 m/s

v = initial velocity of the second sphere before collision = 0 m/s

V' = final velocity of the first sphere after collision = ?

v' = final velocity of the second sphere after collision = 4 m/s

using conservation of momentum

M V + m v = M V' + m v'

(10) (10) + (8) (0) = (10) V' + (8) (4)

100 = (10) V' + 32

(10) V' = 68

V' = 6.8 m/s

A soccer player kicks a soccer ball initially at rest setting it in motion at a velocity of 30 m/s. If the ball has a mass of 0.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

 F= 600 N

Explanation:

Given that

Initial velocity ,u= 0 m/s

Final velocity ,v= 30 m/s

mass ,m = 0.5 kg

time ,t= 0.025 s

The change in the linear momentum is given as

ΔP= m (v - u)

ΔP= 0.5 ( 30 - 0 ) kg.m/s

ΔP= 15 kg.m/s

We know that from second law of Newtons

F=\dfrac{dP}{dt}

F=\dfrac{\Delta P}{t}

Now by putting the values

F=\dfrac{15}{0.025}\ N

F= 600 N
