Answer:
Explanation:
Given
mass of car
Initial velocity of car towards east
Time taken to stop
Force exerted
change in momentum is given by impulse imparted to the car
negative Sign indicates that impulse is imparted opposite to the direction of motion
magnitude of momentum
Solution :
Given :
Mass attached to the spring = 4 kg
Mass dropped = 6 kg
Force constant = 100 N/m
Initial amplitude = 2 m
Therefore,
a).
= 10 m/s
Final velocity, v at equilibrium position, v = 5 m/s
Now,
A' = amplitude = 1.4142 m
b).
m' = 2m
Hence,
c).
Therefore, factor
Thus, the energy will change half times as the result of the collision.
Answer:
The mass of the object involved and the value of the gravitational acceleration
Explanation:
- Gravitational potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an object in a gravitational field due to its position with respect to the ground:
where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the heigth of the object with respect to the ground.
- Elastic potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an elastic object and it is given as:
where k is the spring constant of the elastic object, while x is the compression/stretching of the spring with respect to the equilibrium position.
As we can see from the equations, both types of energy depends on the relative position of the object/end of the spring with respect to a certain reference position (h in the first formula, x in the second formula), but gravitational potential energy also depends on m (the mass) and g (the gravitational acceleration) while the elastic energy does not.
