Answer:
Motion with constant velocity of magnitude 1 m/s (uniform motion) for 4 seconds in a positive direction and then for 2 seconds uniform motion with constant velocity of magnitude 3 m/s in reverse direction .
Explanation:
The graph shows a constant velocity of 1 m/s for 4 seconds in the positive direction. After that, between 4 seconds and 6 seconds, the object reverses its motion with constant velocity of magnitude 3m/s.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
At one instant,
Center of mass is at 2m
Xcm = 2m
And velocity =5•i m/s
One of the particle is at the origin
M1=? X1 =0
The other has a mass M2=0.1kg
And it is at rest at position X2= 8m
a. Center of mass is given as
Xcm = (M1•X1 + M2•X2) / (M1+M2)
2 = (M1×0 + 0.1×8) /(M1 + 0.1)
2 = (0+ 0.8) /(M1 + 0.1)
Cross multiply
2(M1+0.1) = 0.8
2M1 + 0.2 =0.8
2M1 = 0.8-0.2
2M1 = 0.6
M1 = 0.6/2
M1 = 0.3kg
b. Total momentum, this is an inelastic collision and it momentum after collision is given as
P= (M1+M2)V
P = (0.3+0.1)×5•i
P = 0.4 × 5•i
P = 2 •i kgm/s
c. Velocity of particle at origin
Using conversation of momentum
Momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision
P(before) = M1 • V1 + M2 • V2
We are told that M2 is initially at rest, then, V2=0
So, P(before) = 0.3V1
We already got P(after) = 2 •i kgm/s in part b of the question
Then,
P(before) = P(after)
0.3V1 = 2 •i
V1 = 2/0.3 •i
V1 = 6 ⅔ •i m/s
V1 = 6.667 •i m/s
I would not agree with her since reflection and refraction happens only when waves hit an object. When, waves meet it is either it experiences constructive or destructive interference. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
