Twobodies, A and B, collide. The velocities before the collision are v→A=(15iÁåœ+30jÁåœ)m/sand v→B=(-10iÁåœ+5jÁåœ)m/s . After the collision, v→'A=-5.0iÁåœ+20jÁåœ)m/s . What are (a) the final velocity of B and (b) the change in the total kinetic energy (including sign)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Final velocity of body B after collision is (10iÁåœ+15jÁåœ)mIs.

b) Change in the total K.E of the system is -5.0x102J

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

Mass of each body is m=2.0 kg

Velocity of body A before collision isv→A=15iÁåœ+30jÁåœm/s

Velocity of body B before collision isv→B=-10iÁåœ+5jÁåœm/s

Velocity of body A before collision is v→A=-5iÁåœ+20jÁåœm/s

02

Understanding the concept of law of conservation of momentum

We can get two final velocities of body B after collision by applying the law conservation of momentum to the given system. We can easily find the magnitudes of the velocities of bodies before and after collision. Inserting these values in the formula for K.E we can find the initial and final K.E of the system. From the difference between them, we can get the change in the total K.E of the system.

Formula:

Pi=PfK.E=12mv2

03

(a) Calculation of final velocities

Conservation of linear momentum gives,

Pi=Pf

mAv→A+mBv→B=mAv→'A+mBv→'B

Inserting given values,

role="math" localid="1661249930011" 215iÁåœ+30jÁåœ+2-10iÁåœ+5jÁåœ=2-5iÁåœ+20jÁåœ+vB→v→B'=15iÁåœ+30jÁåœ+-10iÁåœ+5jÁåœ--5iÁåœ+20jÁåœv→B'=10iÁåœ+15jÁåœm/s

Final velocity of body B after collision is(10iÁåœ+15jÁåœ)m/s.

Therefore, Final velocity of body B after collision is(10iÁåœ+15jÁåœ)m/s

Let’s find the magnitude of velocities of bodies,

vA=152+302=33.54m/svB=-102+52=11.18m/svA'=-52+202=20.62m/svB'=102+152=18.03m/s

04

(b) Calculation of change in total kinetic energy

Initial K.E of the system is,

K.Ei=12mAvA2+12mAvB2=12×233.542+12×211.182=1250J~1.3×103J

K.Ef=12mAvA'2+12mBvB'2=12×222.622+12×218.032=836.75~8.0×102J

Change in the K.E is,

K.E=K.Ef-K.Ei=8.0×102-1.3×103=-5.0×102J

Hence, the Change in the total K.E of the system is-5.0×102J

Jumping up before the elevator hits. After the cable snaps and the safety system fails, an elevator cab free-falls from a height of36 m. During the collision at the bottom of the elevator shaft, a 90 kgpassenger is stopped in5.0 ms. (Assume that neither the passenger nor the cab rebounds.) What are the magnitudes of the (a) impulse and (b) What are the magnitudes of the average force on the passenger during the collision? If the passenger were to jump upward with a speed of 7.0 m/s relative to the cab floor just before the cab hits the bottom of the shaft, What are the magnitudes of the (c) impulse and (d) Average force (assuming the same stopping time)?

Figure 9-26 shows graphs of force magnitude versus time for a body involved in a collision. Rank the graphs according to the magnitude of the impulse on the body, greatest first.
