Chapter 9: Q92P (page 254)

Two blocks of masses1.0 kgand3.0 kgare connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities toward each other such that the 1.0 kgblock travels initially at 1.7 m/stoward the center of mass, which remains at rest. What is the initial speed of the other block?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The initial speed of the other block is 0.57 m/s .

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

  1. Mass of block 1,m1=1.0kg.
  2. Mass of block 2,m2=3.0kg.
  3. The initial velocity of block 1,v1j=1.7m/s.
  4. Speed of the center of mass is, role="math" localid="1661248917282" vcom=0m/s.
02

Concept and formula used in the given question

Using the formula of conservation of the momentum, we can find the initial speed of the other block.

03

Calculation for the initial speed of the other block

The collision, in this case, is inelastic, so from the conservation of momentum theorem, we can write,

m1v1i+m2v2i=m1+m2vcom

Here v2iis the initial velocity of block 2.

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

1.0kg1.7ms+3.0kgv2i=1.0kg+3.0kg0ms1.0kg1.7ms+3.0kgv2i=0

Solving further as,

3.0kgv2i=-1.7kg路ms=-1.7kg路ms3.0kgv2i=0.567ms

Therefore, the initial speed of the other block is 0.57 m/s . Its direction is opposite to that of v1.

In Fig. 9-21, projectile particle 1 is an alpha particle and target particle 2 is an oxygen nucleus. The alpha particle is scattered at angle 胃1=64.0掳and the oxygen nucleus recoils with speed localid="1661254577203" 1.20脳105m/sand at angle 胃1=51.0掳.In atomic mass units, the mass of the alpha particle is 4.00 uand the mass of the oxygen nucleus is 16.0 u. What are the (a) final and (b) initial speeds of the alpha particle?

A 2.00kgparticle has the xycoordinates (-1.20m,0.500m). and a 4.00kgparticle has the xycoordinates (0.600m,-0.750m) . Both lie on a horizontal plane. At what (a) xand (b) ycoordinates must you place a3.00kgparticle such that center of mass of the three-particle system has the coordinates (-0.500m,-0.700m)

A75 kgman rides on a39 kgcart moving at a velocity of 2.3 m/s. He jumps off with zero horizontal velocity relative to the ground. What is the resulting change in the cart鈥檚 velocity, including sign?

Figure 9-30 shows a snapshot of block 1 as it slides along an x-axis on a frictionless floor before it undergoes an elastic collision with stationary block 2. The figure also shows three possible positions of the center of mass (com) of the two-block system at the time of the snapshot. (Point Bis halfway between the centers of the two blocks.) Is block 1 stationary, moving forward, or moving backward after the collision if the com is located in the snapshot at (a) A, (b) B, and (c) C?

鈥淩elative鈥� is an important word.In Fig. 9-72, block Lof massmL=1.00kgand block Rof mass mR=0.500kgare held in place witha compressed spring between them.When the blocks are released, the spring sends them sliding across a frictionless floor. (The spring has negligible mass and falls to the floor after the blocks leave it.) (a) If the spring gives block La release speed of 1.20 m/srelativeto the floor, how far does block R travel in the next 0.800 s? (b) If, instead, the spring gives block La release speed ofrelativeto the velocity that the spring gives block R, how far does block Rtravel in the next 0.800 s?
