A stone is dropped att=0. A second stone, with twice the mass of the first, is dropped from the same point atrole="math" localid="1654342252844" t=100ms. (a) How far below the release point is the centre of mass of the two stones att=300ms? (Neither stone has yet reached the ground.) (b) How fast is the centre of mass of the two stone systems moving at that time?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Centre of mass of two stones att=300msis0.28m.

  2. The velocity of the center of those two stones att=300msis 2.3m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

First stone is dropped at,t=0sec

Second stone is dropped at,t=100ms

Mass of second stone is twice the mass of first stone.

02

Understanding the concept of center of mass

For a system of particles, the whole mass of the system is concentrated at the center of mass of the system.

The expression for the coordinates of the center of mass are given as:

r鈬赌com=1Mi=1nmiri 鈥 (i)

Here,Mis the total mass,miis the individual mass of ith particle andriis the coordinates of ith particle.

The expression for kinematic equations of motion in vertical direction are given as:

localid="1654344116642" v=v0+gt 鈥 (ii)

y=v0t+12gt2 鈥 (iii)

Here,v0is the initial velocity,vis the final velocity,sis the distance,ais the acceleration andtis the time.

03

(a) Determination of the centre of mass of two stones at

The initial velocity for both the stones is zero.

Using equation (iii), the height of first stone is,

y1=v0t+12gt21=0+12(9.8m/s2)(0.3s)2 =0.441m

Since the second stone is dropped after 100 ms, thent2=0.2s

Using equation (iii), the height of second stone is,

y2=v0t+12gt22=0+12(9.8m/s2)(0.2s)2=0.196m

Now, using equation (i), the center of mass of two stones is,

ycom=m1y1+m2y2m1+m2=m1y1+2m1y2m1+2m1=(y1+2y2)3

Substitute the values in the above expression.

role="math" localid="1654594305615" ycom=0.441m+20.196m3=0.277m0.28m

Thus, the center of mass of two stones att=300msis0.28ms.

04

(b) Determination of the velocity of Centre of mass of those two stones att=300ms

Using equation (ii), the velocity of first stone is,

v1=v01+gt=0+(9.8m/s2)(0.3s)=2.94m/s

Using equation (ii), the velocity of second stone is,

v2=v02+gt=0+(9.8m/s2)(0.2s)=1.96m/s

Now, by using center of mass formula we get

vcom=(m1v1+m2v2)m1+m2=v1+2v23=(2.94)+2(1.96)3=2.287m/s=2.3m/s

Thus, the velocity of the center of mass is2.3m/s.

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?

A cue stick strikes a stationary pool ball, with an average force of 32 N over a time of 14 ms. If the ball has mass 0.20 kg, what speed does it have just after impact?

Basilisk lizards can run across the top of a water surface (Figure 9-52). With each step, a lizard first slaps its foot against the water and then pushes it down into the water rapidly enough to form an air cavity around the top of the foot. To avoid having to pull the foot back up against water drag in order to complete the step, the lizard withdraws the foot before water can flow into the air cavity. If the lizard is not to sink, the average upward impulse on the lizard during this full action of slap, downward push, and withdrawal must match the downward impulse due to the gravitational force. Suppose the mass of a basilisk lizard is 9.00 g, the mass of each foot is 3.00 g , the speed of a foot as it slaps the water is 1.50 m/s , and the time for a single step is 0.600 s .(a) What is the magnitude of the impulse on the lizard during the slap? (Assume this impulse is directly upward.) (b) During the 0.600 sduration of a step, what is the downward impulse on the lizard due to the gravitational force? (c) Which action, the slap or the push, provides the primary support for the lizard, or are they approximately equal in their support?
