Chapter 11: Q. 44 (page 289)

Air-track gliders with masses 300g,400g,and200gare lined up and held in place with lightweight springs compressed between them. All three are released at once. The 200gglider flies off to the right while the300g glider goes left. Their position-versus-time graphs, as measured by motion detectors, are shown in FIGURE P11.44. What are the direction (right or left) and speed of the 400 g glider that was in the middle?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The velocity of400gglider is0.0425m/s

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

The plot of position v/s time includes the expression for different gliders.

02

Step 2. Predicting the velocity

In the plot of position v/s time the slope gives the value of velocity,

Hence the velocity of glider 1 with mass 200gis 0.53m/sand that of glider 2 is-0.41m/s

03

Step 3. Applying the conservation principle

On the application of law of conservation of momentum we have,

pi=pfm1v1+m2v2+m3v3=00.2脳0.53+0.3脳(-0.41)+0.4脳v3=00.106-0.123+0.4v3=00.4v3=0.017v3=0.0425m/s

A 30ton rail car and a 90ton rail car, initially at rest, are connected together with a giant but massless compressed spring between them. When released, the 30ton car is pushed away at a speed of 4.0m/srelative to the 90 ton car. What is the speed of the 30 ton car relative to the ground?

A 1000 kg cart is rolling to the right at 5.0 m/s. A 70 kg man is standing on the right end of the cart. What is the speed of the cart if the man suddenly starts running to the left with a speed of 10 m/s relative to the cart?

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular to each other, at speed vo. The third piece has twice the mass as the other two. What are the speed and direction of the third piece? Give the direction as an angle east of north

Two particles collide, one of which was initially moving and the other initially at rest.

a. Is it possible for both particles to be at rest after the collision? Give an example in which this happens, or explain why it can鈥檛 happen.

b. Is it possible for one particle to be at rest after the collision? Give an example in which this happens, or explain why it can鈥檛 happen.

Ann (mass 50kg) is standing at the left end of a 15mlong, 500kgcart that has frictionless wheels and rolls on a frictionless track. Initially, both Ann and the cart are at rest. Suddenly, Ann starts running along with the cart at a speed of 5.0m/srelative to the cart. How far will Ann have run relative to the ground when she reaches the right end of the cart?
