Chapter 11: Q 77 (page 291)

(3000kg)vfx=(2000kg)(5.0m/s)+(1000kg)(-4.0m/s)

a. Write a realistic problem for which this is the correct equation(s).

b. Finish the solution of the problem, including a pictorial representation.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Car of mass 2000 kg is moving towards right with speed 5.0 m/s, then it collides with 1000 kg car that moves towards left with the speed of 4.0 m/s and then they moves together. Find the speed of combination after collision and its direction.

b) Speed of the combination is 2.0 m/s towards Right.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given equation is (3000 kg)vfx=(2000 kg)(5.0 m/s)+(1000 kg)(-4.0 m/s)  

We need to find out a realistic problem for which this is the correct equation and have to find out the solution including pictorial representation.

02

Step 2. Expressing the realistic problem of the given equation.  

There are two masses that become together after the collision.

So the equation will be :

"Car of mass 2000 kg is moving towards right with speed 5.0 m/s, then it collides with 1000 kg car that moves towards left with the speed of 4.0 m/s and then they moves together. Find the speed of combination after collision and its direction"

03

Step 3. Using the law of conservation of momentum to find the speed of the combination and its direction.

(3000kg)vf.x=(2000kg)(5m/s)+(1000kg)(-4m/s)vf.x=(10000-4000)kgm/s3000kgvf.x=(6000)kgm/s3000kg=2.0m/s

(Positive value means towards right)

A package of mass m is released from rest at a warehouse loading dock and slides down the 3.0m-high, frictionless chute of FIGURE EX11.25 to a waiting truck. Unfortunately, the truck driver went on a break without having removed the previous package, of mass 2m, from the bottom of the chute.

a. Suppose the packages stick together. What is their common speed after the collision?

b. Suppose the collision between the packages is perfectly elastic. To what height does the package of mass m rebound?

FIGURE EX11.6 is an incomplete momentum bar chart for a collision that lasts 10ms. What are the magnitude and direction of the average collision force exerted on the object?

Two balls of clay of known masses hang from the ceiling on massless strings of equal length. They barely touch when both hang at rest. One ball is pulled back until its string is at 45掳, then released. It swings down, collides with the second ball, and they stick together. To determine the angle to which the balls swing on the opposite side, would you invoke

(a) conservation of momentum, (b) conservation of mechanical energy, (c) both, (d) either but not both, or (e) these laws alone are not sufficient to find the angle? Explain.

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
