A 10-kg sled carrying a 30-kg child glides on a horizontal, frictionless surface at a speed of 6.0 m/s toward the east. The chil

d jumps off the back of the sled, propelling it forward at 20 m/s. What was the child’s velocity in the horizontal direction relative to the ground at the instant she left the sled?

Answer:

- 1.33m/s

Explanation:

We choose the system to be the child and the sled. The surface is friction less, which means that there are no forces exerted on the system horizontally. This means that the horizontal momentum component of the system is constant and conserved.

So we can use the conservation momentum principle to find the velocity of the child just after he leaves the sled.

This is shown in the attached file.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

maximum height is y = b²/18g √ (12L/b)³

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation first we have a projectile subjected to an acceleration depends on time, so we must use the definition of acceleration to find the speed when it is at distance L, then we will use the projectile launch equations

Acceleration dependent on t

     a = dv / dt

     dv = adt

     ∫dv =∫ (b t²) dt

     v = b t³ / 3

The initial speed is zero for zero time

 

we use the definition of speed

     v = dy / dt

     dy = v dt

     ∫dy = ∫b t³ / 3 dt

     y = b/3   t⁴ / 4

     y = b/12 t⁴

we evaluate from the initial point where the height is zero for the zero time

Let's calculate the time to travel the length (y = L) of the canyon

     t = (12 y / b) ¼

     t = (12 L / b) ¼

Taking the time, we can calculate the projectile's output speed

     v = b/3  ( (12 L / b)^{3/4}

 

This is the speed of the body, which is the initial speed for the projectile launch movement. Let's calculate the highest point where the zero speed

      Vy² = v₀² - 2 g y

       0 = Vo² - 2 g y

      2 g y = v₀²

      y =  v₀²/ 2g

      y = 1/2g    [b/3 (12L / b^{3/4}) ] 2

      y = 1 / 2g [b²/9  (12L/b)^{3/2}]

      y = b²/18g √ (12L/b)³

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

a) v_{1}=\frac{x_{2}-x_{1}  }{t_{2}-t_{1}  }=\frac{(2(\frac{25}{3})-\frac{25}{3} )m}{3.9s-1.3s}  =3.2051 \frac{m}{s}

b) v_{2}=\frac{x_{3}-x_{2}  }{t_{3}-t_{2}  }=\frac{(25-2(\frac{25}{3}) )m}{5.5s-3.9s}  =5.2083 \frac{m}{s}

c) a=\frac{v_{2}-v_{1}  }{t_{2}-t_{1}  } =\frac{5.2083m/s-3.2051m/s}{5.5s-3.9s} =1.252 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Explanation:

<em><u>The knowable variables are </u></em>

d_{t}=25m

t_{1}=1.3 s

t_{2}=3.9 s

t_{3}=5.5 s

Since the three traffic signs are <u>equally spaced</u>, the <u>distance between each sign is \frac{25}{3} m</u>

a) v_{1}=\frac{x_{2}-x_{1}  }{t_{2}-t_{1}  }=\frac{(2(\frac{25}{3})-\frac{25}{3} )m}{3.9s-1.3s}  =3.2051 \frac{m}{s}

b) v_{2}=\frac{x_{3}-x_{2}  }{t_{3}-t_{2}  }=\frac{(25-2(\frac{25}{3}) )m}{5.5s-3.9s}  =5.2083 \frac{m}{s}

Since we know the velocity in two points and the time the car takes to pass the traffic signs

c) a=\frac{v_{2}-v_{1}  }{t_{2}-t_{1}  } =\frac{5.2083m/s-3.2051m/s}{5.5s-3.9s} =1.252 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

A merry-go-round with a a radius of R = 1.63 m and moment of inertia I = 196 kg-m2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

1) L = 299.88 kg-m²/s

2) L = 613.2 kg-m²/s

3) L = 499.758 kg-m²/s

4) ω₁ = 0.769 rad/s

5) Fc = 70.3686 N

6) v = 1.2535 m/s

7) ω₀ = 1.53 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

R = 1.63 m

I₀ = 196 kg-m²

ω₀ = 1.53 rad/s

m = 73 kg

v = 4.2 m/s

1) What is the magnitude of the initial angular momentum of the merry-go-round?

We use the equation

L = I₀*ω₀ = 196 kg-m²*1.53 rad/s = 299.88 kg-m²/s

2) What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the person 2 meters before she jumps on the merry-go-round?

We use the equation

L = m*v*Rp = 73 kg*4.2 m/s*2.00 m = 613.2 kg-m²/s

3) What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the person just before she jumps on to the merry-go-round?

We use the equation

L = m*v*R = 73 kg*4.2 m/s*1.63 m = 499.758 kg-m²/s

4) What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the person jumps on?

We can apply The Principle of Conservation of Angular Momentum

L in = L fin

⇒ I₀*ω₀ = I₁*ω₁

where

I₁ = I₀ + m*R²

⇒  I₀*ω₀ = (I₀ + m*R²)*ω₁

Now, we can get ω₁

⇒  ω₁ = I₀*ω₀ / (I₀ + m*R²)

⇒  ω₁ = 196 kg-m²*1.53 rad/s / (196 kg-m² + 73 kg*(1.63 m)²)

⇒  ω₁ = 0.769 rad/s

5) Once the merry-go-round travels at this new angular speed, with what force does the person need to hold on?

We have to get the centripetal force as follows

Fc = m*ω²*R  

⇒  Fc = 73 kg*(0.769 rad/s)²*1.63 m = 70.3686 N

6) Once the person gets half way around, they decide to simply let go of the merry-go-round to exit the ride.

What is the linear velocity of the person right as they leave the merry-go-round?

we can use the equation

v = ω₁*R = 0.769 rad/s*1.63 m = 1.2535 m/s

7) What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the person lets go?

ω₀ = 1.53 rad/s

It comes back to its initial angular speed
