1 answer:
Answer:
See bolded below.
Explanation:
Consider the " Before " and " After. " " Before, " this particle 1 was trying to catch up with this particle 2, and " after " particle one had collided with particle two. Take a look at the attachment below for a more detailed examination.
Here is how this will play out. Particle 1, with great velocity, will hit particle 2, which would mean that Particle 2 has less velocity than Particle 1. Now after the collision, energy is transferred to Particle 2, and while Particle 1 has now stopped in it's tracks, Particle 2 - with more energy than before - will continue as long as it has to before friction eventually brings it to a stop.
_______________________________________________________
From this we can conclude that Vf, from the picture below, must have less energy than V1, but more energy than V2 - and vice versa.

Explanation:
a)
The period of a revolution in a simple harmonic motion is the time taken for the object in motion to complete one cycle (in this case, the time taken to complete one revolution).
The graph of the problem is missing, find it in attachment.
To find the period of revolution of the book, we have to find the time between two consecutive points of the graph that have exactly the same shape, which correspond to two points in which the book is located at the same position.
The first point we take is t = 0, when the position of the book is x = 0.
Then, the next point with same shape is at t = 120 s, where the book returns at x = 0 m.
Therefore, the period is
T = 120 s - 0 s = 120 s
b)
The tangential speed of the book is given by the ratio between the distance covered during one revolution, which is the perimeter of the wheel, and the time taken, which is the period.
The perimeter of the wheel is:
where R is the radius of the wheel.
The period of revolution is:
Therefore, the tangential speed of the book is:
Answer:
x = v₀ cos θ t , y = y₀ + v₀ sin θ t - ½ g t2
Explanation:
This is a projectile launch exercise, in this case we will write the equations for the x and y axes
Let's use trigonometry to find the components of the initial velocity
sin θ = / v₀
cos θ = v₀ₓ / v₀
v_{y} = v_{oy} sin θ
v₀ₓ = vo cos θ
now let's write the equations of motion
X axis
x = v₀ₓ t
x = v₀ cos θ t
vₓ = v₀ cos θ
Y axis
y = y₀ + t - ½ g t2
y = y₀ + v₀ sin θ t - ½ g t2
v_{y} = v₀ - g t
v_{y} = v₀ sin θ - gt
= v_{oy}^2 sin² θ - 2 g y
As we can see the fundamental change is that between the horizontal launch and the inclined launch, the velocity has components
