Answer:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. The total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation is 12 kg·m/s

d. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley is -12 kg·m/s

e. The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -4 m/s

Explanation:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. By the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the trolleys after separation = The total momentum of the trolleys before separation = 0

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation = Mass × Velocity = 2 kg × 6 m/s = 12 kg·m/s

d. Given that the total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero, the momentum of the 3 kg trolley is equal and opposite to the momentum of the 2 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

e. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = Mass of the 3 kg Trolley × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley

∴ The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = 3 kg × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s/(3 kg) = -4 m/s

A 1.00 kg ball traveling towards a soccer player at a velocity of 5.00 m/s rebounds off the soccer

matrenka [14]

Answer:

A) F = - 8.5 10² N, B) I = 21 N s

Explanation:

A) We can solve this problem using the relationship of momentum and momentum

I = Δp

in this case they indicate that the body rebounds, therefore the exit speed is the same in modulus, but with the opposite direction

v₀ = 8.50 m / s

v_f = -8.50 m / s

F t = m v_f -m v₀

F = $m \frac{(v_f - v_o)}{t}$

let's calculate

F = $1.00 \ \frac{(-8.5-8.5)}{2 \ 10^{-2}}$

F = - 8.5 10² N

B) let's start by calculating the speed with which the ball reaches the ground, let's use the kinematic relations

v² = v₀² - 2g (y- y₀)

as the ball falls its initial velocity is zero (vo = 0) and the height upon reaching the ground is y = 0

v = $\sqrt{2g y_o}$

calculate

v = $\sqrt{2 \ 9.8 \ 10}$

v = 14 m / s

to calculate the momentum we use

I = Δp

I = m v_f - mv₀

when it hits the ground its speed drops to zero

we substitute

I = 1.50 (0-14)

I = -21 N s

the negative sign is for the momentum that the ground on the ball, the momentum of the ball on the ground is

I = 21 N s

At a local swimming pool, the diving board is elevated h = 5.5 m above the pool's surface and overhangs the pool edge by L = 2 m

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Part b)

$t = 1.06 s$

Part c)

$L = 4.86 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

The height of the diving board is given as

$h = 5.5 m$

now the speed of the diver is given as

$v_0 = 2.7 m/s$

when the diver will jump into the water then his displacement in vertical direction is same as that of height of diving board

So we will have

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$h = 0 + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Part b)

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

plug in the values in the above equation

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2(5.5 m)}{9.81}$

$t = 1.06 s$

Part c)

Horizontal distance moved by the diver is given as

$d = v_0 t$

$d = 2.7 \times 1.06$

$d = 2.86 m$

so the distance from the edge of the pool is given as

$L = 2.86 + 2$

$L = 4.86 m$

A golfer hits a golf ball at an angle of 25.0Â° to the ground. if the golf ball covers a horizontal distance of 301.5 m, what is

kvasek [131]

<u>Answer:</u>

Maximum height reached = 35.15 meter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Projectile motion has two types of motion Horizontal and Vertical motion.

Vertical motion:

We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Considering upward vertical motion of projectile.

In this case, Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = -g $m/s^2$ and final velocity = 0 m/s.

0 = u sin θ - gt

t = u sin θ/g

Total time for vertical motion is two times time taken for upward vertical motion of projectile.

So total travel time of projectile = 2u sin θ/g

Horizontal motion:

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this case Initial velocity = horizontal component of velocity = u cos θ, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ and time taken = 2u sin θ /g

So range of projectile, $R=ucos\theta*\frac{2u sin\theta}{g} = \frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}$

Vertical motion (Maximum height reached, H) :

We have equation of motion, $v^2=u^2+2as$ , where u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, s is the displacement and a is the acceleration.

Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = -g, final velocity = 0 m/s at maximum height H

$0^2=(usin\theta) ^2-2gH\\ \\ H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

In the give problem we have R = 301.5 m, θ = 25° we need to find H.

So $\frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}=301.5\\ \\ \frac{u^2sin(2*25)}{g}=301.5\\ \\ u^2=393.58g$

Now we have $H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}=\frac{393.58*g*sin^2 25}{2g}=35.15m$

So maximum height reached = 35.15 meter.

Given three capacitors, c1 = 2.0 μf, c2 = 1.5 μf, and c3 = 3.0 μf, what arrangement of parallel and series connections with a 12

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Connect C₁ to C₃ in parallel; then connect C₂ to C₁ and C₂ in series. The voltage drop across C₁ the 2.0-μF capacitor will be approximately 2.76 volts.

$-1.5\;\mu\text{F}-[\begin{array}{c}-{\bf 2.0\;\mu\text{F}}-\\-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-\end{array}]-$ .

Explanation:

Consider four possible cases.

$-\begin{array}{c}-{\bf 2.0\;\mu\text{F}-}\\-1.5\;\mu\text{F}- \\-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-\end{array}-$

In case all three capacitors are connected in parallel, the $2.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor will be connected directed to the battery. The voltage drop will be at its maximum: 12 volts.

$-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-[\begin{array}{c}-{\bf 2.0\;\mu\text{F}}-\\-1.5\;\mu\text{F}-\end{array}]-$

In case the $2.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor is connected in parallel with the $1.5\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor, and the two capacitors in parallel is connected to the $3.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor in series.

The effective capacitance of two capacitors in parallel is the sum of their capacitance: 2.0 + 1.5 = 3.5 μF.

The reciprocal of the effective capacitance of two capacitors in series is the sum of the reciprocals of the capacitances. In other words, for the three capacitors combined,

$\displaystyle C(\text{Effective}) = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{C_3}+ \dfrac{1}{C_1+C_2}} = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{3.0}+\dfrac{1}{2.0+1.5}} = 1.62\;\mu\text{F}$ .

What will be the voltage across the 2.0 μF capacitor?

The charge stored in two capacitors in series is the same as the charge in each capacitor.

$Q = C(\text{Effective}) \cdot V = 1.62\;\mu\text{F}\times 12\;\text{V} = 19.4\;\mu\text{C}$ .

Voltage is the same across two capacitors in parallel.As a result,

$\displaystyle V_1 = V_2 = \frac{Q}{C_1+C_2} = \frac{19.4\;\mu\text{C}}{3.5\;\mu\text{F}} = 5.54\;\text{V}$ .

$-1.5\;\mu\text{F}-[\begin{array}{c}-{\bf 2.0\;\mu\text{F}}-\\-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-\end{array}]-$ .

Similarly,

the effective capacitance of the two capacitors in parallel is 5.0 μF;
the effective capacitance of the three capacitors, combined: $\displaystyle C(\text{Effective}) = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{C_2}+ \dfrac{1}{C_1+C_3}} = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{1.5}+\dfrac{1}{2.0+3.0}} = 1.15\;\mu\text{F}$ .

Charge stored:

$Q = C(\text{Effective}) \cdot V = 1.15\;\mu\text{F}\times 12\;\text{V} = 13.8\;\mu\text{C}$ .

Voltage:

$\displaystyle V_1 = V_3 = \frac{Q}{C_1+C_3} = \frac{13.8\;\mu\text{C}}{5.0\;\mu\text{F}} = 2.76\;\text{V}$ .

$-2.0\;\mu\text{F}-1.5\;\mu\text{F}-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-$ .

Connect all three capacitors in series.

$\displaystyle C(\text{Effective}) = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{C_1} + \dfrac{1}{C_2}+\dfrac{1}{C_3}} =\frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{2.0} + \dfrac{1}{1.5}+\dfrac{1}{3.0}} =0.667\;\mu\text{F}$ .

For each of the three capacitors:

$Q = C(\text{Effective})\cdot V = 0.667\;\mu\text{F} \times 12\;\text{V} = 8.00\;\mu\text{C}$ .

For the $2.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor:

$\displaystyle V_1=\frac{Q}{C_1} = \frac{8.00\;\mu\text{C}}{2.0\;\mu\text{F}} = 4.0\;\text{V}$ .
