Document Summary

The two forces are equal and opposite: momentum is conserved. So |vb| = (3/2)|va| (not surprising that b goes faster) 2/mbvb: we can use the simple kinematic equation that v = v0 + at and take up as positive. v = +2. 0 -9. 8*1 = -7. 8 m/s. so speed is 7. 8 m/s, average velocity is displacement/time. Displacement is distance in a straight line between beginning and ending points. If you sketch the function you find that it has a minimum between x=0 and x=-2. It is when u is a minimum then v is a maximum. To find this location, differentiate u and set du/dx = 0. So it goes from x = 0 to x = -1 to reach its maximum speed: the ke for each is the sum of the translational ke and the rotational ke. Clearly the one that is the slowest is the one which has the highest fraction of its energy as rotational ke.

There are two forces that cause the wheelchair to accelerate. These two forces are the component of the wheelchair’s weight that is parallel to the hill and the force the boy exerts. The net force on the wheelchair is equal to the sum of these two forces minus the friction force. Let’s use the following equation to determine the acceleration.

vf2 = vi^2 + 2 * a * d

6.5^2 = 1.4^2 + 2 * a * 12.4

24.8 * a = 40.29

a = 40.29 ÷ 24.8

This is approximately 1.62 m/s^2.

Net force = 50.5 * 40.29 ÷ 24.8 = 2034.645 ÷ 24.8

This is approximately 82 N.

Force parallel = 50.5 * 9.8 * 2.40 ÷ 12.4 = 1187.76 ÷ 12.4

This is approximately 95.8 N. This force and the force that the boy exerts are the forces that cause the wheelchair to accelerate.

Net force = F + (1187.76 ÷ 12.4) – 41

Set the two net forces equal to each other.

F + (1187.76 ÷ 12.4) – 41 = 2034.645 ÷ 24.8

F = 41 + (2034.645 ÷ 24.8) – (1187.76 ÷ 12.4)

F is approximately 27.3 N

Work = [41 + (2034.645 ÷ 24.8) – (1187.76 ÷ 12.4)] * 12.4 = 337.9625 J

His change in kinetic energy is due to gravitational- and his own work,

while the friction does negative work.

∆K = ∆U +∆W + ∆Wf

½m(Vf²−Vi²) = mgh + ∆W + Ff*d

∆W = ½m(Vf²−Vi²) − mgh − Ff*d

∆W = ½*50.5(6.5²−1.4²) − (50.5*9.8*2.4) − (−41*12.4)

∆W = 508 J

What is the spring constant? please help me!!!!?

A block of mass 487 g is pushed against the
spring (located on the left-hand side of the
track) and compresses the spring a distance
4.7 cm from its equilibrium position (as shown
in the ﬁgure below). The block starts from
rest, is accelerated by the compressed spring,
and slides across a frictionless horizontal track
(as shown in the ﬁgure below). It leaves the
track horizontally, ﬂies through the air, and
subsequently strikes the ground.
acceleration = 9.81
 
A) What is the spring constant?
B)What is the speed v of the block when it leaves
the track?

I'm sure there is some crucial information in "the figure below" !!!

Edit:

OK... now we got something to work with ... ;-)

Time needed to fall a vertical distance of 1.9 m is:

t = √( 2h / g )

t = √[ 2×(1.9 m) / (9.81 m/s²) ]

t = 0.6224 s

In that time, the block must travel a horizontal distance of 4.59 m, so the horizontal velocity is:

r = v×t

(4.59 m) = v×(0.6224 s)

v = 7.37 m/s < - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - answer B

That is also the speed of the block as it leaves the spring.

Its kinetic energy at that time is:

KE = m×v²/2

KE = (0.487 kg)×(7.3749 m/s)²/2

KE = 13.244 J

That is also the elastic potential energy stored in the spring at maximum compression. So the spring constant is:

KE = PEe = k×d²/2

(13.244 J) = k×(0.047 m)²/2

k = 12 N/m < - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - answer A

The gravitational potential energy of the block on the table is:

PEg = m×g×h

PEg = (0.487 kg)×(9.81 m/s²)×(1.9)

PEg = 9.077 J

The total energy of the block on the table is:

TE = PEg + PEe

TE = (9.077 J) + (13.244 J)

TE = 22.32 J

When hitting the ground, all that energy is converted to kinetic energy, so

TE = KE = m×v²/2

(22.32 J) = (0.487 kg)×v²/2

v = 9.57 m/s < - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - answer C

There must be a height above ground and a distance from the end of the track on the "as shown in the figure below".??

use f=kl

where k is the spring constant and l is extension from the natural length.

k=f/l

since you have mass in grams. use w=mg

w=0.487 x 9.8 = 4.77N

Now use the equation,

k=4.77/4.7

k=1.012

Note: my answer could be wrong since I do not know the springs original length from the diagram shown. But, the method of working out spring constant is same.

Physics Momentum, Rolling?

Pat builds a track for his model car out of wood. The track is 10.00 cm wide and 3.00 m long, and is solid. The runway is cut such that it forms a parabola by the equation y=(x - 3)^2/9. Locate the horizontal position of the center of gravity of this track.
 
A washing machine load in the "spin" cycle, (much like a centrifuge used to separate fluids), can be modeled as a cylinder which has zero density toward the center, and starting from some inner radius where the clothes (or fluids) begin, increases in density as you move radially outward. The washing machine has density of clothes (in SI units) of p=14r+5, a height of 0.51 m, and only has clothes present from inner radius 0.2m out to 0.7m from the center.
-What is the moment of Inertia of the wash load?

I can't visualize the first problem.

The second: Moment of inertia is I = m r^2. In a shell of thickness dr there is a mass of p * 2 * pi * r * h * dr. The moment of inertia of the shell is 2 pi h p r^3 dr. Now integrate this from r = 0.2m to r = 0.7m.

Kinetic energy is 1/2 m v^2. In rotations the moment of inertia is like the mass and the angular velocity is like the velocity, so rotational energy is 1/2 I omega^2. Omega is in rad/s. The total inertia of the system is the sum of the inertia of the clothes and the basin. Divide the energy by the time needed to get the power.

♣the distance the pig was pushed up is

s=0.5*a*t^2, where s=1.8m, a=4.9m/s^2, t is time of push-up;

speed of the pig gained after s=1.8m is v=a*t; thus v^2=2as;

♠ kinetic energy of the pig at the moment it’s released after push-up is

E=0.5*m*v^2, which is enough for the pig to move by itself L distance more along the ramp, where L=h/sin(b), h=50cm=0.5m, b is angle in question;

♦pig’s potential energy at vertex (when stopped) is E1=mgh;

the energy E2=E-E1 is gone on friction, that is E2=f*L is work of friction, where

f=μ*w1, w1=mg*cos(b) is component of pig’s weight normal to the aluminum ramp; or;

f= μ*mg*cos(b);

♦Thus E2=E-E1; or; f*L = 0.5*m*v^2 –mgh; or;

(μ*mg*cos(b)) * (h/sin(b)) =0.5*m* 2as –mgh; or;

μ*gh*cos(b)/sin(b) =as –gh, hence cot(b) =(as –gh)/(μ*gh), hence

(a); b=atan(μ*gh/(as-gh))= atan(0.07*9.8*0.5/(4.9*1.8 -9.8*0.5)) =5°;

♥ pig’s potential energy above the low end of the ramp is

W= mg*(s*sin(b) +h); pig’s ramp position is p=s +L = s + h/sin(b);

Pig’s final kinetic energy is W1=W-W2, where W2=f*p is work of friction;

and W1=0.5*m*v^2; thus

0.5*m*v^2 = mg*(s*sin(b) +h) – μ*mg*cos(b)*(s + h/sin(b));

v^2 =2g*(s*sin(b) +h)*(1 –μ*cot(b)) =2.575;

(b); v =1.605 m/s;

Part b: Collision in Two-Dimensions

The law of conservation of momentum is true for any and everydirection. So, for an isolated system, the momentum in the x, y andz directions or any other direction does not change.

Consider two objects colliding in deep space. Since the two objectstogether can be considered an isolated system, the total momentumof the system (the sum of the momenta of the two objects) isconserved in both the x and y directions. That is

pi-x-total=pf-x-total or pix1+pix2=pfx1+pfx2

pi-y-total=pf-y-total or piy1+piy2=pfy1+pfy2

If we assume object one is moving in the x-direction, object two ismoving in the y-direction and the collision is perfectlyinelastic,
we can rewrite these equations as

m1*vix1=(m1+m2)vfx

m2*viy2=(m1+m2)vfy

These equations can be solved to find the x and y components of theobject's velocity after the collision. The magnitude of vf can befound using the Pythagorean Theorem. The direction of the objectsafter the collision can be found using the inverse cosinefunction

Î¸=cos-1(vfx/|vf|)

Since cos-1 outputs an angle between 0 and Ï radians, we must useÎ¸new=2Ï-Î¸old if vfy is negative to get a correct value. Use thebuilt in function 'if' to find the true value of Î¸. Afterwards,convert the angle into degrees using the built in function'degrees' .

) Ion Rocket Engine. A special type of rocket engine useselectricity for propulsion: the ion engine. A soft metal, such ascesium, is vaporized and then electrified (ionized) with highvoltage. These cesium ions are the accelerated by strong electricfields to produce a current of atoms at high velocity. Outside theengine, the ions are then recombined with electrons to restoreelectrical neutrality.
