Two particles of mass m1 = 1.4 kg and m2 = 2.9 kg undergo a one-dimensional head-on collision as shown in the figure below. Their initial velocities aling x are v1i = 11 m/s and v2i = -7.2 m/s. The two particles stick together after the collision (a completely inelastic collision). (Assume to the right as the positive direction).
a) Find the velocity after the collision.
answer is - 1.27 m/s
b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision?
Center of mass by integrals.
Find the center of mass of a uniform wire that subtends a circular arc of radius a. as shown in the image, knowing that it has uniform density.
Please explain step by step with the complete integrals, in this exercise I do not understand why in X and in Y my teacher gives x=rcosθ y=rsenθ, when the angle in the exercise is θ/2,
This again returns to last week's problem set, and your answers there should help here. For
this one, there were two carts on an essentially frictionless track. One cart has a mass of 0.5 kg
and the other has a mass of 1.5 kg, and they have velcro that makes them stick together when
they collide. They are initially moving toward each other, each with a speed of 0.30 m/s.
(a) What is the maximum velocity of the carts just after they collide and stick together?
(b) Would this collision be categorized as totally inelastic, inelastic, or (totally) elastic?
Explain.
(c) How much "convertible kinetic energy" was there in this situation and into what was it
converted?
