A 2.0kgobject is moving to the right with a speed of 1.0m/swhen it experiences the force shown in FIGURE EX11.8. What are the object’s speed and direction after the force ends?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The object’s speed and direction after the force ends isvf=0m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given information  

We need to find the object’s speed and direction after the force ends.

02

Simplify  

For a short time a object receives a force is known as impulse. it is the area under the curve of the force-versus-time graph and it is the same as momentum. The impulse is the quantity Jxand it is given by equation in the form

impulse=Jx=titfFx(t)dt=areaundertheFx(t)curvebetweentiandtf(1)

In a graph of force versus time the force is in the range of time t=1.0s. the impulse takes the rectangle shape, where length is l=1.0sand width is w=-2N. The area of the rectangle is the product of the width and the length

A=(width)(lenght)

Using equation (1)to get impulse

Jx=(width)(length)=(-2N)(1s)=(-2kg)×(m/s)

03

Simplify  

The object has mass mand moves with speed vthat has momentum p, Vector is a product of object's mass and its velocity.The momentum is given by equation in the form

p=mv(2)

Initial velocity vI=1.0m/s.To get initial momentum pixof the object using equation (2)and putting values for 2kgand1.0m/s.

piv=mvi=(2kg)(1.0m/s)=(2kg)×(m/s)

04

Calculation

The impulse changes its momentum to and it is given by equation in the form

pfx=pix+jx(3)

Putting values forvpixandjxin equation (3)to get pfx

pfx=pix+jx=(2kg)×(m/s)+(-2kg)×(m/s)=(0kg)×(m/s)

Zero is the final momentum means objective has been stopped, and final velocity is zero

vf=0m/s.

A 100g granite cube slides down a 40° frictionless ramp. At the bottom, just as it exits onto a horizontal table, it collides with a 200g steel cube at rest. How high above the table should the granite cube be released to give the steel cube a speed of 150cm/s?

You have been asked to design a “ballistic spring system” to measure the speed of bullets. A spring whose spring constant is k is suspended from the ceiling. A block of mass M hangs from the spring. A bullet of mass m is fired vertically upward into the bottom of the block and stops in the block. The spring’s maximum compression d is measured.

a. Find an expression for the bullet’s speed vB in terms of m, M, k, and d.

b. What was the speed of a data-custom-editor="chemistry" 10gbullet if the block’s mass is data-custom-editor="chemistry" 2.0kgand if the spring, with data-custom-editor="chemistry" k=50N/m, was compressed by data-custom-editor="chemistry" 45cm?
