a 0.157kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.850m/s . it has a head-on collision with a 0.306kg glider that is moving to the left with a speed of 2.26m/s . suppose the collision is elastic.

find the magnitude of the final velocity of the 0.157kg glider.

a) -3.3 or 0.88m/s b)-0.13m/s or -2.3 m/s

Explanation:

using conservation of momentum

where M₁ = mass of glider 1 and M₂ = mass of glider 2, U₁ = initial velocity of glider 1 and U₂ = initial velocity of glider 2, V₁ = final velocity of glider 1 and V₂ = final velocity of glider 2

using conservation law of momentum

M₁U₁ + M₂U₂ = M₁V₁ + M₂V₂

substituting the values into the equation

(0.157 × 0.85) + ( 0.306 ×-2.26) = 0.157V₁ + 0.306V₂

-0.558 = 0.157V₁ + 0.306V₂

also the sum of their kinetic energy before and after collision are the same since the collision is elastic

1/2M₁U₁² + 1/2M₂U₂² = 1/2 M₁V₁² + 1/2M₂V₂²

remove half from both sides and substitute the values into the resulting equation

(0.157 × 0.850²) + ( 0.306× -2.26²) = 0.157 V₁² + 0.306V₂²

0.113 + 1.56 = 0.157 V₁² + 0.306V₂²

-0.558 = 0.157V₁ + 0.306V₂

-0.558 - 0.157V₁ = 0.306V₂

divide both side by 0.306

-0.558/0.306 - 0.157V₁/0.306 = V₂

-1.82 - 0.513V₁ = V₂

substitute V₂ into equation 2

1.673 = 0.157 V₁² + 0.306V₂²

1.673 = 0.157 V₁² + 0.306 (-1.82 - 0.513V₁)²

1.673 = 0.157V₁² + 0.306( 3.3124 + 0.93V₁ + 0.93V₁ + 0.26V₁²)

1.673 = 0.157V₁² + 1.01 + 0.57V₁ + 0.08V₁²

1.673 = 0.157V₁² + 0.08V₁²+ 0.57V₁ + 1.01

0 = 0.157V₁² + 0.08V₁²+ 0.57V₁ + 1.01 - 1.673

0 = 0.237V₁²+ 0.57V₁ - 0.663

using quadratic formula calculate V₁

-b±√(b² - 4ac) / 2a

-0.57 ± √ (0.57² - (4 × 0.237×-0.663)) / (2×0.237)

-0.571± √(0.3249 + 0.629) / 2× 0.237

-0.571 ± √0.977 / 0.474

-1.56/ 0.474 = -3.3 or 0.88m/s

b) substitute the values into equation 1

-1.82 - 0.513V₁= V₂

V₂ = -0.13m/s or -2.3 m/s

Newton's law of cooling states that the rate of change in the temperature t(t) of a body is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the medium m(t) and the temperature of the body. that is, startfraction dt over dt endfraction equals upper k left bracket upper m left parenthesis t right parenthesis minus upper t left parenthesis t right parenthesis right bracket , where k is a constant. let kequals0.04 left parenthesis min right parenthesis superscript negative 1 and the temperature of the medium be constant, m(t) font size decreased by 3 equivalent font size decreased by 3 294 kelvins. if the body is initially at 369 kelvins, use euler's method with hequals0.1 min to approximate the temperature of the body after (a) 30 minutes and (b) 60 minutes.
