    Using the conservation of momentum, the total momentum just after the impact = 40 kg m/s.

  • Mechanics: velocity and kinetic energy

    Just after Impact ----------------- Conservation of Momentum gives: M*Vb = (M+m)*Va Va = 450*8/490 = 7.33 m/sec = Velocity just after impact KE just after impact = (1/2)*(M+m)*Va^2 = 13,162.5 J This shows how to calculate velocity and kinetic

  • Find velocity of a bullet that hits a stationary block after the block slides to a stop.

    After the impact, conservation of energy is that the kinetic energy immediately after impact is transformed into heat generated during the slide.

    g= 9.81 m/s^2 h1= 1.93 m h2= 1.56 m mass=m= 38.0 g= 0.038 Kg Magnitude of Velocity before the impact= V1=square root of (2gh1)= 6.154 m/s Magnitude of Velocity after the impact=V2= square root of (2gh2)= 5.532 m/

  • projectile and block collision

    Total momentum before impact = m1v1 + m2*0 = m1v1 = 0.15*715 = 107.25 kg-m/s Total momentum after impact = m2v2 + m1v1' = 2*40 + 0.15*v1' = 80 + 0.15v1' By Law of conservation of momentum, 107.25 = 80 + 0.15v1' Therefore, v1' = It investigates the

  • Angular Velocity, Fractional Loss, Kinetic Energy and Minimum Value

    Which dynamical variables are conserved (a) before impact, (b) during impact, and (c) after impact? Find the angular velocity immediately after impact, and the fractional loss of kinetic energy.

  • Mechanics - velocity and kinetic energy

    So, KE immediately before the impact = 14332.5 N = (1/2)M*v^2 or v^2 = 2*14332.5/450 = 63.7 or, v = 7.98 m/sec d) Conservation of Momentum gives: M*Vb = (M+m)*Va Va = 450*8/490 = 7.33 m/sec = Velocity just after impact KE just after

  • Inelastic collisions
