Given Solution: `a** We treat the vertical and horizontal quantities independently. We are given vertical displacement and initial velocity and we know that the vertical acceleration is the acceleration of gravity. So we solve the vertical motion first, which will give us a `dt with which to solve the horizontal motion.We first determine the final vertical velocity using the equation vf^2 = v0^2 + 2a'ds, then average the result with the initial vertical velocity. We divide this into the vertical displacement to find the elapsed time.We are given the initial horizontal velocity, and the fact that for an ideal projectile the only force acting on it is vertical tells us that the acceleration in the horizontal direction is zero. Knowing `dt from the analysis of the vertical motion we can now solve the horizontal motion for `ds. This comes down to multiplying the constant horizontal velocity by the time interval `dt. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* OK ********************************************* Question: `qQuery class notes #17 :Why do we expect that in an isolated collision of two objects the momentum change of each object must be equal and opposite to that of the other?

Given Solution: `a Briefly, the force exerted on each object on the other is equal and opposite to the force exerted on it by the other, by Newton's Third Law. By assumption the collision is isolated (i.e., this is a closed system); the two objects interact only with one another. So the net force on each object is the force exerted on it by the other. So the impulse F_net `dt on one object is equal and opposite the impulse experienced by the other. By the impulse-momentum theorem, F_net `dt = `d ( m v). The impulse on each object is equal to its change in momentum. Since the impulses are equal and opposite, the momentum changes are equal and opposite. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I didn’t explain this as in depth that I could have, but I understand it well. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&*3 ********************************************* Question: `qWhat are the six quantities in terms of which we analyze the momentum involved in a collision of two objects which, before and after collision, are both moving along a common straight line?

.............................................
Given Solution: `a** We analyze the momentum for such a collision in terms of the masses m1 and m2, the before-collision velocities v1 and v2 and the after-collision velocities v1' and v2'. Total momentum before collision is m1 v1 + m2 v2. Total momentum after collision is m1 v1' + m2 v2'. Conservation of momentum, which follows from the impulse-momentum theorem, gives us m1 v1 + m2 v2 = m1 v1' + m2 v2'. ** Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* OK Question: `1prin phy and gen phy 6.47. RR cars mass 7650 kg at 95 km/hr in opposite directions collide and come to rest. How much thermal energy is produced in the collision? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: ½(7650)(26.4^2)=2,660,000*2=5,320,000 confidence rating #$&* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aThere is no change in PE. All the initial KE of the cars will be lost to nonconservative forces, with nearly all of this energy converted to thermal energy. The initial speed are 95 km/hr * 1000 m/km * 1 hr / 3600 s = 26.4 m/s, so each car has initial KE of .5 m v^2 = .5 * 7650 kg * (26.4 m/s)^2 = 2,650,000 Joules, so that their total KE is 2 * 2,650,000 J = 5,300,000 J. This KE is practically all converted to thermal energy. "
