Question: `qExplain how we get the components of the resultant of two vectors from the components of the original vectors.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

You add the x components to get the resultant x component and do the same for the y components to get the resultant y component.

Confidence rating #$&*: 3

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a** If we add the x components of the original two vectors we get the x component of the resultant.

If we add the y components of the original two vectors we get the y component of the resultant. **

Question: `qExplain how we get the components of a vector from its angle and magnitude.

Your solution:

For the x component you multiply the magnitude by the cosine of the angle. For the y component you multiply the magnitude by the sine of the angle. The angles have to be with the positive x axis.

Confidence rating #$&*: 3

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a** To get the y component we multiply the magnitude by the sine of the angle of the vector (as measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis).

To get the x component we multiply the magnitude by the cosine of the angle of the vector (as measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis). **

Question: `qprin phy, gen phy 7.02. Const frict force of 25 N on a 65 kg skiier for 20 sec; what is change in vel?

Your solution:

Impulse = -25N * 20s = -500N = change in momentum

-500N = 65 kg * dv

Dv = -7.69 m/s

Confidence rating #$&*: 3

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aIf the direction of the velocity is taken to be positive, then the direction of the frictional force is negative. A constant frictional force of -25 N for 20 sec delivers an impulse of -25 N * 20 sec = -500 N sec in the direction opposite the velocity.

By the impulse-momentum theorem we have impulse = change in momentum, so the change in momentum must be -500 N sec.

The change in momentum is m * `dv, so we have

m `dv = impulse and

`dv = impulse / m = -500 N s / (65 kg) = -7.7 N s / kg = -7.7 kg m/s^2 * s / kg = -7.7 m/s.

Question: `qgen phy #7.12 23 g bullet 230 m/s 2-kg block emerges at 170 m/s speed of block

Your solution:

(.023kg)(230m/s)+(2kg)(0m/s) = (.023kg)(170m/s)+(2kg)(x m/s)

5.29 kg m/s = 3.91 kg m/s = 2 kg x m/s

2kg x m/s = 1.38 kg m/s

X = .69 m/s

Confidence rating #$&*: 3

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a**STUDENT SOLUTION: Momentum conservation gives us

m1 v1 + m2 v2 = m1 v1' + m2 v2' so if we let v2' = v, we have

(.023kg)(230m/s)+(2kg)(0m/s) = (.023kg)(170m/s)+(2kg)(v). Solving for v:

(5.29kg m/s)+0 = (3.91 kg m/s)+(2kg)(v)

.78kg m/s = 2kg * v

v = 1.38 kg m/s / (2 kg) = .69 m/s.

Question: `q**** Univ. 8.75 (11th edition 8.70) (8.68 10th edition). 8 g bullet into .992 kg block, compresses spring 15 cm. .75 N force compresses .25 cm. Vel of block just after impact, vel of bullet?

Your solution:

Compression = .75N / .25cm = 3N/cm

this is also called the force constant

Potential Energy = (1/2)(3N/cm)(15cm ^2) = 337.5 N cm (1m / 100cm) = 3.375 Joules

Ideal collision => PE = KE

3.375J = (1/2)(1kg)(v^2)

V^2 = 6.75 m^2/s^2

V = 2.6 m/s

Momentum = 2.6m/s * 1 kg = 2.6 kg m/s = momentum of both after the collision and momentum of the bullet before the collision because of conservation of momentum.

2.6kg m/s = .008 kg * v

V = 325 m/s

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a** The spring ideally obeys Hook's Law F = k x. It follows that k = .75 N / .25 cm = 3 N / cm.

At compression 15 cm the potential energy of the system is PE = .5 k x^2 = .5 * 3 N/cm * (15 cm)^2 = 337.5 N cm, or 3.375 N m = 3.375 Joules, which we round to three significant figures to get 3.38 J.

The KE of the 1 kg mass (block + bullet) just after impact is in the ideal case all converted to this PE so the velocity of the block was v such that .5 m v^2 = PE, or v = sqrt(2 PE / m) = sqrt(2 * 3.38 J / ( 1 kg) ) = 2.6 m/s, approx.

The momentum of the 1 kg mass was therefore 2.6 m/s * .992 kg = 2.6 kg m/s, approx., just after collision with the bullet. Just before collision the momentum of the block was zero so by conservation of momentum the momentum of the bullet was 2.6 kg m/s. So we have

mBullet * vBullet = 2.6 kg m/s and vBullet = 2.6 kg m/s / (.008 kg) = 330 m/s, approx. **
