Could you send me the solution to questions 11. I got how to do 7, but didn't understand how to get the solution to 7.

&#You are always welcome to ask self-contained questions about anything. By self-contained questions I mean a question that includes a brief statement of the problem or topic you are asking about (in order to give everyone the best responses I can, I can't take time to look problems up in the text, which I don't carry with me in any case), and a statement of precisely what you do and do not understand about the situation. If it's a problem, you should include a list of things you have tried in attempting to solve (or to understand) the problem. Depending on the problem this might include a description of any diagrams, listings of concepts and topics you think might be helpful, and other relevant information. This can be relatively brief, but the more you can tell me, the more you will learn in the process, and the more specifically I can address my response. &#

Send me some details on #11 and what you do and do not understand, and I'll be glad to respond.

Explain how we get the components of the resultant of two vectors from the components of the original vectors.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

We get the x component by doing x = L cos (theta) and get the y component by doing y = L sin (theta).

** 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. **

RESPONSE -->

I think I misunderstood the question. I think I was solving for the two original vectors. But now I see that once we have these we will add the x components of each to get the resultant.

Explain how we get the components of a vector from its angle and magnitude.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The x component you get by using the formula magnitude cos(theta). To get the y, you used the formula magnitude sin (theta).

** 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). **

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Force = mass * acceleration

25 = (65) a

a = .3846

a = `dv/`dt

.3846 = `dv/20

`dv = 7.62 m/s

If the direction of the velocity is taken to be positive, then the directio 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.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I went about this problem all wrong. I didn't think of it as an impulse momentum sort of problem. I also didn't take into account that the frictional force will be negative. From there, I think if I knew to use the impulse momemtum theory, then I could have solved it because I think I understand that pretty well.

**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.

INSTRUCTOR COMMENT:

It's probably easier to solve for the variable v2 ':

Starting with m1 v1 + m2 v2 = m1 v1 ' + m2 v2 ' we add -m1 v1 ' to both sides to get

m1 v1 + m2 v2 - m1 v1 ' = m2 v2 ', then multiply both sides by 1 / m2 to get

v2 ` = (m1 v1 + m2 v2 - m1 v1 ' ) / m2.

Substituting for m1, v1, m2, v2 we will get the result you obtained.**

**** Univ. 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?

** 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. **
