Ch 11: Impulse and Momentum

문제 73

11장, 문제 73

A 2100 kg truck is traveling east through an intersection at 2.0 m/s when it is hit simultaneously from the side and the rear. (Some people have all the luck!) One car is a 1200 kg compact traveling north at 5.0 m/s. The other is a 1500 kg midsize traveling east at 10 m/s. The three vehicles become entangled and slide as one body. What are their speed and direction just after the collision?

검증된 단계별 안내

Step 1: Recognize that this is a perfectly inelastic collision problem where the three vehicles stick together after the collision. The principle of conservation of momentum applies separately in the x-direction (east-west) and the y-direction (north-south).

Step 2: Write the momentum conservation equation for the x-direction. The total momentum in the x-direction before the collision is the sum of the momenta of the truck and the midsize car (since the compact car has no velocity in the x-direction). Use the formula for momentum: $ p = m \cdot v $, where $ m $ is mass and $ v $ is velocity.

Step 3: Write the momentum conservation equation for the y-direction. The total momentum in the y-direction before the collision is the momentum of the compact car (since the truck and midsize car have no velocity in the y-direction).

Step 4: Calculate the total mass of the entangled vehicles after the collision. The total mass is the sum of the masses of the truck, compact car, and midsize car. Use this total mass to find the final velocity components $ v_x $ (in the x-direction) and $ v_y $ (in the y-direction) by dividing the total momentum in each direction by the total mass.

Step 5: Determine the magnitude and direction of the final velocity. The magnitude of the velocity is given by $ v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2} $, and the direction (angle $ \theta $) is given by $ \theta = \tan^{-1}(v_y / v_x) $.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Conservation of Momentum

The principle of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant if no external forces act on it. In collisions, the momentum before the collision must equal the momentum after the collision. This concept is crucial for solving problems involving collisions, as it allows us to calculate the final velocities of the objects involved.

Vector Addition

In physics, velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. When multiple objects collide, their velocities must be treated as vectors, requiring vector addition to determine the resultant velocity of the combined mass. This involves breaking down the velocities into their components and summing them accordingly to find the overall speed and direction after the collision.

Inelastic Collision

An inelastic collision is a type of collision where the colliding objects stick together after impact, resulting in a loss of kinetic energy. In this scenario, the three vehicles become entangled and move as a single body, which is characteristic of inelastic collisions. Understanding this concept is essential for analyzing the final speed and direction of the combined mass post-collision.

A neutron is an electrically neutral subatomic particle with a mass just slightly greater than that of a proton. A free neutron is radioactive and decays after a few minutes into other subatomic particles. In one experiment, a neutron at rest was observed to decay into a proton (mass 1.67×10^-27 kg) and an electron (mass 9.11×10^-31 kg) . The proton and electron were shot out back-to-back. The proton speed was measured to be 1.0 ×10⁵ m/s, and the electron speed was 3.0×10⁷ m/s. No other decay products were detected. How much momentum did this neutrino 'carry away' with it?
