An object at rest on a flat, horizontal surface explodes into two fragments, one seven times as massive as the other. The heavier fragment slides 8.10 m before stopping. How far does the lighter fragment slide? Part A Assume that both fragments have the same coefficient of kinetic friction.

Respuesta :

Answer:

d_1 = 396.9 m

Explanation:

Given data:mass of lighter fragment m

Mass of heavier fragment = 7m

Velocity of lighter fragment  = V1

Velocity of heavier fragment  = V2

As object is rest before explosion occur thus momentum of system is zero

mv1 + 7mv2 = 0

V1 = -7V2

force of Friction on lighter fragment [tex]= f1 = \mu mg[/tex]

force of friction on heavier fragment [tex]= f2 = 7\mu mg[/tex]

Deceleration of lighter fragment = a1

we know that force of friction is given as

ma1 = - f1

[tex]ma1 = -\mu mg[/tex]

[tex]a1 = -\mu g[/tex]

Deceleration of heavier fragment = a2

7ma2 = -f2

[tex]7ma2 = -7\mu mg[/tex]

[tex]a2 = -\mu g[/tex]

Final velocity of  lighter fragment = V3 = 0 m/s

Final velocity of heavier fragment = V4 = 0 m/s

Distance traveled by lighter fragment prior to rest position is  = d1

Distance traveled by the heavier fragment prior to rest position is  = d2 = 8.10 m

[tex]V_4^2 = V_2^2 + 2a_2 d_2

[tex]0^2  = v_2^2 + 2(-\mu g)d_2[/tex]

[tex]d_2 = \frac{v_2^2}{2 \mu g}[/tex]

[tex]V_3^2 =V_1^2 + 2a_1 d_1[/tex]

[tex]0 = (-7v_2)^2 + 2(-\mu g)d_1[/tex]

[tex]d_1 = \frac{49 v_2^2}{2\mu g}[/tex]

[tex]d_1 = 49 d_2[/tex]

[tex]d_1 = 49 \times 8.1 = 396.9 m[/tex]

The lighter fragment slide moves a distance of 396.9 m.

What is Distance?

This is defined as the length of the space between two points.

Parameters

Mass of heavier fragment = 7m

Velocity of lighter fragment  = V1

Velocity of heavier fragment  = V2

mv1 + 7mv2 = 0

V1 = -7V2

Force of Friction on lighter fragment = f1 = µmg

Force of friction on heavier fragment = f2 = 7µmg

Deceleration of lighter fragment = a1

Force of friction = ma1 = - f1

ma1 = - µmg

a1 = - µg

Deceleration of heavier fragment = a2

7ma2 = -f2

7ma2 = - 7µmg

a2 = - µg

V₃²= V₁² + 2a₁d₁

0 = (-7v₂)² + 2(-µg) d₁

d₁ =  49v₂²/ 2µg

   = 49d₂ = 49 ˣ 8.1 = 396.9m
