answers Collision derivation problem. If the car has a mass of 0.2 kg, the ratio of height to width of the ramp is 12/75, the initial displacement is 2.25 m, and the change in momentum is 0.58 kg*m/s, how far will it coast back up the ramp before changing directions?

Answer:

4.8967m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

M = 0.2kg

∆p = 0.58kgm/s

S(i) = 2.25m

Ratio h/w = 12/75

Firstly, we use conservation of momentum to find the velocity

Therefore, ∆p = MV

0.58kgm/s = 0.2V

V = 0.58/2

V = 2.9m/s

Then, we can use the conservation of energy to solve for maximum height the car can go

E(i) = E(f)

1/2mV² = mgh

Mass cancels out

1/2V² = gh

h = 1/2V²/g = V²/2g

h = (2.9)²/2(9.8)

h = 8.41/19.6 = 0.429m

Since we have gotten the heigh, the next thing is to solve for actual slant of the ramp and initial displacement using similar triangles.

h/w = 0.429/x

X = 0.429×75/12

X = 2.6815

Therefore, by Pythagoreans rule

S(ramp) = √2.68125²+0.429²

S(ramp) = 2.64671

Finally, S(t) = S(ramp) + S(i)

= 2.64671+2.25

= 4.8967m

In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of momentum to calculate the distance, so we have:

[tex]4.8967m[/tex]

For this, we have to organize the information given in the statement as:

  • M = 0.2kg
  • ∆p = 0.58kgm/s
  • S(i) = 2.25m
  • Ratio h/w = 12/75

Firstly, we use conservation of momentum to find the velocity, will be:

[tex]\Delta p = M\\0.58kgm/s = 0.2V\\V = 0.58/2\\V = 2.9m/s[/tex]

Then from the conservation of energy we find that:

[tex]E(i) = E(f)\\1/2mV^2= mgh\\1/2V^2 = gh\\h = 1/2V^2/g = V^2/2g\\h = (2.9)^2/2(9.8)\\h = 8.41/19.6 = 0.429m[/tex]

From the height found we can use similarity of triangles to find what is missing, like this:

[tex]h/w = 0.429/x\\X = 0.429*75/12\\X = 2.6815\\S(ramp) = \sqrt{2.68125^2+0.429^2}\\S(ramp) = 2.64671\\= 2.64671+2.25= 4.8967m[/tex]
