Problem
A moving electron has a Kinetic Energy K1. After a net amount of work is done on it, the electron is moving one-quarter as fast in the opposite direction. What is the work done Win terms of K1?
Solution
To solve for the work done, first we must determine what is the final kinetic energy of the electron.
By concept, we know that
K1=(1/2)mv²1
K2=(1/2)my2
But it was mentioned that:
v2=(
v1
so, K2 in terms of v1 is
K2=(
)mv²,
Substituting the expression for K1 results to
K2=(
Since work done is
W=AK=K
-K
Evaluating results to
W=(
K1
Batman is driving his 1000kg Batmobile straight north
at 150km/h, while talking on the batphone with Batgirl. The Joker is driving his
1200kg Jokercar straight east at 180km/h while talking on the phone with
Catwoman. Neither Batman nor the Joker realize they are about to hit each
other. Assuming the collision is perfectly inelastic, what is the speed and
direction of the mangled wreck after the cars hit each other? How much energy
went into crumpling the cars?
Two metal spheres are suspended by vertical cords as
shown below. Sphere 1, m, = 25g, is pulled to a height h, = 8.0cm and then
released from rest. After swinging down, it undergoes an elastic collision with
sphere 2, m2 = 80g. What is the velocity of sphere 1 right after the collision? To
what height will sphere 2 rise?
Given that the force vector is 2î + 4j – 1k and that the
position vector is 3î – 1j + 2k, determine:
