- Collision at an Angle To apply conservation of linear momentum in an inelastic collision. Two cars, both of mass m, collide and stick together. Prior to the collision, one car had been traveling north at a speed 2v, while the second was traveling in a southeastern direction at an angle ϕ with respect to the east-west direction and at a speed v. After the collision, the two-car system travels in a northeastern direction at an angle θ with respect to the north-south direction and at a speed v final. What is the angle θ (with respect to north) made by the velocity vector of the two cars after the collision? Express your answer in terms of ϕ. Your answer should contain an inverse trigonometric function.arrow_forwardA particle of mass 2.6 kg is attached to two cables CB and CA as shown. it revolves in a horizontal circle of radius 1.3 m at a constant speed of 8.45 m/s.arrow_forwardTwo masses, m1 and m2, are each suspended on identical springs.

- Show that the angular momentum HB of a rigid body about point B can be obtained by adding to the angular momentum HA of that body about point A the vector product of the vector rA/B drawn from B to A and the linear momentum of the body: Further show that when a rigid body rotates about a fixed axis, its angular momentum is the same about any two points A and B located on the fixed axis (HA=HB) if, and only if, the mass center G of the body is located on the fixed axis.arrow_forward4. Two blocks with the same mass are connected to a compressed spring at opposite ends. At first, the spring and blocks slide at the same velocity v on a frictionless surface to the right. The spring is released and at some later instant the left block is moving at v/2 to the left and the other block is moving to the right.

- The platform swing consists of a 190-lb flat plate suspended by four rods of negligible weight. When the swing is at rest, the 170-lb man jumps off the platform when his center of gravity G is 10 ft from the pin at A. This is done with a horizontal velocity of 5 ft/s, measured relative to the swing at the level of G.
