Answer to Problem 69P

The velocity of the particles is 6.00ˆim/s.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression from conservation of momentum.

Pi=Pf        (I)

Here, Pi is the initial momentum and Pf is the final momentum.

Write the equation for initial momentum.

  Pi=(m1v1i)+(m2v2i)        (II)

Here, m1,m2 are the masses, v1i,v2i are the initial velocities of the objects.

Write the equation for final momentum at the distance of closest approach.

  Pf=(m1+m2)vf        (III)

Here, vf are the final velocities of the objects.

Rewrite the expression from equation (I) by using (II), (III) in terms of final velocity.

(m1v1i)+(m2v2i)=(m1+m2)vfvf=(m1v1i)+(m2v2i)(m1+m2)        (IV)

Conclusion:

Substitute, 2.00g for m1, 5.00g for m2, 21.0ˆim/s for v1i, 0m/s for v2i in Equation (IV) to find vf.

Thus, the velocity of the particles is 6.00ˆim/s.

Answer to Problem 69P

The closest distance is 3.64m_.

Explanation of Solution

Here, initial potential energy is zero.

Write the expression from conservation of energy.

Ki=Kf+Uf        (V)

Here, Ki,Kf are the initial and final kinetic energy and Uf is the final potential energy.

Write the equation for initial kinetic energy.

  Ki=12(m1(v1i)2)+12(m2(v2i)2)        (VI)

Write the equation for final kinetic energy.

  Kf=12(m1+m2)(vf)2        (VII)

Write the equation for final potential energy.

  Uf=kq1q2r        (VIII)

Here, q1,q2 are the charges, k is Coulomb’s constant, r is distance.

Rewrite the expression from equation (V) by using (VI), (VII) and (VIII) in terms of distance.

r=2kq1q2(m1+m2)m1m2v21i        (IX)

Conclusion:

Substitute, 8.99×109N-m2/C2 for k, 15.0μC for q1, 8.50μC for q2, 2.00g for m1, 5.00g for m2, 21.0m/s for v1i in Equation (IX) to find r.

r=2(8.99×109N-m2/C2)[(15.0μC)(8.50μC)(1×106C1μC)2][{(2.00g)+(5.00g)}(1×103kg1g)][{(2.00g)(5.00g)}(1×103kg1g)2](21.0m/s)2=3.64m

Thus, the closest distance is 3.64m_.

Answer to Problem 69P

The velocity of first particle is 9.00ˆim/s_.

Explanation of Solution

The initial velocity of second particle is zero.

Write the expression from relative velocity equation.

v1i=v2fv1f        (X)

Rewrite the expression from equation (IV) by using (X) in terms of final velocity of first particle.

v1f=(m1m2m1+m2)v1i        (XI)

Conclusion:

Substitute, 2.00g for m1, 5.00g for m2, 21.0m/s for v1i in Equation (XI) to find v1f.

  v1f=(2.00g5.00g2.00g+5.00g)(21.0m/s)=9.00m/s

Thus, the velocity of first particle is 9.00ˆim/s_.

(d)

To determine

The velocity of second particle.

Answer to Problem 69P

The velocity of second particle is 12.0ˆim/s_.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression from relative velocity equation.

v1i=v2fv1f        (XII)

Conclusion:

Substitute, 9.00m/s for v1f, 21.0m/s for v1i in Equation (XII) to find v2f.

  (21.0m/s)=v2f(9.00m/s)v2f=12.0m/s

Thus, the velocity of second particle is 12.0ˆim/s_.

Thor flies by spinning his hammer really fast from a leather strap at the end of the handle, letting go, then grabbing it and having it pull him. If Thor wants to reach escape velocity (velocity needed to leave Earth’s atmosphere), he will need the linear velocity of the center of mass of the hammer to be 11,200 m/s. Thor's escape velocity is 33532.9 rad/s, the angular velocity is 8055.5 rad/s^2. While the hammer is spinning at its maximum speed what impossibly large tension does the leather strap, which the hammer is spinning by, exert when the hammer is at its lowest point? the hammer has a total mass of 20.0kg.
