PHY-251 Exam 2 Spring 2020 Solutions

Question 1

A. Calculate the final velocity of m1, vf1.
Using the principle of conservation of momentum, we have:
\[
m_1 v_{1i} + m_2 v_{2i} = m_1 v_{1f} + m_2 v_{2f}
\]
Where:
- \( m_1 = 1.0 \, \text{kg} \)
- \( m_1 v_{1i} = 1.0 \times 4.0 = 4.0 \, \text{kg m/s} \)
- \( m_2 = 5.0 \, \text{kg} \)
- \( m_2 v_{2i} = 5.0 \times 1.0 = 5.0 \, \text{kg m/s} \)
- \( v_{2f} = 2.0 \, \text{m/s} \)
Plugging these values into the equation:
\[
4.0 + 5.0 = m_1 v_{1f} + 5.0 \times 2.0
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
9.0 = m_1 v_{1f} + 10.0
\]
Rearranging gives:
\[
m_1 v_{1f} = 9.0 - 10.0
\]
\[
m_1 v_{1f} = -1.0
\]
\[
v_{1f} = -1.0 \, \text{m/s}
\]
Thus, the final velocity of \( m_1 \) is \( 1.0 \, \text{m/s} \) in the negative x-direction.
B. Determine if the collision is elastic or inelastic. Show quantitatively.
In an elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. We need to calculate the initial and final kinetic energies.
Initial kinetic energy \( KE_i \):
\[
KE_i = \frac{1}{2} m_1 v_{1i}^2 + \frac{1}{2} m_2 v_{2i}^2
\]
Calculating:
\[
KE_i = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.0 \times (4.0)^2 + \frac{1}{2} \times 5.0 \times (1.0)^2
\]
\[
= 8.0 + 2.5 = 10.5 \, \text{J}
\]
Final kinetic energy \( KE_f \):
\[
KE_f = \frac{1}{2} m_1 v_{1f}^2 + \frac{1}{2} m_2 v_{2f}^2
\]
\[
= \frac{1}{2} \times 1.0 \times (-1.0)^2 + \frac{1}{2} \times 5.0 \times (2.0)^2
\]
\[
= 0.5 + 10.0 = 10.5 \, \text{J}
\]
Since \( KE_i = KE_f \), the collision is elastic.

Question 2

A. Calculate the impulse associated with this force on the interval \( t_i = 0 \, \text{s} \) and \( t_f = 1 \, \text{s} \).
Impulse \( J \) is given by the integral of force \( F \) over time:
\[
J = \int_{t_i}^{t_f} F \, dt = \int_0^1 (t^2 - t^5) \, dt
\]
Calculating the integral:
\[
= \left[ \frac{t^3}{3} - \frac{t^6}{6} \right]_0^1
\]
\[
= \left( \frac{1^3}{3} - \frac{1^6}{6} \right) - \left( 0 - 0 \right)
\]
\[
= \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \, \text{Ns}
\]
B. Calculate the average force \( F_{ave} \) on the interval \( t_i = 0 \, \text{s} \) and \( t_f = 1 \, \text{s} \).
The average force is given by:
\[
F_{ave} = \frac{J}{\Delta t} = \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{1 - 0} = \frac{1}{6} \, \text{N}
\]

Question 3

A. Calculate the force of gravity \( F_G \) between the Earth and the asteroid.
Using the formula for gravitational force:
\[
F_G = \frac{G m M}{r^2}
\]
Where:
- \( G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \)
- \( m = 8.7 \times 10^{16} \, \text{kg} \)
- \( M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg} \)
- \( r = h + R_E = 7R_E + R_E = 8R_E = 8 \times 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} = 5.12 \times 10^7 \, \text{m} \)
Substituting these values we find:
\[
F_G = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(8.7 \times 10^{16})(5.98 \times 10^{24})}{(5.12 \times 10^7)^2}
\]
\[
F_G \approx \frac{3.46 \times 10^{30}}{2.62 \times 10^{15}} \approx 1.32 \times 10^{15} \, \text{N}
\]
B. Calculate the final velocity \( v_f \) of the asteroid.
Using energy conservation:
\[
\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = G\frac{mM}{r}
\]
At the surface of the Earth:
\[
\frac{1}{2} v_f^2 = \frac{G M}{R_E} \rightarrow v_f = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E}}
\]
\[
v_f = \sqrt{\frac{2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})}{6.4 \times 10^6}} \approx \sqrt{9.81 \times 10^2} \approx 31.34 \, \text{m/s}
\]
