Question

Physics 201 Ch. 9-11 Quiz vz Fall 2017 obot iant flying robot. The first r robot has a mass 4. Two flying robots are has a mass of 250 kg and is flying with a velocity of 15 of 300 kg and is flying horizontally with a velocity of 10 m/s. attempting to combine into a single g 10 m/s 15 m/s 25* a) What is the x component of the final velocity (vs) of the combined flying robot? (5 points) b) What is the y-component of the final velocity (wy) of the combined flying robot? (5 points) c) What is the total velocity and direction (angle) of the combined flying robot? (4 points)

Explanation / Answer

(V1)x = 15 cos (25) = 15 x 0.906307787 = 13.59 m/s

(V1)y = 15 sin (25) = 15 x 0.422618262 = 6.33 m/s

(V2)x = 10 m/s

(V2)y = 0 m/s

Using momentum conservation

(a) In X direction

m1(V1)x + m2(V2)x = m1 + m2 (V")x

(250 x 13.59) + (300 x 10) = (250 + 300) x (V")x

(V")x = 11.63 m/s (Answer)

(b) In Y direction

m1(V1)y + m2(V2)y = m1 + m2 (V")y

(250 x 6.33) + (300 x 0) = (250 + 300) x (V")y

(V")y = 2.87 m/s (Answer)

(C) V = sqrt (V"x^2 + V"y^2)

V = sqrt ((11.63)^2 + (2.87)^2)

V = 11.97 m/s (Magnitude)


tan (a) = V"y / V"x = 2.87 / 11.63 = 0.24677558

a = 13.86 degree from x axis (Diection)
