On a straight horizontal track along which blocks can slide with negligible friction. block 1 slides toward block 2, which is initially at rest. Block 1 collides with an electronic force probe attached to block 2 . generating a force vs. time graph and causing block 2 to start sliding. What additional measurements must be made to determine the momentum of block 2 after the collision? SP144
The mass of block 2 only
Both the mass and the post-collision speed of block 1
None

The post-collision speed of block 2 only

Acart of mass mm is moving with negligible friction along a track with known speed v1\mathbf{v 1} to the right. It collides with and sticks to a cart of mass 4 m moving with known speed 2\sqrt{2} to the right. Which of the two principles, conservation of momentum and conservation of mechanical energy, must be applied to determine the final speed of the carts, and why? 5P1410

O Only conservation of momentum, because the momentum lost by one cart is gained by the other and there is only one unknown quantify.

Solution
a
To find the final speed after the collision, we apply the conservation of momentum. The initial momentum of the system is given by: pinitial=m1v1+m2v2p_{initial} = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 where m1=2kgm_1 = 2 \, \text{kg}, v1=5m/sv_1 = 5 \, \text{m/s}, m2=3kgm_2 = 3 \, \text{kg}, and \(v_2 = 0 \, \text{m/s}$$. Thus, $$p_{initial} = (2 \, \text{kg})(5 \, \text{m/s}) + (3 \, \text{kg})(0) = 10 \, \text{kg m/s}$$
b
After the collision, the two objects stick together, so we can denote their combined mass as mtotal=m1+m2=2kg+3kg=5kgm_{total} = m_1 + m_2 = 2 \, \text{kg} + 3 \, \text{kg} = 5 \, \text{kg}. The final momentum pfinalp_{final} is equal to the initial momentum: pfinal=mtotalvfp_{final} = m_{total} v_f. Setting the initial and final momenta equal gives us: 10kg m/s=(5kg)vf10 \, \text{kg m/s} = (5 \, \text{kg}) v_f, which simplifies to vf=10kg m/s5kg=2m/sv_f = \frac{10 \, \text{kg m/s}}{5 \, \text{kg}} = 2 \, \text{m/s}
c
To find the change in kinetic energy, we calculate the initial and final kinetic energies. The initial kinetic energy is: KEinitial=12m1v12=12(2kg)(5m/s)2=25JKE_{initial} = \frac{1}{2} m_1 v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2} (2 \, \text{kg}) (5 \, \text{m/s})^2 = 25 \, \text{J}. The final kinetic energy after the collision is: KEfinal=12mtotalvf2=12(5kg)(2m/s)2=10JKE_{final} = \frac{1}{2} m_{total} v_f^2 = \frac{1}{2} (5 \, \text{kg}) (2 \, \text{m/s})^2 = 10 \, \text{J}. The change in kinetic energy is: ΔKE=KEfinalKEinitial=10J25J=15J\Delta KE = KE_{final} - KE_{initial} = 10 \, \text{J} - 25 \, \text{J} = -15 \, \text{J}, indicating a decrease in kinetic energy
Answer
D
Key Concept
Conservation of Momentum: The total momentum of a closed system remains constant if no external forces act on it. The equation is pinitial=pfinalp_{initial} = p_{final}. Kinetic Energy: The energy of motion, given by KE=12mv2KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2.
Explanation
In this collision, momentum is conserved, leading to a final speed of 2 m/s, while kinetic energy decreases due to the inelastic nature of the collision.
