Fluid Kinematics

The branch of science that deals with objects which are either in motion or stationary are studied under the branch of classical mechanics. Fluid mechanics is a subcategory of classical mechanics that deals with the behavior of fluids at rest (fluid stat…

Textbook Question

Chapter 14.1, Problem 14.27P

Derive the relation

H O = r ¯ × m v ¯ + H G

between the angular momenta H_O and H_G defined in Eqs. (14.7) and (14.24), respectively. The vectors r ¯ and v ¯ define, respectively, the position and velocity of the mass center G of the system of particles relative to the newtonian frame of reference Oxyz, and m represents the total mass of the system.

Two smooth discs A and B have a mass of 0.5 kg. Both discs are moving with velocities shown when they collide. The coeff. of restitution, e=0.5. Suppose that (vA)1=8m/s and (vB)1=3m/s. Find: a) Final velocity of A b) Angle of A measure counterclockwise from the positive x axis c) The final velocity of B d) The angle of B measured clockwise from the negative x axis

13. Block A with a mass of 2.0 kg is moving to the right at 5.0 m/s. It collides with a block B with a mass of 3.0 kg moving at 1.0 m/s to the left. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, what is their velocity after collision? A. 1.4 m/s to the left B. 1.4 m/s to the right C. 2.6 m/s to the left D. 2.6 m/s to the right please show complete solution

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. Find v final, the speed of the joined cars after the collision. Express your answer in terms of v and ϕ.
