Help UFRJ (Brazillian college) physics exam

In summary, a physics exam was taken with questions about damped harmonic oscillations and dynamics of spin. The first question involved a frontal collision between particles A and B, with particle B initially at rest and particle A approaching with a speed v. The final speed of particle A was null with respect to v. The second question involved a spinning metal ring and a bullet of mass m hitting the table with speed v. The angular velocity of the table was determined in three different cases, including when the bullet gets stuck on the edge of the table and when it grazes with a velocity v/2. The ratio between final and initial kinetic energy was also calculated. The teacher referenced the book Moyses for these questions.

Hello friends .. I did a physics exam last week and had many doubts on questions 1 - d) e) and 2 - b) c) ... I tried to solve the test at home but I could not .. if someone can give a help I would greatly appreciate it! items d) and e) the question is a damped harmonic oscillations on the fluid (air) and the second question is about dynamics of spin ... the teacher is based on the book Moyses, thank you already!

1) Consider a frontal collision between two particles, A and B respectively mass M and m moving in straight line along the same trajectory (axis x), without friction. The particle A is at rest x = 0 and particle B approaches A with speed -V <0 coming from x> 0 . Where M>> m , after an elastic collision (energy saving) it is observed that the particle B moves away from A with the speed v> 0 . The final speed of A can be considered null with respect to v .

(b) Determine the final momentum of A , [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?p_{A}^{f}%20=%20\Delta%20p_{A}[/URL]

(c) Describe the impact (ie, determine the velocities of A and B before and after the collision) when B is initially at rest x0 and A approaches coming from x <x0 with the speed v . [Note that this is just a change of reference with respect to (b)]. Determine [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\Delta%20p_{A}[/URL] this case.

(d) In a hypothetical situation, A moves with velocity v in a uniform density of gas molecules of mass m , all initially at rest, occurring on average one collision every time interval [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\delta%20t.[/URL] Each collision produces the same variation of momentum of A calculated in (c). Determine the effective force on the weight M . Consider a time interval to measure the effective force [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\Delta%20t\gg%20\delta%20t[/URL]

(e) The particle A in the gas described in (d) is attached to the end of a spring with constant k and which oscillates along the axis x . Write the equation of motion. What behavior do you expect to find the amplitude of the movement for [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?2\pi%20\sqrt{(M/k)}[/URL]


2) A bar table has a top spinning metal ring radius R and mass M . A bullet of mass [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?m%20\ll%20M[/URL] hits the table with speed [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\vec{v}%20=%20v%20\widehat{\theta}[/URL] (tangential) on board in [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\vec{r}%20=%20R%20\widehat{r}.[/URL] We use polar coordinates with respect to the center of the table that can rotate without friction. The moment of inertia of the table in the center is [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?I%20=%20MR^{2}/2.[/URL] Determine the angular velocity of the final table in the following cases:

(a) The ball gets stuck on the edge of the table.

(b) The bullet grazed almost using the same trajectory with velocity [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?{\vec{v}}'%20=%20\vec{v}/2.[/URL]

(c) Determine, in both cases (a) and (b), the ratio between final and initial kinetic energy. Remember that [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\frac{m}{M}%20\ll%201.[/URL]
