At/by A:4 kg block
In y direction (up)
N – Fg = 0
N = Fg = mg

At/by B:8 kg block
In the x direction
–T + Fg = mBa✓
–T + mBg = mBa (equation 2)

Solving the system of equations
T – μmAg – T + mBg = mAa + mBa✓
Removing T and isolating a:
–μmAg + mBg = (mA + mB)a✓
–(0,6)(4)(9,8) +(8)(9,8)✓

vf = 0,96 m.s-1 to the right✓

 

 

 

 

 

(5)
7.2   Σ?? = ½ mMB v2iMB + ½ mC v2iC ✓
= ½(3 050)(15)2 + ½(1 650)(-25)2✓ = 85 8750 J✓
Σ?? = ½mMB v2fMB + ½ mC v2fC ✓
= ½(3 050)(0,96)2✓+ ½(1 650)(0,96)2✓ = 2 165,76 J ✓
Since Σ?? ≠ Σ?? ✓
∴ the collision was inelastic✓
