M4. Discussion: Frictionless World
Topic
In this module, we examined the concept of friction and how it affects everything we do. Air resistance is an important type of friction that you don’t want to forget about as you prepare your post. Consider what the world would be like without friction. For example, in a world without friction, the pitcher in a baseball game can still pitch the ball because he can push off the pitching rubber. The pitching rubber is the rubber slab atop the pitching mound that a pitcher uses to push off to gain velocity. But what happens when the batter swings or when the ball hits the catcher’s mitt?
Now, think of one of your favorite sports or another activity you enjoy. How would the action of that activity be different in a world without friction? In your initial post to the discussion, describe your activity and then respond to the following:
Finally, be sure to respond to at least two of your peers’ discussion posts.

3) A 2 kg block is sliding at an initial speed of 10 m/s across a surface, encountering a constant friction force of 7 N. How much work is done on the block after it slides 22 cm?
Answer:
Hint: Does the block gain or lose energy during
this process? What sign does this imply for the work done on
it?
4) How fast is the block moving after sliding 22 cm?
Answer:
Hint: You can treat the block like a simple
particle. What kind of energy does it have and how is this affected
by the work done on it?
5) What's the total distance the block travels before coming to
rest?
Correct, computer gets: 14.29 m
6) What is the average power of friction on the block over the time
it takes the block to come to rest?
Answer:
7) What was the instantaneous power of friction on the block after
it slid the first 22 cm?

f=½(pi) x sqroot(k/m) 0.148Hz=½(pi) x sqroot(2.56N/m / m) 0.148 x 2(pi)= sqroot(2.56)/m 0.93 = sqroot(2.56Hz/m) 0.93^2=sqroot(2.56Hz/m) m=2.66/0.93^2 = 2.96kg The mass is 2.96kg |

A bumper car with mass m1 = 122 kg is moving to the right with a velocity of v1 = 4.5 m/s. A second bumper car with mass m2 = 2m1 = 244 kg is at rest. The two have an elastic collision and the first bumper car rebounds backwards at a speed that is 1/3 of its original speed (1.5 m/s). Assume the surface is frictionless.
1) What is the change in momentum of bumper car 1? (let the positive direction be to the right)
2) What is the change in momentum of BOTH bumper cars combined?
3) What is the change in momentum of bumper car 2?
4) What is the final velocity of car 2?

7.15 Channel equalization. We suppose that u1, . . . , um is a signal (time series) that is trans- mitted (for example by radio). A receiver receives the signal y = c ∗ u, where the n-vector c is called the channel impulse response. In most applications n is small, e.g., under 10, and m is much larger. An equalizer is a k-vector h that satisfies h∗c ≈ e1, the first unit vector of length n + k − 1. The receiver equalizes the received signal y by convolving it with the equalizer to obtain z = h ∗ y.
(a) How are z (the equalized received signal) and u (the original transmitted signal) related? Hint. Recall that h∗(c∗u) = (h∗c)∗u.
(b) Numerical example. Generate a signal u of length m = 50, with each entry a random value that is either −1 or +1. Plot u and y = c ∗ u, with c = (1,0.7,−0.3). Also plot the equalized signal z = h ∗ y, with
h = (0.9, −0.5, 0.5, −0.4, 0.3, −0.3, 0.2, −0.1).
