What is the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the block/bullet combination immediately after the impact? b. What is the magnitude and direction of the impulse by the block on the bullet? c. What is the magnitude and direction of the impulse from the bullet on the block? d. If it took 3 ms for the bullet to change the speed from 400 m/s to the final speed after impact, what is the average force between the block and the bullet during this time?

Under many conditions, the center of mass of a system of particles can represent the system as a whole. But how far does this rule extend? Consider two identical particles traveling toward each other at the same speed. By examining this system, choose the correct response. 1)The momentum and kinetic energy of the center of mass is equivalent to that of the system of particles. 2)The kinetic energy, but not the momentum, of the center of mass is equivalent to that of the system of particles. 3)Neither the momentum nor the kinetic energy of the center of mass is equivalent to that of the system of particles. 4)The momentum, but not the kinetic energy, of the center of mass, is equivalent to that of the system of particles.
Suppose that you know the geometric center of the shape you have created is, can you say that it is automatically the same point as the center of mass? Explain further

If each piece follows a trajectory that is initially at 43.0 degrees to the vertical, what was their speed immediately after the explosion? What is the velocity of the rocket's center of mass before the explosion? What is the velocity of the rocket's center of mass after the explosion? What is the acceleration of the rocket's center of mass before the explosion? What is the acceleration of the rocket's center of mass after the explosion?

Valentina, a Russian cosmonaut, exits her ship for a space walk. When she is 15 m from the ship and floating motionless, her tether catches on a sharp piece of metal and is severed. Valentina quickly reacts by tossing her 2 kg camera away from the spaceship with a speed of 12 m/s. a). How fast will Valentina, whose combined mass with spacesuit is 188 kg, float toward the spaceship? (Round answer to nearest hundredth). b) Assuming that the space ship remains at rest with respect to her, How long (in seconds) will it take for her to float back to the ship ?

Hi there Can someone please help me? I am confused on how to complete this question. Two ice skaters, with masses of 77 kg and 51 kg, stand facing each other on a 12-m-wide frozen river. The skaters push off against each other, glide backward straight toward the river's edges, and reach the edges at exactly the same time. How far did the 77 kg skater glide? Thank you!
