A cannon of mass 6.79 x 103 kg is rigidly bolted to the earth so it can recoil only by a negligible amount. The cannon fires a 85.6-kg shell horizontally with an initial velocity of 508 m/s. Suppose the cannon is then unbolted from the earth, and no external force hinders its recoil. What would be the velocity of a shell fired from this loose cannon? (Hint: In both cases assume that the burning gunpowder imparts the same kinetic energy to the system.)
Consider a conical pendulum (Fig. P6.8) with a bob of mass m = 80.0 kg on a string of length L = 10.0 m that makes an angle of = 5.00 with the vertical. Determine (a) the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the siring on the pendulum and (b) the radial acceleration of I he bob.
A massless spring of constant k = 78.4 N/m is fixed on the left side of a level track. A block of mass m = 0.50 kg is pressed against the spring and compresses it a distance d, as in Figure P7.74. The block (initially at rest) is then released and travels toward a circular loop-the-loop of radius R = 1.5 m. The entire track and the loop-the-loop are frictionless, except for the section of track between points A and B. Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the track along AB is k = 0.30 and that the length of AB is 2.5 m, determine the minimum compression d of the spring that enables the block to just make it through the loop-the-loop at point C. Hint: The force exerted by the track on the block will be zero if the block barely makes it through the loop-the-loop. Figure P7.74

Assume that the physical pendulum in a grandfather's clock is composed of a uniform rod (mass mrod = 5M, length Lrod = 10R) pivoted at the top, with its lower end connected to a uniform disk (mass mdisk = M, radius rdisk = R). The expressions for the moments of inertia about the centers of mass are: Irod = (1/12) mrod Lrod2 and Idisk = (1/2) mdisk rdisk2. Using the parallel axis theorem for both (rod and disk), find the moment of inertia of the system about the pivot. Report your answers in terms of M and R. A. (1603/6) MR2 B. (1729/6) MR2 C.

You fire a bullet at a ballistic pendulum. The large block of wood has a mass M2 = 3 kg, and the bullet has a mass of m1 = 35 g. The bullet completely penetrates the wood and emerges with a speed of vf = 80 m/s. The wood, as part of a pendulum, swings up to a maximum height of h = 11 cm. (a) Determine the speed of the block of wood after the bullet has passed through it. m/s(b) What is the speed of the bullet just before it hits the block? m/s(c) If the pendulum length is 0.8 m, what angle does the pendulum string make with the vertical when it reaches the top of its swing? degrees
A pendulum of length L = 1.0 meter and bob of mass m = 1.0 kg is released from rest at an angle θ = 30 degrees. When the pendulum reaches the vertical position, the bob strikes a cube with mass M = 3.0 kg that is resting on a frictionless table of height h = 0.85 m. d. Determine how far away from the bottom edge of the table, Δx, the cube will strike the floor e. At the location where the cube would have struck the floor, there is now a small cart of mass M = 3.0 kg and negligible height. The cube lands on the cart, and sticks to the cart in a completely *inelastic* collision. Ignore friction. Calculate the horizontal velocity of the cart just after the cube lands on it.
