A boy cruising across a smooth, level sidewalk is approaching a pipe guard-rail. It seems like a good idea for him to jump over the rail and let the skateboard pass under the rail. The mass of the boy is 39.6 kg, the mass of the skateboard is 2.55 kg, the initial cruising speed is +5.37 m/s, and the instant after leaving contact with the board, the boy's velocity relative to the sidewalk is 5.42 m/s, 9.54° above the horizontal. If we ignore the force of friction between the skateboard and the sidewalk, determine the skateboard's velocity relative to the sidewalk at the instant the boy leaves the board. ____________________________ m/s
Three steel spheres of equal mass are suspended from the ceiling bystrings of the same length that are spaced at a distanceslightly larger than the diameter of the spheres. After pulling it andReleasing it, sphere A hits sphere B, which then hits sphere C.If the coefficient of restitution between the spheres is denoted by e and by v0 thevelocity of A just before it hits B, determine, (a) the velocitiesof A and B immediately after the first collision, b) the velocities ofB and C immediately after the second crash. c) If now it is assumedthat n spheres are suspended from the ceiling and that the first is pulled and released asdescribed above, determine the velocity of the last sphere aftertakes the first hit. d.Use the result of part c to find the velocity of the last sphere.when n = 6 and e = 0.95.
