Mass M1= 20kg and is initially moving to the right at a velocity of V1= 15 m/s. Mass M2 = 5kg and is initially moving to the left with a velocity of V2 = 10 m/s. The two masses collide and stick together. Calculate their final combined velocity Vf.
Consider a 33.2 kg block of wood sliding with 2.8 m/s to the left (in the negative xdirection) on an extremely slippery surface. At about 4.5 s, you throw a 9.4 kg lump of clay to the left, directly at the back of the block of wood. The lump of clay collides with and completely sticks to the block of wood, so that they both end up moving to the left with 5.1 m/s. a) Calculate the x-component of the lump of clay’s velocity right before it hits the block of wood. b) Qualitatively, draw a graph of the x-component of the net force acting on the block of wood vs. time. c) Qualitatively, draw a graph of the x-component of the momentum of the block of wood vs. time.
A spaceship is traveling through space, far away from any planets or stars. The ship has a mass of 520,000 kg and is traveling toward galactic at a speed of 6,200 m/s. Suddenly, an asteroid traveling the opposite direction at a speed of 8300 m/s strikes the spaceship. When the astronauts wake up, they find the asteroid embedded in the hull of their ship, which is now traveling at a speed of 4800 m/s, still in the direction of galactic north. Determine the mass of the asteroid. Determine how much kinetic energy was lost in the collision in joules. If the collision was elastic, determine how much kinetic energy the ship-asteroid system would have had after the collision.
The mass of a particular eagle is twice that of a hunted pigeon. Suppose the pigeon is flying north at ??,2 = 16.1 m/s when the eagle swoops down, grabs the pigeon, and flies off. At the instant right before the attack, the eagle is flying toward the pigeon at an angle ?= 42.7 ° below the horizontal and a speed of ??,1= 33.3 m/s. What is the speed of the eagle immediately after it catches its prey? 35.7 m/s 42.6 m/s 15.3 m/s 26.4 m/s
In another dream, you find yourself in the middle of outer space with your bestfriend and his evil twin. They look identical but you know the evil twin has a muchlower mass since he is only part human (and part machine.) Without harmingeither of them, how can you determine which one is the evil twin? ConsiderNewton’s Second Law and inertial mass.
A spaceship at rest relative to a nearby star in interplanetary space has a total mass of 2.50 104 kg. Its engines fire at t = 0, steadily burning fuel at. 76.7 kg/s with an exhaust speed of 4.25 103 m/s. Calculate the spaceships (a) acceleration at t = 0, (b) mass at t = 125 s, (c) acceleration at t = 125 s, and (d) speed at t = 125 s, relative to the same nearby star.
To calculate the momentum of an object, which properties of an object do you need to know?
A single-stage rocket of mass 308 metric tons (not including fuel) carries a payload of 3150 kg to low-Earth orbit. The exhaust speed of the rockets cryogenic propellant is 3.20 103 m/s. a. If the speed of the rocket as it enters orbit is 8.00 km/s, what is the mass of propellant used during the rockets burn? b. The rocket is redesigned to boost its exhaust speed by a factor of two. What is the mass of propellant used in the redesigned rocket to carry the same payload to low-Earth orbit? c. Because the exhaust speed of the redesigned rocket is increased by a factor of two, why is the fuel consumption of the redesigned rocket not exactly half that of the original rocket?

An astronaut floating at rest in space has run out of fuel in her jetpack. She realizes that throwing tools from her toolkit in the opposite direction will help propel her back toward the space station. If the astronaut has a mass of 85 kg and she throws a hammer of mass 4.5 kg at a speed of 4 m/s, what will be the approximate resultant velocity that carries her back to the space station?

Calculate the spaceship’s (a) acceleration att = 0, (b) mass at t = 125 s, (c) acceleration at t = 125 s, and(d) speed at t = 125 s, relative to the same nearby star.
One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. Such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated Challenger in June 1983, causing $50,000 of damage. N
