A 5.9 × 107 kg battle ship originally at rest fires a 1100-kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of 585 m/s. The firing of the shell results in a recoil velocity of -0.01091 m/s. Calculate the change of kinetic energy, in joules, for the ship and the shell. This energy is less than the energy released by the gun powder; in other words, there is significant heat

If a cart of mass 350 grams moving at speed of 4.5 m/s hits an end-stop and rebounds at a speed of 3.2 m/s, what is the change in momentum, in units of kg.m/s? A cart has the rubber bumper attached to the force sensor, and it moves and collides with an end-stop. In the collision, it suffers a change in momentum = 4.05 kg.m/s, and the time during which the collision takes place is 0.182 seconds. Calculate the average force applied on the cart by the bumper, in newtons.
The following figure shows two particles of masses m1 and m2, with velocities before the collision of magnitude v1 and v2. If the collision is perfectly elastic, find the magnitude of the velocities v1' and v2' after the collision and the angle of incidence θ (theta), as a function of the masses and velocities before the collision.
A kid at the junior high cafeteria wants to propel an empty milk carton along a lunch table by hitting it with a 3.0 g spit ball. If he wants the speed of the 20 g carton just after the spit ball hits it to be 0.30 m/s, at what speed should his spit ball hit the carton?
A 14.2 g bullet is shot vertically into a2.64 kg block. When the bullet penetrates the block, itcomes to rest in a time interval of 1.12 ms. The block liftsupward 9.30 mm vertically with the bullet embedded.Ignore air resistance and ignore the force of gravity duringthe 1.12 ms embedding time. Find (A) the initial kineticenergy of the bullet before the collision and (B) find the % ofthis energy lost as heat during the collision. After yourcalculations, (C) show that it was a good approximation toignore the force of gravity during the 1.12 ms it took thebullet to come to rest in the block
Two balls with masses of 2.50 kg and 6.20 kg travel toward each other at speeds of 10.0 m/s and 4.20 m/s, respectively. If the balls have a head-oninelastic collision and the 2.50-kilogram ball recoils with a speed of 8.40 m/s, how much kinetic energy is lost in the collision?
A golf ball of mass m = 0.18 kg is dropped from a height h. It interacts with the floor for t = 0.11 s, and applies a force of F = 17.5 N to the floor when it elastically collides with it. Randomized Variablesm = 0.18 kgt = 0.11 sF= 17.5 N Write an expression for the ball's velocity, v, in terms of the variables m, t, and F, just after it rebounds from the floor. (Hint: The fact that the collision is elastic is important when solving this problem.) What is the magnitude of the ball's velocity v, in meters per second, right after it rebounds? How high h, in meters, will the ball travel on the rebound?
Particle A with mass m = 1.0 kg travelling at a speed v0 = 10 m/s in the +x direction collides withparticle B of mass m = 1.0 kg at rest. After the collision particle A continues on in the samedirection (+x) with a speed vA and particle B flies off with speed vB also in the +x direction.An amount of heat H = 9 J is produced in the collision due to friction.(Note that we made the masses of the two particles equal, so that should help with the algebra!) (A) Is this a perfectly elastic collision, a partially inelastic collision, or a perfectly inelastic collision? Explain your reasoning. (B) Use conservation of momentum to find an expression for vB. (C) Taking into account the heat H produced, then energy is conserved. Use energy conservation to find an expression for vB^2 . (D) Use your answer from part (B) in part (C) to solve for the final speed of particle A. Give a numerical answer in m/s
A neutron with mass m1 moving with velocity v0 collides elastically and head-on with a target particle with mass m2 that is at rest. After the collision, the neutron moves with velocity v1f and the target particle moves with velocity v2f. Write the two equations that express conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy for this collision. Consider collisions of the neutron (mass = 1.0 atomic mass unit (amu)) with the following stationary target particles an electron (mass =5 x 10-4 amu) a proton (mass = 1.0 amu) the nucleus of a carbon atom (mass = 12.0 amu) the nucleus of a uranium atom (mass = 238 amu) Match some of the collisions above with each of the following head-on collisions that we discussed in lecture: the collision between two billiard balls, one of the billiard balls initially at rest the collision between a ping pong ball and a bowling ball, the ping pong ball initially at rest the collision between a ping pong ball and a bowling ball, the bowling…
Superman leaps in front of Lois Lane to save her from a volley of bullets. In a 1-minute interval, an automatic weapon fires 150 bullets, each of mass 8.0 g, at 4.00 x 102 m/s. The bullets strike his mighty chest, which has an area of 0.75 m2. Find the average force exerted on Superman’s chest if the bullets bounce back after an elastic, head-on collision.
A molecule of mass 3x10-26 kg is moving toward a wall at a speed of 3x105 m/s. It bounces back in exactly the opposite direction going at the same 3x105 m/s. a. What was the magnitude of the change in momentum of the molecule? b. WHat was the magnitude of the impulse applied to the molecule? c. If the molecule interacted with the wall for 1 micro second (10-6s), what was the average force of the wall on the molecule? d. What impulse is applied by the molecule to the wall?
Two atoms collide while moving in a gas. The larger atom has a mass M1 = 6 Daltons and a speed v1 = 230 m/s, while the smaller has a mass M2 = 1 Daltons (D). During the collision both atoms simply bounce off each other. They do not change their speeds, but after the collision they each reverse their directions, bouncing straight back. (You may express your results using the mass unit "Daltons". 1 Dalton is approximately equal to the mass of a proton or neutron and is defined as one-twelfth the mass of a single neutral carbon-12 atom in its ground state.) What is the magnitude of the change in the momentum, Δp1, of mass M1?
