The figure below shows a bullet of mass 200 g traveling horizontally towards the east with speed 400 m/s, which strikes a block of mass 1.5 kg that is initially at rest on a frictionless table. After striking the block, the bullet is embedded in the block and the block and the bullet move together as one unit. a. 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?
A crate of mass M is initially at rest on a level, frictionless table. A small block of mass m (m M) moves toward the crate as shown in Figure P11.13. After the collision, the block sticks to the crate. Is the magnitude of the impulse exerted on the crate by the block greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the impulse exerted on the block by the crate during the collision process? Explain. FIGURE P11.13
a man of mass m1 = 70.0 kg is skating at v1 = 8.00 m/s behind his wife of mass m2 = 50.0 kg, who is skating at v2 = 4.00 m/s. Instead of passing her, he inadvertently collides with her. He grabs her around the waist, and they maintain their balance. (a) Sketch the problem with before-and-after diagrams, representing the skaters as blocks. (b) Is the collision best described as elastic, inelastic, or perfectly inelastic? Why? (c) Write the general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m1, v1, m2, v2, and final velocity vf. (d) Solve the momentum equation for vf. (e) Substitute values, obtaining the numerical value for vf, their speed after the collision.
Review. Two boys are sliding toward each other on a frictionless, ice-covered parking lot. Jacob, mass 45.0 kg, is gliding to the right at 8.00 m/s, and Ethan, mass 31.0 kg, is gliding to the left at 11.0 m/s along the same line. When they meet, they grab each other and hang on. (a) What is their velocity immediately thereafter? (b) What fraction of their original kinetic energy is still mechanical energy after their collision? That was so much fun that the boys repeat the collision with the same original velocities, this time moving along parallel lines 1.20 m apart. At closest approach, they lock arms and start rotating about their common center of mass. Model the boys as particles and their arms as a cord that does not stretch. (c) Find the velocity of their center of mass. (d) Find their angular speed. (e) What fraction of their original kinetic energy is still mechanical energy after they link arms? (f) Why are the answers to parts (b) and (e) so different?
A bomb, initially at rest, explodes into several pieces. (a) Is linear momentum of the system (the bomb before the explosion, the pieces after the explosion) conserved? Explain. (b) Is kinetic energy of the system conserved? Explain.
(a) At what speed would a 2.00104 -kg airplane have to fly to have a momentum of 1.60109kgm/s (the same as the ship's momentum in the problem above)? (b) What is the plane's momentum when it is taking off at a speed of 60.0 m/s? (c) If the ship is an aircraft carrier that launches these airplanes with a catapult, discuss the implications of your answer to (b) as it relates to recoil effects of the catapult on the ship.
An elephant and a hunter are having a confrontation. a. Calculate the momentum of the 2000.0-kg elephant charging the hunter at a speed of 7.50 m/s. b. Calculate the ratio of the elephant’s momentum to the momentum of a 0.0400-kg tranquilizer dart fired at a speed of 600 m/s. c. What is the momentum of the 90.0-kg hunter running at 7.40 m/s after missing the elephant?
Two blocks collide on a frictionless surface. After the collision, the blocks stick together. Block A has a mass M and is initially moving to the right at speed v. Block B has a mass 2M and is initially at rest. System C is composed of both blocks, (a) Draw a force diagram for each block at an instant during the collision, (b) Rank the magnitudes of the horizontal forces in your diagram. Explain your reasoning, (c) Calculate the change in momentum of block A, block B, and system C. (d) Is kinetic energy conserved in this collision? Explain your answer.

A car crashes into a large tree that does not move. The car goes from 30 m/s to 0 in 1.3 m. (a) What impulse is applied to the driver by the seatbelt, assuming he follows the same motion as the car? (b) What is the average force applied to the driver by the seatbelt?

A wooden block of mass M rests on a table over a large hole as in Figure P9.39. A bullet of mass m with an initial velocity of vi is fired upward into the bottom of the block and remains in the block after the collision. The block and bullet rise to a maximum height of h.

(a) Describe the subsequent motion of the girl. (b) How much potential energy in the girls body is converted into mechanical energy of the boygirl system? (c) Is the momentum of the boygirl system conserved in the pushing-apart process? If so, explain how that is possible considering (d) there are large forces acting and (e) there is no motion beforehand and plenty of motion afterward.
