An object attached to a rope is released from rest where the rope is in a horizontal position. At the lowest point in its swing, a bullet moving in the opposite direction hits the block and lodges deeply into it. As a result of this impact, both the bullet and the block are stationary. What is the magnitude of the bullet's velocity just befote hitting the block? Take the mass of the block to be 2.0 kg, the mass of the bullet to be 8.0 g and the length of the rope to be 1.8 m.
If you free the cork in a highly pressurized champagne bottle, the resulting launch of the cork will, in principle, cause the bottle to recoil. A filled champagne bottle has a mass of 1.8 kg. The cork has a mass of 7.5 g and is launched at 20 m/s. If the bottle could move freely, with what speed would it recoil? Is this something you are likely to notice?
A 1200-kg car moving at 15.6 m/s suddenly collides with a stationary car of mass 1500 kg. If the two vehicles lock together, what is their combined velocity immediately after the collision? 6.9 m/s 5.5 m/s 8.6 m/s 12.1 m/s No answer
1. In an intersection, a bus moving at (100i) m/s and a truck moving at (200j) m/s collided with each other. Assuming that the two objects have the same mass, what would be their final speed together? 2. A ball is speeding up along a circular track. What can be said about the velocity and acceleration vectors on the body?
A 0.140 kg baseball is thrown with a velocity of 26.9 m/s. It is struck with an average force of 5000.0 N, which results in a velocity of 37.0 m/s in the opposite direction. How long were the bat and ball in contact? 4.3*10^-3 1.28 × 10-2 s 3.07 × 10-2 s 1.79 × 10-3 s
A bullet with a mass of 0.01 kg is tired horizontally into a block of wood hanging on a string. The bullet sticks in the wood and causes it to swing upward to a height of 0.1 m. If the mass of the wood block is 2 kg, what was the initial speed of the bullet?
Two figure skaters are coasting in the same direction, with the leading skater moving at 5.5 m/s and the trailing skating moving at 6.2 m/s. When the trailing skater catches up with the leading skater, he picks her up without applying any horizontal forces on his skates. If the trailing skater is 50 heavier than the 50-kg leading skater, what is their speed after he picks her up?
How much fuel would be needed for a 1000-kg rocket (this is its mass with no fuel) to take off from Earth and reach 1000 m/s in 30 s? The exhaust speed is 1000 m/s.
A 0.0250-kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 550 m/s in a 3.00-kg rifle. The pain of the rifle's kick is much worse if you hold the gun loosely a few centimeters from your shoulder rather than holding it tightly against your shoulder. (a) Calculate the recoil velocity of the rifle if it is held loosely away from the shoulder. (b) How much kinetic energy does the rifle gain? (c) What is the recoil velocity if the rifle is held tightly against the shoulder, making the effective mass 28.0 kg? (d) How much kinetic energy is transferred to the rifle shoulder combination? The pain is related to the amount of kinetic energy, which is significantly less in this latter situation. (e) Calculate the momentum of a 110-kg football player running at 8.00 m/s. Compare the player's momentum with the momentum of a hard-thrown 0.410-kg football that has a speed of 25.0 m/s. Discuss its relationship to this problem.
A 735 kg car moving at 17.3 m/s hits from behind another car moving at 9.2 m/s in the same direction. If the second car has a mass of 779 kg and a new speed of 0.0 m/s, what is the velocity of the first car after the collision? 7.55 m/s 26.0 m/s 27.1 m/s -27.1 m/s
