A bullet of mass 50 gm is fired into a freely suspended target of 2.5 kg. On impact, the target moves with a velocity of 2.5 m/s. Find the velocity of the bullet and the loss of kinetic energy, if the impact is perfectly inelastic. Hint. After impact, the bullet and target will move with the same velocity.
A ballistic pendulum has a mass of 1.00 kg, it hangs from a string at rest when a bullet, mass 100.0 g is fired into it. The bullets speed is 50 m/s when it hits a pendulum. The two rise together immediately following the perfectly inelastic collision. Use the conservation of momentum and energy to determine how high they rise after the Impact.
A 5.8 x 104 kg train car at rest is struck from behind by a second train car, traveling at 2.6 m/s. The collision is completely inelastic so the cars stick together. The mass of the second car is 7.4 x 104 kg.
A 25-kg box of books is dropped on the floor from a height of 1.1 ? and comes to rest. What impulse did the floor exert on the box?
if the velocity of the moving body is doubled, what does this do to kinetic energy and momentum of the body?
A body weighing 2 kg moves with a velocity of 3 m/s and overtakes another body weighing 3 kg moving at 1 m/s. Find the velocities of the bodies after collision if: (1) the impact is inelastic, (2) the impact is elastic. The bodies move in a straight line and the impact is central.
Consider the physics of a rear-end automobile collision in which both cars are engineered to absorb as much energy by crumpling as possible on impact in order to lessen injury to its occupants. One of the vehicles is stopped at a light, the other runs into it from the rear at 60 km/h. Assume both vehicles have a mass of 1300 kg and that there are unrestrained occupants in both with masses of 75 kg. 1. Within the frame of reference of each car, how much momentum does an occupant have after the collision? 2. If the occupant of the incident car is not protected by an air bag, with what velocity in m/s does he strike the windscreen following the collision? 3. Assuming the collision duration is 0.2 seconds, what acceleration backward does the occupant of the stationary car feel on impact? (Compare to the acceleration of gravity.
The 6-lb bag in the figure is released from θ = 0 to θ = 90, where it strikes Box B, weighing 18 lb. If the coefficient of restitution between the objects is 0.5, determine the velocity of each object after the impact and the loss of energy experienced.
Suppose a lump of clay has a mass of 0.2 kg and it slides without friction across ice at a speed of 0.75 m/s. It collides with another lump of clay that is at rest and that has a mass of 0.35 kg. If the two lumps of clay stick together, what is their speed after the collision?
A 0.5 KG ball moving at 5m/s strikes a wall and rebounds in the opposite direction with the speed of 2M/S if the impulse a cruise for a time duration of 0.01 as then the average four is acting up on the ball is what
You want to estimate from how high if it is safe to jump onto a concrete floor. For this, you consider impulse and the force of impact.If you jump from a chair of height of 0.50 m, and land on a concrete floor with stiff legs, it just starts to hurt. Therefore, you consider the average force on your body in such a landing to be your ‘safe limit’. In this case, you estimate that your body moves by about 0.75 cm during the landing. If you allow yourself to bend your knees upon landing on the same concrete floor, you are able to mitigate the force of impact. You estimate that, when bending your knees during landing, your body moves by about a foot, or 0.30 m. For the purpose of this exercise, you consider yourself with a mass of 60 kg. Given the estimates made above, from how high can you safely jump onto a concrete floo
