During a lunar mission, it is necessary to increase the speed of a spacecraft by 2.2 m/s when it is moving at 400 m/s relative to the Moon. The speed of the exhaust products from the rocket engine is 1000 m/s relative to the spacecraft. What fraction of the initial mass of the spacecraft must be burned and ejected to accomplish the speed increase?
In a perfect inelastic collision, the momentum is conserved even though the KE of the colliding body decreases. Explain.
A 12-kg hammer strikes a nail at a velocity of 7.5 m/s and comes to rest in a time interval of 8.0 ms. What is the impulsive given to the nail?
A girl weighing 530 N jumps from a tree, and her center of mass falls a vertical distance of 1.50 m. Find the impulse necessary to bring her to rest.Over what time interval must the deceleration last in order that the average force does not exceed 225 N?
An 8.00 kg shell at rest explodes in two fragments, with mass ratio of 3:2. If the lighter fragment gains 90.0 J of kinetic energy from the explosion, how much kinetic energy does the heavier fragment gain?
During world war 2, a military parachutist fell 0.37km from an airplane without being able to open his chute, but luckily was able to land in snow, suffering only with minor injuries. Assume that his speed at impact was 56m/s, and his mass, including his gear was 85kg, and that the magnitude of force on him from the snow was at the survivable limit of 1.2 x 10^5 N. What is the magnitude of the impulse on him from the snow? (Answer in one decimal place, no unit) sample answer: 1.1 x 10^3 (enter the 1.1 only)
Po-204 (mass=204 amu) goes alpha decay. Show that, as a result of ejecting alpha particle (He-4, mass=4 amu), the daughter nucleus recoils with a speed equal to 2% that of the alpha particle.
An unmanned space probe (of mass m and speed v relative tothe Sun) approaches the planet Jupiter (of mass Mand speed VJ relativeto the Sun) The spacecraft rounds theplanet and departs in the opposite direction.What is its speed (inkilometers per second), relative to the Sun, after this slingshot encounter,which can be analyzed as a collision? Assume v = 10.5 km/sand VJ=13.0 km/s (the orbital speed of Jupiter).The mass of Jupiteris very much greater than the mass of the spacecraft (M = m).
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.
