An amateur skater of mass M is trapped in the middle of an ice rink and is unable to return to the side where there is no ice. Every motion she makes causes her to slip on the ice and remain in the same spot. She decides to try to return to safety by throwing her gloves of mass m in the direction opposite the safe side. (a) She throws the gloves as hard as she can, and they leave her hand with a horizontal velocity vgloves. Explain whether or not she moves. (b) If she does move, calculate her velocity vgirl relative to the Earth after she throws the gloves. (c) Discuss her motion from the point of view of the forces acting on her.
Professional Application Two manned satellites approaching one another, at a relative speed of 0.250 m/s, intending to dock. The first has a mass of 4.00103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50103 kg (a) Calculate the final velocity (after docking) by using the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest. (b) What is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) Repeat both parts by using the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. Explain why the change in velocity is different in the two frames, whereas the change in kinetic energy is the same in both.
Starting with equations m1v1=m1v1cos1+m2v2cos2 and 0=m1v1cos1+m2v2sin2 for conservation of momentum in the x- and y -directions and assuming that one object is originally stationary, prove that for an elastic collision of two objects of equal masses, 12mv12=12mv22+mv1v2cos(12) as discussed in the text.
A wooden block of mass M rests on a table over a large hole as in Figure P6.84. A bullet of mass m with an initial velocity 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 how you would find the initial velocity of the bullet using ideas you have learned in this topic. (b) Find an expression for the initial velocity of the bullet. Figure P6.84 Problems 84 and 85.
Professional Application It is possible for the velocity of a rocket to be greater than the exhaust velocity of the gases it ejects. When that is the case, the gas velocity and gas momentum are in the same direction as that of the rocket. How is the rocket still able to obtain thrust by ejecting the gases?
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.
Professional Application (a) A 5.00-kg squid initially at rest ejects 0.250-kg of fluid with a velocity of 10.0 m/s. What is the recoil velocity of the squid if the ejection is done in 0.100 s and there is a 5.00-N frictional force opposing the squid's movement. (b) How much energy is lost to work done against friction?
Two particles of masses m1 and m2 , move uniformly in different circles of radii R1 and R2 R2 about origin in the x, y-plane. The x- and y-coordinates of the center of mass and that of particle 1 are given as follows (where length is in meters and tin seconds): x1(t)=4cos(2t) , y1(t)=4sin(2t) and: xCM(t)=4cos(2t) , yCM(t)=3sin(2t) . a. Find the radius of the circle in which particle 1 moves. b. Find the x- and y-coordinates of particle 2 and the radius of the circle this particle moves.
If a rainstorm drops 1 cm of rain over an area of 10km2 in the period of 1 hour, what is the momentum of the rain that falls in one second? Assume the terminal velocity of a raindrop is 10 m/s.
Professional Application What is the acceleration of a 5000-kg rocket taking off from the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is only 1.6m/s2, if the rocket expels 8.00 kg of gas per second at an exhaust velocity of 2.20103 m/s?
Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange and the other green, are involved in a perfectly elastic glancing collision. The green disk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk moving initially to the right at 5.00 m/s as in Figure P6.40a. After the collision, the orange disk moves in a direction that make an angle of 37.0 with the horizontal axis while the green disk makes an angle of 53.0 with this axis as in Figure P6.40b. Determine the speed of each disk after the collision. Figure P6.40
A ball of mass 250 g is thrown with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 30 with the horizontal direction. Ignore air resistance. What is the momentum of the ball after 0.2 s? (Do this problem by finding the components of the momentum first, and then constructing the magnitude and direction of the momentum vector from the components.)
