One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large enough to be detected by radar, but there are far greater numbers of very small objects, such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted in newtons by a 0.200 mg chip of paint that strikes a spacecraft window at a relative speed of 4.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10−8 s. (Enter the magnitude.)

In a laboratory experiment, an electron with a kinetic energy of 50.5 keV is shot toward another electron initially at rest (Fig. P11.50). (1 eV = 1.602 1019 J) The collision is elastic. The initially moving electron is deflected by the collision. a. Is it possible for the initially stationary electron to remain at rest after the collision? Explain. b. The initially moving electron is detected at an angle of 40.0 from its original path. What is the speed of each electron after the collision? FIGURE P11.50
A 10 grams bullet moving at a speed of 150 ft/s passes through a plank of wood. After passing through the plank, its speed is 130 ft/s. Another bullet with mass 12 grams, of the same size but moving at 90 ft/s, passes through an identical plank. What will this second bullet’s speed be after passing through the plank? Assume that the resistance offered by the plank is independent of the speed of the bullet. a. 58.59 ft/s2 c. 68.59 ft/s2 b. 48.59 ft/s2 d. 78.59ft/s2
A 2 kg object moving at 3 m/s collides with a 4 kg object that is stationary.

A 15.0-gram wad of sticky, freshly-chewed bubble gum has been thrown towards the north with a speed of 16.0 m/s. Another wad of sticky, freshly-chewed bubble gum with a mass of 12.0 grams has been thrown towards the east with a speed of 13.0 m/s. This one has a speed of 18.0 m/s. The two collide and stick together in a perfectly inelastic collision, making one big gum ball of mass 27.0 grams. Find the final speed and direction of the gum ball.
Have tried to attack this problem in several different ways, mainly I = M1R2+M2R2+ (Icenter+Md2). But that still doesn't seem to work. The answer I got which I thought was right was 0.771 but the teacher still didn't accept it.
Consider an atomic nucleus that’s moving at a speed of 500m/s. This nucleus emits an alpha particle (=nucleus of a Helium atom) in the direction of its velocity, and the new nucleus (produced by the emission of the alpha particle) slows to 450m/s. If the alpha particle has a mass of 4u and the original nucleus has a mass of 208u, what speed does the alpha particle have when it is emitted? (Here u is the atomic mass unit. You could take for u the value of the proton mass, i.e. u = mp = 1.67 × 10−27kg.)
A two-stage rocket (M = 7.50 × 103 kg) initially travels at 4.50 km·s−1 relative to Earth. Explosive charges then separate the capsule (mC = 1.50 × 103 kg) from the booster (mB = 6.00 × 103 kg). After separating, the booster travels at 2.70 km·s−1 along the original direction of motion. a) What was the speed of the capsule just after the stages separated? b) How much energy was released by the explosive charges?
In a ballistic pendulum demonstration gone bad, a 0.54 gg pellet, fired horizontally with kinetic energy 3.30 JJ , passes straight through the 400 gg Styrofoam pendulum block. If the pendulum rises a maximum height of 0.52 m , how much kinetic energy did the pellet have after emerging from the Styrofoam?
