What is the purpose of the ropes attached to the cannon in Figure 10.10? NEWTONS SECOND LAW APPLIED TO A SYSTEM OF PARTICLES Underlying Principle FIGURE 10.10 When a cannonball is fired, all the cannon must move backward for the momentum of the ballcannon system to be conserved. The backward motion of the cannon is called recoil. The ropes are used to restrain recoil and therefore prevent damage to the ship or crew.
Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A car with mass 1.53 103 kg traveling east at a speed of 26.8 m/s collides at an intersection with a 2.44 103 kg van traveling north at a speed of 18.6 m/s, as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming that the vehicles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision (that is, they stick together) and assuming that friction between the vehicles and the road can be neglected. magnitude= ? m/s direction= ?° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A car with mass 1.40 x 103 kg traveling east at a speed of 29.4 m/s collides at an intersection with a 2.56 x 103 kg van traveling north at a speed of 18.3 m/s, as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming that the vehicles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision (that is, they stick together) and assuming that friction between the vehicles and the road can be neglected.

In the Impulse and Pairs of Forces lab, the impulse of the applied force acting on an object over a given time interval was given as (image) During the labortory, your found that impulse could also be related to motion in a certain way. Restate that simple mathematical realationship here. You also found a simple mathematical realationship between pairs of forces in certain situations. Restate that realationship here. Put these results together to draw a conclusion comparing the motion of two objects before and after a collision. You should be able to find a quantity, which will remain unchanged in a collision. Be sure to justify your reasoning.
