A 2-kg object moving to the right with a speed of 4 m/s makes a head-on, elastic collision with a 1-kg object that is initially at rest. The velocity of the 1-kg object after the collision is (a) greater than 4 m/s, (b) less than 4 m/s, (c) equal to 4 m/s, (d) zero, or (e) impossible to say based on the information provided.
A car of mass 750 kg traveling at a velocity of 27 m/s in the positive x-direction crashes into the rear of a truck of mass 1 500 kg that is at rest and in neutral at an intersection. If the collision is inelastic and the truck moves forward at 15.0 m/s, what is the velocity of the car after the collision? (See Section 6.3.)
In an elastic collision, a 400-kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling in the same direction. The initial speed of the leading bumper car is 5.60 m/s and that of the trailing car is 6.00 m/s. Assuming that the mass of the drivers is much, much less than that of the bumper cars, what are their final speeds?
A head-on, elastic collision occurs between two billiard balls of equal mass. If a red ball is traveling to the right with speed v and a blue ball is traveling to the left with speed 3v before the collision, what statement is true concerning their velocities subsequent to the collision? Neglect any effects of spin. (a) The red ball travels to the left with speed v, while the blue ball travels to the right with speed 3v. (b) The red ball travels to the left with speed v, while the blue ball continues to move to the left with a speed 2v. (c) The red ball travels to the left with speed 3v, while the blue ball travels to the right with speed v. (d) Their final velocities cannot be determined because momentum is not conserved in the collision. (e) The velocities cannot be determined without knowing the mass of each ball.
A projectile of mass 2.0 kg is fired in the air at an angle of 40.0 to the horizon at a speed of 50.0 m/s. At the highest point in its flight, the projectile breaks into three parts of mass 1.0 kg, 0.7 kg, and 0.3 kg. The 1.0-kg part falls straight down after breakup with an initial speed of 10.0 m/s, the 0.7-kg part moves in the original forward direction, and the 0.3-kg part goes straight up. Launch a. Find the speeds of the 0.3-kg and 0.7-kg pieces immediately after the break-up. b. How high from the break-up point does the 0.3-kg piece go before coming to rest? c. Where does the 0.7-kg piece land relative to where it was fired from?
What exhaust speed is required to accelerate a rocket in deep space from 800 m/s to 1000 m/s in 5.0 s if the total rocket mass is 1200 kg and the rocket only has 50 kg of fuel left?
A tennis ball of mass 57.0 g is held just above a basketball of mass 590 g. With their centers vertically aligned, both balls are released from rest at the same time, falling through a distance of 1.20 m, as shown in Figure P6.45. (a) Find the magnitude of the basketballs velocity the instant before the basketball reaches the ground. (b) Assume that an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball so that it collides with the tennis ball just above it. To what height does the tennis ball rebound? Figure P6.45
In a slow-pitch softball game, a 0.200-kg softball crosses the plate at 15.0 m/s at an angle of 45.0 below the horizontal. The batter hits the ball toward center field, giving it a velocity of 40.0 m/s at 30.0 above the horizontal. (a) Determine the impulse delivered to the ball. (b) If the force on the ball increases linearly for 4.00 ms, holds constant for 20.0 ms, and then decreases linearly to zero in another 4.00 ms, what is the maximum force on the ball?
Two blocks of masses m1 and m2 approach each other on a horizontal table with the same constant speed, v0, as measured by a laboratory observer. The blocks undergo a perfectly elastic collision, and it is observed that m1 stops but m2 moves opposite its original motion with some constant speed, v. (a) Determine the ratio of the two masses, m1/m2. (b) What is the ratio of their speeds, v/v0?
A boy of mass mb and his girlfriend of mass mg, both wearing ice skates, face each other at rest while standing on a frictionless ice rink. The boy pushes the girl, giving her a velocity vg toward the east. Assume that mb mg. (a) Describe the subsequent motion of the boy. (b) Find expressions for the final kinetic energy of the girl and the final kinetic energy of the boy, and show that the girl has greater kinetic energy than the boy. (c) The boy and girl had zero kinetic energy before the boy pushed the girl, but ended up with kinetic energy after the event. How do you account for the appearance of mechanical energy?
What is the average momentum of an avalanche that moves a 40-cm-thick layer of snow over an area of 100 m by 500 m over a distance of 1 km down a hill in 5.5 s? Assume a density of 350kg/m3 for the snow.
A boy standing at one end of a floating raft that is stationary relative to the shore walks to the opposite end of the raft, away from the shore. As a consequence, the raft (a) remains stationary, (b) moves away from the shore, or (c) moves toward the shore. (Hint: Use conservation of momentum.)
