A projectile has a momentum of 1.6x106 Ns and a speed of 200 m/s. What is its mass and weight? Show the figure/fbd, given and formula used.
If the rocket sled shown in the previous problem starts with only one rocket burning, what is the magnitude of this acceleration? Assume that the mass of the system is 2.10103kg , the thrust Tis 2.40104N , and the force of friction opposing the motion is 650.0 N. (b) Why is the acceleration n one-fourth of what it is with all rockets burning?
What is the significance of the center of mass in a physical system and how is it determined mathematically?
If a 1401 kg car, moving at 4 m/s north, hits and sticks to a 3121 kg truck, moving at 7 m/s south, and they travel off together at the same speed, find that speed. Hint: here the masses are moving in opposite directions, so the velocities should have opposite signs. Call North positive and South negative. Use the "hit and stick" or inelastic formula Also, a positive answer would indicate motion to the north and a negative answer would show southward motion - leave positive/negative in your answer.
Suppose the same masses are used for a force table experiment as were used in Part 1, but each pulley is moved 1800 so that the 0.100 kg mass acts at 2000, and the 0.200 kg mass acts at 2700. What is the magnitude of the resultant in this case? How does it compare to the resultant in Part 1? SEE IMAGES FOR DETAILS
Initially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in the figure below. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide elastically in the trough of the track. If m2 = 9m1, m1 = 0.040 kg, and h = 0.35 m, what is the velocity of each ball after the collision? (Assume the balls slide but do not roll. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Positive is to the right, and negative is to the left. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—
A rod is positioned along the z-axis such that one of its ends is at z = L, and the other one is at z = 2L. The linear mass density of the rod is 2/z3. Find the center of mass of this rod, and express your answer as a multiple of L, to three decimal places. For example, if the center of mass is at z = 0.5L, enter 0.500. Hint: when simplifying, keep everything in fractions!
