A cruise ship with a mass of 1.00107kg strikes a pier at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It comes to rest after traveling 6.00 m, damaging the ship, the pier, and the tugboat captain’s finances. Calculate the average force exerted on the pier using the concept of impulse. (Hint: First calculate the time it took to bring the ship to rest, assuming a constant force.)
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.
Can objects in a system have momentum while the momentum of the system is zero? Explain your answer.
Professional Application Suppose a child drives a bumper car head on into the side rail, which exerts a force of 4000 N on the car for 0.200 s. (a) What impulse is imparted by this force? (b) Find the final velocity of the bumper car if its initial velocity was 2.80 m/s and the car plus driver have a mass of 200 kg. You may neglect friction between the car and floor.
A cruise ship with a mass of 1.00107 kg strikes a pier at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It comes to rest 6.00 m later, damaging the ship, the pier, and the tugboat captain's finances. Calculate the average force exerted on the pier using the concept of impulse. (Hint: First calculate the time it took to bring the ship to rest.)
Is it possible for a small force to produce a larger impulse on a given object than a large force? Explain.
A piece of putty and a tennis ball with the same mass are thrown against a wall with the same velocity. Which object experience a greater impulse from the wall or are the impulses equal? Explain.
A skater is standing still on a frictionless ice rink. Her friend throws a Frisbee straight to her. In which of the following cases is the largest momentum transferred to the skater? (a) The skater catches the Frisbee and holds onto it. (b) The skater catches the Frisbee momentarily, but then drops it vertically downward, (c) The skater catches the Frisbee, holds it momentarily, and throws it back to her friend.
Must the total energy of a system be conserved whenever its momentum is conserved? Explain why or why not.
