Two blocks of masses m and 3m are placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A light spring is attached to the more massive block, and the blocks are pushed together with the spring between them as shown in the figure below. A cord initially holding the blocks together is burned; after that happens, the block of mass 3m moves to the right with a speed of Vam = 1.75 m/s. What is the velocity of the block of mass m? (Assume right is positive and left is negative.) 3m m Before 3m m After

To find the maximum velocity of two dump trucks connected by a cable. As shown, two dump trucks are connected by a cable. One truck (Truck 1) is loaded, has a maximum engine power P , and is able to attain a maximum speed of v. Another truck (Truck 2) has a maximum engine power 2P and can attain a maximum speed of 1.5v. To solve this problem, assume that each truck, when not attached to the other truck, has a speed that is limited only by wind resistance. Also assume the following: The wind resistance is a constant force (although a different constant for each truck). Therefore, it is independent of a truck’s speed. The wind resistance force on each truck is the same before and after the cable is connected. The power that a truck's engine can generate is independent of that truck's speed. Find vmax, the maximum speed of the two trucks when they are connected. Assume that both engines are running at maximum power. Express your answer in terms of v.
The disc weighing 5 kg was tied with an unextended elastic cord of 0.5 m in length, as shown in the figure. As the disk passes through point B, its speed is vB=5 m/s and the length of the elastic cord is r=1.5 m. a) Determine the speed of the disc when r = 1.2 m, b) the shortening speed of the elastic cord when r = 1.2 m.
A piece of mass M is hung by a string of length L ‌. A ball of mass m = M / 4 has a velocity V• when it hits the piece and sinks into it. As soon as the progress of the bullet in the piece stops completely, the string tension is 2.5Mg. What is the velocity V•?
A football player hits a 180 g ball moving horizontally to the left with a speed of 6 m/s, as shown in the figure. The speed of the ball immediately after the kick is 25 m/s at an angle of 20° to the horizontal. If the ball is in contact with the foot for 0.04 s, find the force exerted on the ball by the foot and the angle it makes with the horizontal.

The second stage of a two-stage rocket weighs 2000 lb (empty) and is launched from the first stage with a velocity of 3000 mi/h. The fuel in the second stage weighs 1000 lb. If it is consumed at the rate of 50lb/s and ejected with a relative velocity of 8000 ft/s, determine the acceleration of the second stage just after the engine is fired. What is the rocket’s acceleration just before all the fuel is consumed? Neglect the effect of gravitation.
An 1800-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.00 m before coming into contact with the top of the beam, and it drives the beam 9.0 cm farther into the ground as it comes to rest. Using energy considerations, calculate the average force the beam exerts on the pile driver while the pile driver is brought to rest. ________ n A 66.0 kg base runner begins his slide into second base when he is moving at a speed of 3.9 m/s. The coefficient of friction between his clothes and Earth is 0.70. He slides so that his speed is zero just as he reaches the base.

A small ball of mass m is placed on top of a large ball of mass 3m. Both balls are dropped simultaneously from a height h = 7 m as shown in the figure. Assuming the radius of the large ball and small are small and thus negligible in comparison to the height they are being dropped meaning the small ball has the same speed the large ball has when it hits the ground. If the large ball rebounds elastically from the floor, collides with the small ball, stops and then the small ball rebounds elastically from the large ball, find the maximum height the small reaches. Hint: Model all collisions as perfectly elastic
The brake mechanism used to reduce recoil on certain types of barrels essentially consists of a piston attached to a barrel that moves in a fixed cylinder.full of oil. When the barrel recoils with an initial velocity Vo, the plunger moves and oil is forced through the holes in the plunger, causing the piston and the barrel to slow down at a rate proportional to their velocity; that is, a = - ku. Express a) U in terms of r, b) x in terms of r, c) U in terms of x. d) Draw the curves of the corresponding movement
