Three runaway train cars are moving on a frictionless, horizontal track in a railroad yard as shown in Figure P11.73. The first car, with mass m1 = 1.50 103 kg, is moving to the right with speed v1 = 10.0 m /s; the second car, with mass m2 = 2.50 103 kg, is moving to the left with speed v2 = 5.00 m/s, and the third car, with mass m3 = 1.20 103 kg, is moving to the left with speed v3 = 8.00 m /s. The three railroad cars collide at the same instant and couple, forming a train of three cars. a. What is the final velocity of the train cars immediately after the collision? b. Would the answer to part (a) change if the three cars did not collide at the same instant? Explain. FIGURE P11.73
A space probe, initially at rest, undergoes an internal mechanical malfunction and breaks into three pieces. One piece of mass ml = 48.0 kg travels in the positive x-direction at 12.0 m/s, and a second piece of mass m2 = 62.0 kg travels in the xy-plane at an angle of 105 at 15.0 m/s. The third piece has mass m3 = 112 kg. (a) Sketch a diagram of the situation, labeling the different masses and their velocities, (b) Write the general expression for conservation of momentum in the x- and y-directions in terms of m1, m2, m3, v1, v2 and v3 and the sines and cosines of the angles, taking to be the unknown angle, (c) Calculate the final x-components of the momenta of m1 and m2. (d) Calculate the final y-components of the momenta of m1 and m2. (e) Substitute the known momentum components into the general equations of momentum for the x- and y-directions, along with the known mass m3. (f) Solve the two momentum equations for v3 cos and v3 sin , respectively, and use the identity cos2 + sin2 = 1 to obtain v3. (g) Divide the equation for v3 sin by that for v3 cos to obtain tan , then obtain the angle by taking the inverse tangent of both sides, (h) In general, would three such pieces necessarily have to move in the same plane? Why?
A cannon is rigidly attached to a carriage, which can move along horizontal rails but is connected to a post by a large spring, initially unstretchcd and with force constant k = 2.00 104 N/m, as shown in Figure P8.60. The cannon fires a 200-kg projectile at a velocity of 125 m/s directed 45.0 above the horizontal. (a) Assuming that the mass of the cannon and its carriage is 5 000 kg, find the recoil speed of the cannon. (b) Determine the maximum extension of the spring. (c) Find the maximum force the spring exerts on the carriage. (d) Consider the system consisting of the cannon, carriage, and projectile. Is the momentum of this system conserved during the firing? Why or why not?
A person of mass 86.5 kg is initially at rest on the edge of a large stationary platform of mass 190 kg, supported by frictionless wheels on a horizontal surface. The person jumps off the platform, traveling a horizontal distance of 1.00 m while falling a vertical distance of 0.500 m to the ground. What is the final speed of the platform? please solve
The Zacchini family was renowned for their human- cannonball act in which a family member was shot from a cannon using either elastic bands or compressed air. In one version of the act, Emanuel Zacchini was shot over three Ferris wheels to land in a net at the same height as the open end of the cannon and at a range of 69 m. He was propelled inside the barrel for 5.2 m and launched at an angle of 53. If his mass was 85 kg and he underwent constant acceleration inside the barrel, what was the magnitude of the force propelling him? (Hint: Treat the launch as though it were along a ramp at 53. Neglect air drag.)
A car with mass mc=1270kg is traveling west through an intersection with a speed of vc=14.41m/s when a truck of mass mt=1740kg traveling south at vt=6.63m/s fails to yield. The vehicles collide, they stick together, and they slide on the asphalt which has a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk=0.500. Associate the positive x direction with east and the positive y direction with north. a. Using the symbols provided in the palette below as opposed to their numeric equivalents, enter an expression, in Cartesian unit-vector notation, for the velocity of the vehicles immediately after the collision, as they begin to slide as a composite object. b. How far, in meters, will the vehicles slide after the collision?

A pendulum of length L = 1.0 meter and bob of mass m = 1.0 kg is released from rest at an angle θ = 30 degrees. When the pendulum reaches the vertical position, the bob strikes a cube with mass M = 3.0 kg that is resting on a frictionless table of height h = 0.85 m. d. Determine how far away from the bottom edge of the table, Δx, the cube will strike the floor e. At the location where the cube would have struck the floor, there is now a small cart of mass M = 3.0 kg and negligible height. The cube lands on the cart, and sticks to the cart in a completely *inelastic* collision. Ignore friction. Calculate the horizontal velocity of the cart just after the cube lands on it.
In an intersection, a bus moving at (100i) m/s and a truck moving at (200j) m/s collided with each other. Assuming that the two objects have the same mass, what would be their final speed together? Note: i and j are unit vectors CHOICES: - 300 m/s - 173.21 m/s - 100 m/s - 223.61 m/s
Hi I am in physics I, and they have the problem: In a baseball game, the 145g ball reaches the batter with a speed of 15.0m/s. The batter hits the ball with a force as shown in exact oppositie direction. The peak force (F max) is 1500N. Find the ball speed right after the hit. It was solved like: J= mvf - mvi area=1/2*b8h J= area = 1500(6)/2 + 1500(2)/2 J=6000 J=6.0 N*s 6.0 N*s = (0.1 +5kg)vf - (0.145kg)(-15) solve for vf vf=26.38 I really don't understand where 0.1 came from. If you can just break down i bit how this is solve that would be great. Thanks!
The drawing shows a top view of a frictionless horizontal surface, where there are two springs with particles of mass m1 and m2 attached to them. Each spring has a spring constant of 250 N/m. The particles are pulled to the right and then released from the positions shown in the drawing. How much time passes before the particles are side by side for the first time at x = 0 m if (a) m1 = m2 = 6.0 kg and (b) m1 = 6.0 kg and m2 = 54 kg?
