- Q8/ Two locomotives at opposite ends of a 7-km-long track, fired them up, tied their throttles open, and then allowed them to crash head-on at full speed. Assuming each locomotive weighed 2 x 10° N and its acceleration was a constant 0.2 m/s, what was the total kinetic energy of the two locomotives just before the collision?arrow_forwardA bullet flying horizontally hits a wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The bullet gets stuck in the block, and the bullet–block system has a final speed vf. Find the final speed of the bullet–block system in terms of the mass of the bullet mb, the speed of the bullet before the collision vb, the mass of the block mwb, and the amount of thermal energy generated during the collision Eth.arrow_forwardQuestion 19 A 0.01kg bullet is shot upward (+y axis) at 3600kph and hits and passes through the center of mass of a 5kg stationary block. The bullet emerges from the block and continues to move upward at 1440kph. To what maximum height does the block then rise above from its original position? (Answer in 3 decimal places, no unit) UNIT: marrow_forward
- A 12 kg block, initially moving to the right, collides with a stationary 18 kg block, causing the 18 kg to move off to the right. The collision is perfectly elastic. We may conclude that after the collision, the 12 kg block will stop. move to the right with less speed than it had before the collision. move to the right with the same speed that it had before the collision. move to the left with less speed than it had before the collision. move to the left with the same speed that it had before the collision.arrow_forwardMuskox: In the arctic, male muskoxen compete for the attention of females by butting heads. On a cold day (-16.3 degree F), a young bull spies an older bull 13.9 m away and charges! The two meet in a head-on collision and come to a complete stop. The young bull has a mass of 681 kg and was running at a speed of 9.5 m/s. The older bull has a mass of 654 kg. The collision takes place on an icy patch, so you can ignore friction. (a) What was the speed of the older bull? (b) How many joules of energy were "lost" in this collision?arrow_forwardCollisions: in a perfectly ELASTIC collision between two perfectly rigid objects:arrow_forward
- A 61g ball traveling at 6.3 m/s is caught by a 220g pendulum bob. The center of mass of the pendulum / ball system reaches a maximum height of 10.4 cm (relative to the initial rest position) after the collision. Calculate the kinetic energy of the pendulum/ball system in the instant after the collision (Kball+bob). Use L=30.2cm and R=26.3cmarrow_forwardAn isolated system consists of two objects, A and B, moving without friction along a horizontal x-axis. The figure shows the initial masses and speeds of these objects. 7.00 m s-¹ 2.00 kg A Check 5.00 m s-¹ Final kinetic energy initial kinetic energy = || 3.00 kg The two objects then suffer an inelastic collision, after which they remain stuck together, traveling as a single composite object, confined to the x-axis. None of these objects rotates. - B What is the difference between the final kinetic energy of the composite object and the total initial kinetic energy of A and B?
