A 1-kg block B is moving with a velocity v0 of magnitude v0 = 2 m/s as it hits the 0.5-kg sphere A , which is at rest and hanging from a cord attached at 0 . Knowing that μk= 0.6 between the block and the horizontal surface and e = 0.8 between the block and the sphere, determine after impact (a) the maximum height h reached by the sphere, (b) the distance x traveled by the block.
A 5-kg collar A is at rest on top of, but not attached to, a spring with stiffness k1 = 400 N/m when a constant 150-N force is applied to the cable. Knowing A has a speed of 1 m/s when the upper spring is compressed 75 mm, determine the spring stiffness k2 . Ignore friction and the mass of the pulley.
Two spheres, each of mass m, can slide freely on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Sphere A is moving at a speed v0 = 16 ft/s when it strikes sphere B which is at rest, and the impact causes sphere B to break into two pieces, each of mass m/2.a) Knowing that 0.7 s after the collision one piece reaches Point C and 1.17 s after the collision the other piece reaches Point D, determine the velocity of sphere A after the collision.b) Knowing that 0.7 s after the collision one piece reaches Point C and 1.17 s after the collision the other piece reaches Point D, determine the angle θ and the speeds of the two pieces after the collision.

- Conservation of Linear Momentum for a System of Particles Two spheres A and B (of mass m each) were fired vertically from the ground with different initial velocities at different times. When sphere A reached its summit, sphere B, with an upward velocity of 17 m/s, created a head on collision with A. The impact caused sphere A to break into two pieces, each of mass m/2. Knowing one piece reached Point C and the other piece reached point D after the collision, determine (a) the velocity of sphere B after the collision; (b) the angle and the speeds of the two pieces after the collision; and (c) the force exerted by sphere A on B if the collision occurred in 0.001 s.arrow_forwardA 2000-kg automobile starts from rest at point A on a 6° incline and coasts through a distance of 150 m to point B.

Rock A falls a distance of 20 m before striking an incline with a slope of α = 40o.
