The coefficient of restitution is 0.9 between the two 60-mm-diameter billiard balls A and B . Ball A is moving in the direction shown with a velocity of 1 m/s when it strikes ball B , which is at rest. Knowing that after impact B is moving in the x direction, determine (a) the angle 0, (b) the velocity of B after impact.
A 1.5-lb ball that can slide on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a fixed point O by means of an elastic cord of constant k= 1 lb/in. and undeformed length 2 ft. The ball is placed at point A, 3 ft from O , and given an initial velocity v0 perpendicular to OA ., allowing the ball to come within a distance d = 9 in. of point O after the cord has become slack. Determine (a) the initial speed v0 of the ball, (b) its maximum speed.
At engine burnout on a mission, a shuttle had reached point A at an altitude of 40 mi above the surface of the earth and had a horizontal velocity v0. Knowing that its first orbit was elliptic and that the shuttle was transferred to a circular orbit as it passed through point B at an altitude of 170 mi, determine (a) the time needed for the shuttle to travel from A to B on its original elliptic orbit, (b) the periodic time of the shuttle on its final circular orbit.

The package travels without friction along a circle of radius r and is deposited on a horizontal surface at C.

The upper block is suddenly removed. Determine (a) the maximum speed reached by the 2-kg block, (b) the maximum height reached by the 2-kg block.arrow_forwardA 40-Mg boxcar A is moving in a railroad switchyard with a velocity of 9 km/h toward cars B and C , which are both at rest with their brakes off at a short distance from each other. Car B is a 25-Mg flatcar supporting a 30-Mg container, and car C is a 35-Mg boxcar. As the cars hit each other they get automatically and tightly coupled. Determine the velocity of car A immediately after each of the two couplings, assuming that the container (a) does not slide on the flatcar, (b) slides after the first coupling but hits a stop before the second coupling occurs, (c) slides and hits the stop only after the second coupling has occurred.arrow_forwardThree identical small spheres, each weighting 2 lb, can slide freely on a horizontal frictionless surface. Spheres B and C are connected by a light rod and are at rest in the position shown when sphere B is struck squarely by sphere A, which is moving to the right with a velocity v0 = (8 ft/s)i . Knowing that θ = 30° and that the velocities of spheres A and B immediately after the impact are vA = (0.5 ft/s)i and vB = (3.75 ft/s)i + (vB)yj, determine (vB)y and the velocity of C immediately after impact.arrow_forward

The acceleration of gravity at this elevation is 6.43 m/s2. Determine the linear momentum of the satellite, knowing that its orbital speed is 25.6 × 103 km/h.arrow_forwardThe system shown is at rest when a constant 250-N force is applied to block A.

- In Prob. 13.109, a space vehicle was in a circular orbit at an altitude of 225 mi above the surface of the earth. To return to earth it decreased its speed as it passed through A by firing its engine for a short interval of time in a direction opposite to the direction of its motion. Its resulting velocity as it reached point B at an altitude of 40 mi formed an angle fB = 60° with the vertical. An alternative strategy for taking the space vehicle out of its circular orbit would be to turn it around so that its engine pointed away from the earth and then give it an incremental velocity DvA toward the center O of the earth. This would likely require a smaller expenditure of energy when firing the engine at A, but might result in too fast a descent at B. Assuming that this strategy is used, use computational software to determine the values of fB and vB for an energy expenditure ranging from 5 to 100 percent of that needed in Prob. 13.109. 13.109. A space vehicle is in a circular…arrow_forwardCar A was traveling west at a speed of 15 m/s and car B was traveling north at an unknown speed when they slammed into each other at an intersection. Upon investigation it was found that after the crash the two cars got stuck and skidded off at an angle of 50° north of east. Knowing the masses of A and B are m mA and mB, respectively, draw the impulse-momentum diagram that can be used to determine the velocity of B before impact.arrow_forwardThe subway train shown is traveling at a speed of 30 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied on the wheels of cars B and C , causing them to slide on the track, but are not applied on the wheels of car A. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.35 between the wheels and the track, determine (a) the distance required to bring the train to a stop, (b) the force in each coupling.arrow_forward
