- A 1-oz bullet is fired with a horizontal velocity of 750 mi/h into the 18-lb wooden beam AB. The beam is suspended from a collar of negligible mass that can slide along a horizontal rod. Neglecting friction between the collar and the rod, determine the maximum angle of rotation of the beam during its subsequent motion.arrow_forwardA long-range ballistic trajectory between points A and B on the earth’s surface consists of a portion of an ellipse with the apogee at point C. Knowing that point C is 1500 km above the surface of the earth and the range Rφ of the trajectory is 6000 km, determine (a) the velocity of the projectile at C, (b) the eccentricity ε of the trajectory.arrow_forwardThe slender rod AB of length L = 1 m forms an angle β = 30° with the vertical as it strikes the frictionless surface shown with a vertical velocity v1=2 m/s and no angular velocity. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution between the rod and the ground is e = 0.8, determine the angular velocity of the rod immediately after the impact.arrow_forward
- The greater angle of the launched projectile creates the greater horizontal range.” Do you agree with the statement above? Justify your answer. Use some calculation tosupport your justification.arrow_forwardThe ABC bar has a mass of 2.4 kg and is connected to a support on B. An 800 g D sphere reaches the end A of the bar with a vertical velocity v1 of 3 m / s. Knowing that L = 750 mm and that the coefficient of refund between the sphere and the ABC bar is equal to 0.5, determine immediately after the shock, the angular velocity of the ABC bar and the velocity of the sphere.arrow_forwardA uniform slender bar of length L = 200 mm and mass m = 0.5 kg is supported by a frictionless horizontal table. Initially the bar is spinning about its mass center G with a constant angular speed w1 = 6 rad/s. Suddenly latch D is moved to the right and is struck by end A of the bar. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution between A and D is e= 0.6, determine the angular velocity of the bar and the velocity of its mass center immediately after the impact.arrow_forward

- Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. 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 10.76 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 θ 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 0.001s.arrow_forwardA large 3-lb sphere with a radius r = 3 in. is thrown into a light basket at the end of a thin, uniform rod weighing 2 lb and length L= 10 in. as shown.
