(a) 0 (b) 40 kg m/s (c) 40 kg m/s (d) 30 kg m/s (e) 10 kg m/sarrow_forwardA billiard player sends the cue ball toward a group of three balls that are initially at rest and in contact with one another. After the cue ball strikes the group, the four balls scatter, each traveling in a different direction with different speeds as shown in Figure P10.30. If each ball has the same mass, 0.16 kg, determine the total momentum of the system consisting of the four balls immediately after the collision. FIGURE P10.30arrow_forwardInitially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide in the trough of the track. If m2 = 4 m1 and the collision is elastic, find an expression for the velocity of each ball immediately after the collision. FIGURE P11.40 Problems 40 and 41.arrow_forward

(Do this problem by finding the components of the momentum first, and then constructing the magnitude and direction of the momentum vector from the components.)arrow_forwardA mother pushes her son in a stroller at a constant speed of 1.52 m/s. The boy tosses a 56.7-g tennis ball straight up at 1.75 m/s and catches it. The boys father sits on a bench and watches. a. According to the mother, what are the balls initial and final momenta? b. According to the father, what are the balls initial and final momenta? c. According to the mother, is the balls momentum ever zero? If so, when? If not, why not? d. According to the father, is the balls momentum ever zero? If so, when? If not, why not?arrow_forwardInitially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide elastically in the trough of the track.

- Sand from a stationary hopper falls onto a moving conveyor belt at the rate of 5.00 kg/s as shown in Figure P8.64. The conveyor belt is supported by frictionless rollers and moves at a constant speed of v = 0.750 m/s under the action of a constant horizontal external force Fext supplied by the motor that drives the belt. Find (a) the sands rate of change of momentum in the horizontal direction, (b) the force of friction exerted by the belt on the sand, (c) the external force Fext, (d) the work done by Fext in 1 s, and (e) the kinetic energy acquired by the falling sand each second due to the change in its horizontal motion. (f) Why are the answers to parts (d) and (e) different?
