- Professional Application Two manned satellites approach one another at a relative speed of 0.250 m/s, intending to dock. The first has a mass of 4.00103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50103 kg. If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity?arrow_forwardIn an elastic collision, a 400-kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling in the same direction. The initial speed of the leading bumper car is 5.60 m/s and that of the trailing car is 6.00 m/s. Assuming that the mass of the drivers is much, much less than that of the bumper cars, what are their final speeds?arrow_forwardIn a slow-pitch softball game, a 0.200-kg softball crosses the plate at 15.0 m/s at an angle of 45.0 below the horizontal. The batter hits the ball toward center field, giving it a velocity of 40.0 m/s at 30.0 above the horizontal. (a) Determine the impulse delivered to the ball. (b) If the force on the ball increases linearly for 4.00 ms, holds constant for 20.0 ms, and then decreases linearly to zero in another 4.00 ms, what is the maximum force on the ball?arrow_forward
- A car of mass 750 kg traveling at a velocity of 27 m/s in the positive x-direction crashes into the rear of a truck of mass 1 500 kg that is at rest and in neutral at an intersection. If the collision is inelastic and the truck moves forward at 15.0 m/s, what is the velocity of the car after the collision? (See Section 6.3.)arrow_forwardHow much of a single-stage rocket that is 100,000 kg can be anything but fuel if the rocket is to have a final speed of 8.00 km/s, given that it expels gases at an exhaust velocity of 2.20103 m/s?arrow_forwardIt is possible for the velocity of a rocket to be greater than the exhaust velocity of the gases it ejects. When that is the case, the gas velocity and gas momentum are in the same direction as that of the rocket. How is the rocket still able to obtain thrust by ejecting the gases?arrow_forward

The velocity of the 1-kg object after the collision is (a) greater than 4 m/s, (b) less than 4 m/s, (c) equal to 4 m/s, (d) zero, or (e) impossible to say based on the information provided.arrow_forwardStarting with equations m1v1=m1v1cos1+m2v2cos2 and 0=m1v1cos1+m2v2sin2 for conservation of momentum in the x- and y -directions and assuming that one object is originally stationary, prove that for an elastic collision of two objects of equal masses, 12mv12=12mv22+mv1v2cos(12) as discussed in the text.arrow_forward
