A ball of mass 160 g is dropped from a height 1.5 m and bounces off the floor with a velocity 3.0 m/s [Up]. If the average Force on the ball from the floor is 15 N [up], for how long is the ball in contact with the floor in milliseconds?
A Vulcan spaceship has a mass of 6.50 × 104 kg and a Romulan spaceship is twice as massive. Both have engines that generate the same total force of 9.50 × 106 N.
If each spaceship fires its engine for the same amount of time, starting from rest and ignoring any change in mass due to whatever is expelled by the engines, calculate the energy of the Vulcan spaceship if the engines are fired for 102 s.

- The coefficient of friction between the block of mass ml = 3.00 kg and the surface in Figure P7.22 is k = 0.400. The system starts from rest. What is the speed of the ball of mass, m2 = 5.00 kg when it has fallen a distance h = 1.50 m? Figure P7.22arrow_forwardA 2000-kg railway freight car coasts at 4.4 m/s underneath a grain terminal, which dumps grain directly down into the freight car. If the speed of the loaded freight car must not go below 3.0 m/s, what is the maximum mass of grain that it can accept?arrow_forwardA hockey puck of mass 150 g is sliding due east on a frictionless table with a speed of 10 m/s.

- A block of mass m1 = 4.00 kg initially at rest on top of a frictionless, horizontal table is attached by a lightweight string to a second block of mass m2 = 3.00 kg hanging vertically from the edge of the table and a distance h = 0.450 m above the floor (Fig. P8.77). If the edge of the table is assumed to be frictionless, what is the speed with which the first block leaves the edge of the table?arrow_forwardA mass M1 (of 2.5 kg) slides without friction on a table at a speed of 5 m/sec towards a mass M2 of 5 kg which can also slide without friction on the table. There is a spring on the face of M2 that will contact M1. If the spring constant is 100 N/m, what will be the maximum compression of the spring?arrow_forwardHello, here is my question A spring with spring constant k = 3.75 N/cm is compressed 7.00 cm. A 1.50 kg mass is placed next to the compressed spring. When the spring is released, this mass moves without friction and collides with a stationary mass of 2.00 kg. The two masses stick together and move without friction up a slope angled at 20.0 degrees. (a) (10 points) How far along the slope does the two-mass system travel? (b) (5 points) If it takes 5.00*10-3 seconds from the initial impact for the two masses to stick together, what is the magnitude of the average contact force between the two blocks? (c) (5 points) The two-mass system will slide back down the slope and compress the spring. What is the spring’s maximum compression? Thank you!arrow_forward
- Block 1, with mass m1 and speed 5.2 m/s, slides along an x axis on a frictionless floor and then undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2, with mass m2 = 0.33m1.
