A Ballistic Pendulum. A 12.0-g rifle bullet is fired with a speed of 380 m/s into a ballistic pendulum with mass 6.00 kg, suspended from a cord 70.0 cm long (see Example 8.8 in Section 8.3). Compute (a) the vertical height through which the pendulum rises, (b) the initial kinetic energy of the bullet, and (c) the kinetic energy of the bullet and pendulum immediately after the bullet becomes embedded in the wood.

- A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earths surface with an initial speed of 2.00 104 m/s. What will its speed be when it is very far from the Earth? Ignore atmospheric friction and the rotation of the Earth.

The first car, with mass m1 = 1.50 103 kg, is moving to the right with speed v1 = 10.0 m /s; the second car, with mass m2 = 2.50 103 kg, is moving to the left with speed v2 = 5.00 m/s, and the third car, with mass m3 = 1.20 103 kg, is moving to the left with speed v3 = 8.00 m /s. The three railroad cars collide at the same instant and couple, forming a train of three cars. a. What is the final velocity of the train cars immediately after the collision? b. Would the answer to part (a) change if the three cars did not collide at the same instant? Explain. FIGURE P11.73arrow_forwardTwo objects are connected by a light string passing over a light, frictionless pulley as shown in Figure P7.7. The object of mass m1 = 5.00 kg is released from rest at a height h = 4.00 m above the table. Using the isolated system model, (a) determine the speed of the object of mass m2 = 3.00 kg just as the 5.00-kg object hits the table and (b) find the maximum height above the table to which the 3.00-kg object rises.arrow_forward
- A 5.00-g bullet moving with an initial speed of v = 400 m/s is fired into and passes through a 1.00-kg block as shown in Figure P8.57. The block, initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface, is connected to a spring with force constant 900 N/m. The block moves d = 5.00 cm to the right after impact before being brought to rest by the spring. Find (a) the speed at which the bullet emerges from the block and (b) the amount of initial kinetic energy of the bullet that is converted into internal energy in the bullet-block system during the collision. Figure P8.57arrow_forwardTwo gliders are set in motion on a horizontal air track. A spring of force constant k is attached to the back end of the second glider. As shown in Figure P8.48, the first glider, of mass m1, moves to the right with speed v1, and the second glider, of mass m2, moves more slowly to the right with speed v2. When m1 collides with the spring attached to m2, the spring compresses by a distance xmax, and the gliders then move apart again. In terms of v1, v2, m1, m2, and k, find (a) the speed rat maximum compression, (b) the maximum compression xmax, and (c) the velocity of each glider after m1 has lost contact with the spring.arrow_forwardA 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_forward
- A 10.0 g rifle bullet is fired with a speed of 380 m/s into a ballistic pendulum with mass 10.0 kg, suspended from a cord 70.0 cm long. Part A Compute the initial kinetic energy of the bullet. Express your answer in joules. Part B Compute the kinetic energy of the bullet and pendulum immediately after the bullet becomes embedded in the pendulum. Express your answer in joules. Part C Compute the vertical height through which the pendulum rises. Express your answer in centimeters.arrow_forwardQIIII: A thin uniform rod of mass Mr and length L is suspended from the ceiling and mounted on a horizontal frictionless axle at the top. The rod is initially at rest in its equilibrium position when a ball of play dough, of mass mb, strikes the rod at its lower end and remains stuck to the rod. The sticky ball is thrown with an initial speed v0 at a 60 degree angle from the horizontal direction, and strikes the rod when it reaches the top of its trajectory, as shown in Fig.4. The acceleration due to gravity has magnitude g and air resistance is negligible. a. Determine the velocity of the ball of play dough right before it sticks to the rod. Use the x- y coordinate system defined in Fig.4. b. Determine the angular velocity of the rod+ball system right after the collision. Take counterclockwise as positive. c. - Establish the differential equation satisfied by the rod+ball system after the collision and determine the angular frequency of the system. You may assume that the small…arrow_forwardA pendulum of mass m and length is initially at rest at an angle 8. The pendulum then swings down and collides elastically with a stationary block of mass M. The block slides along the surface and eventually stops when it encounters a rough patch of length |Ad|. Assume that m = 1.7kg, L = 0.80m, 0 = 67, M 2.8kg and Ad = 0.55m. a) Calculate the speed of the block immediately after the elastic collision. b) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the rough patch?arrow_forward
- You are riding a 450-kg horse at 14.1 km/h east along a desert road. You have inertia equal to 60.0 kg. A police officer driving past (whom you know and who knows your inertia and the horse's inertia) measures your speed relative to the police car and calculates total kinetic energy of you and your horse to be 17.52 kJ. What possible speed(s) could the police car have been driving at the instant the officer measured your speed? Express your answer in meters per second. If there is more than one answer, separate them by a comma.arrow_forwardA 5.00-kg block is moving at 5.00 m/s along a horizontal frictionless surface toward an ideal massless spring that is attached to a wall. After the block collides with the spring, it keeps moving rightwards until the spring reaches its maximum compression of 1.68 m. After reaching maximum compression, the block and spring come to rest momentarily, and then move leftwards. While it is moving to the left, what is the speed of the block when it has moved so that the spring is compressed to only one-half of the maximum distance?arrow_forwardTo test the speed of a bullet, you create a pendulum by attaching a 4.70 kg wooden block to the bottom of a 1.20 m long, 0.800 kg rod. The top of the rod is attached to a frictionless axle and is free to rotate about that point. You fire a 10 g bullet into the block, where it sticks, and the pendulum swings out to an angle of 25.0°. What was the speed of the bullet? (Treat the wooden block as a particle.)arrow_forward
