(2) To study damage to aircraft that collide with large birds, you design a test gun that accelerates chicken size
projectiles so that their position x(t) along the barrel of the gun is:
x(t) = (At ² - Bt³) meters
where A = 9.0 x 10³ and B = 8.0 x 104. Take the breech of the gun (where the projectiles are loaded) as x = 0.
(a) What are the units of A and B? (A: m/s²; B: m/s³)
(b) How long must the gun barrel be so that objects leave it in 0.0250 s? (answer: 4.38 m)
(c) What is the speed of an object as it leaves the barrel? (answer: 300 m/s)
(d) What is the acceleration of the object at t= 0.025 s? (answer: 6.0 x 10³ m/s²)
[a] An asteroid with mass X kilograms (kg) is moving eastward at Y meters per second (m/s)
collides another asteroid, also with mass X kg, which is moving northward at Z m/s. They stick
together and keep moving through space. Draw a diagram of this interaction, labeling all the
relevant objects, quantities, and velocity vectors before and after the collision.
[b] What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the two asteroids after they collide? Your
answer should be significant to two digits.
(2) A block with mass m is sliding with speed vo on a surface that is so slippery it can be considered to be
frictionless. The sliding block collides with a second stationary block with mass 4m. Both blocks stick
together and continue sliding with speed v. Take both blocks to be the "system" and assume that no net
external force acts on it so the momentum of the system is conserved (constant).
(a) What is vin terms of vo? (Hint: Use conservation of momentum.) [answer: v=v0/5]
(b) What is the initial kinetic energy of the system (K) in terms of m and vo? [answer: Ki = ¹/2mv0²]
(c) What is the final kinetic energy of the system (K) expressed as a fraction of Ki? [answer: K₂= K₂]
(d) What is the change in kinetic energy of the system (AK) expressed as a fraction of Ki?
[answer: AK = - K;]
(e) By what factor does the kinetic energy of the system change during the collision? That is, what is the
ratio Kf / K₁? [answer: = 1, or Kf = K./5, i.e., the kinetic energy decreases by a factor of 5.]…

- (A)Combine the equations for the 1-D conservation of linear momentum and the conservation of kinetic energy to create a third equation.
