At a carnival game you try to knock over a heavy cylinder by throwing a small ball at it. You have a choice of throwing either a ball that will stick to the cylinder, or a second ball of equal mass and speed that will bounce backward off the cylinder. Which ball is more likely to make the cylinder move?

- A rocket has total mass Mi = 360 kg, including Mfuel = 330 kg of fuel and oxidizer. In interstellar space, it starts from rest at the position x = 0, turns on its engine at time t = 0, and puts out exhaust with relative speed ve = 1 500 m/s at the constant rate k = 2.50 kg/s. The fuel will last for a burn time of Tb = Mfuel/k = 330 kg/(2.5 kg/s) = 132 s. (a) Show that during the burn the velocity of the rocket as a function of time is given by v(t)=veln(1ktMi) (b) Make a graph of the velocity of the rocket as a function of time for times running from 0 to 132 s. (c) Show that the acceleration of the rocket is a(t)=kveMikt (d) Graph the acceleration as a function of time. (c) Show that the position of the rocket is x(t)=ve(Mikt)ln(1ktMi)+vet (f) Graph the position during the burn as a function of time.arrow_forwardA particle of mass m moving along the x-axis with a velocity component +u collides head-on and sticks to a particle of mass m/3 moving along the x-axis with the velocity component −u.

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.

Rank the mass of each piece in order from smallest to largest and justify your answer. FIGURE P10.44 Problems 44 and 45.arrow_forward
- From what might be a possible scene in the comic book The X-Men, the Juggernaut (mJ) is charging into Colossus (mC) and the two collide. The initial speed of the Juggernaut is vJi and the initial speed of Colossus is vCi. After the collision, the final speed of the Juggernaut is vJf and the final speed of Colossus is vCf as they each bounce off of the other, heading in opposite directions. a. What is the impulse experienced by the Juggernaut? b. What is the impulse experienced by Colossus? c. In your own words, explain how these impulses must compare with each other and how they are related to the average force each superhero experiences during the collision.arrow_forwardA girl of mass mg is standing on a plank of mass mp.

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.
