You aim a rifle horizontally in a perfectly flat field while your friend holds a bullet at the same height as your rifle. You fire the rifle and your friend simply opens her hand simultaneously, allowing the bullet to drop. Your friend claims that both bullets hit the ground at the same moment. Do you agree? Justify your answer. Ignore air resistance.
Explain How to solve problems in which an object is falling freely under the influence of gravity alone?
An 2000 kg asteroid travels through space at a constant 3 km/s in the +x direction. An alien spaceship lands on the asteroid and grabs it. The spaceship has a mass of 2400 kg and was traveling at 8 km/s at an angle of 40 degrees relative to the +x-axis (towards the northeast) before the collision. What is the magnitude and direction of the asteroid and spaceship’s velocity after the landing? Include a sketch of the before and after motion, with coordinate system.
