A box of mass M=1980 g, filled with sand, is suspended from a 1=1.5 m long rope. The length of the rope is much larger than the dimensions of the box. A bullet with mass m=20 g flying with a velocity of v=500 m/s in the horizontal direction hits the box and gets stuck. Find the maximum deviation angle of the rope from the vertical. Neglect the drag force of the air. Take g=10m/s^2.
Question 4.
A small box of mass m, moving at speed v, slides on top of a larger box of mass M which rests on the
frictionless ground. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the large box and the small box is µ. Assuming
the large box is wide enough to keep the small box from falling off, the interaction between these two boxes
will bring them both to the same final speed vf.
(a) Find vf.
(b) How long does it take for both boxes to reach speed vf? Does your answer depend on u? Why or why
not?
(c) Find the minimum width w of the large box that allows the small box to stay on top without falling
off. Here you may neglect the size of the small box.

Suppose the initial mass of the rocket at liftoff (Including its fuel) is m, the fuel is consumed at rate r, and the exhaust gases are ejected with constant velocity v. (relative to the rocket). A model for the velocity of the rocket at time t is given by the equation m v(t) = -gt - v, In m where g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is not too large.

- This is a two-part problem. A rocket, fired from rest at time t = 0, has an initial mass of m0 (including fuel). Assuming the fuel is consumed at a constant rate k, the mass m of the rocket, while fuel is being burned, will be given by m0 - kt. It can be shown that if air resistance is neglected and the fuel gases are expelled at a constant speed c relative to the rocket, then the velocity v of the rocket will satisfy the equation m(dv/dt) = ck - mg. In this equation, g is the acceleration due to gravity. I) Find v(t) keeping in mind that the mass m is a function of t. II) Suppose that the fuel accounts for 70% of the initial mass of the rocket and that all of the fuel is consumed at 130 s. Find the velocity of the rocket in meters per second at the instant the fuel is exhausted.arrow_forwardA 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 167-kg plank.

After the impact, which is assumed to be perfectly plastic (e= 0), the velocity of blocks A and B decreases due to friction, while block C picks up speed, until all three blocks are moving with the same velocity v .
