A car with mass mc=1120kg is traveling west through an intersection with a speed of vc=7.41m/s when a truck of mass mt=2040kg traveling south at vt=15.43m/s fails to yield. The vehicles collide, they stick together, and they slide on the asphalt which has a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk=0.500. Associate the positive x direction with east and the positive y direction with north.
How far, in meters, will the vehicles slide after the collision?
A fireworks rocket is moving at a speed of v = 46.3 m/s. The rocket suddenly breaks into two pieces of equal mass, which fly off with velocities v1at an angle of theta1 = 29.0° and v2 at an angle of theta2 = 61.0° as shown in the drawing below. What is the magnitude of v1?
An object with mass m1 = 3.00 kg is moving along the positive x axis with a speed v1i = 2 m/s straight towards two objects with masses m2 = 2.00 kg and m3 = 4.00 kg, which are initially at rest. When they collide, object 1 comes to rest and object 2 moves away with a speed of v2f = 1.5 m/s at an angle of 50 degrees above the x axis. What is the direction of the velocity of the center of mass of the system comprised of all three objects after the collision?
A) Along the x axis
B) A an angle of 50 degrees above the x axis
C) At an angle of 50 degrees below the x axis
D) At an angle > 0 degrees and <50 degrees above the x axis
E) At an angle>0 degrees and <50 degrees below the x axis
The correct answer is A but I am confused why it is A, if you could explain the justification as to why the answer is option A.

- 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_forwardInitially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide elastically in the trough of the track. If m2 = 4 m1, m1 = 0.045 kg, and h = 0.65 m, what is the velocity of each ball after the collision?arrow_forwardA cannon is rigidly attached to a carriage, which can move along horizontal rails but is connected to a post by a large spring, initially unstretchcd and with force constant k = 2.00 104 N/m, as shown in Figure P8.60. The cannon fires a 200-kg projectile at a velocity of 125 m/s directed 45.0 above the horizontal. (a) Assuming that the mass of the cannon and its carriage is 5 000 kg, find the recoil speed of the cannon. (b) Determine the maximum extension of the spring. (c) Find the maximum force the spring exerts on the carriage. (d) Consider the system consisting of the cannon, carriage, and projectile. Is the momentum of this system conserved during the firing?

- Three runaway train cars are moving on a frictionless, horizontal track in a railroad yard as shown in Figure P11.73. 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 metersticks are connected at their ends as shown in Figure P10.18. The center of mass of each individual meterstick is at its midpoint, and the mass of each meterstick is m. a. Where is the center of mass of the two-stick system as depicted in the figure, with the origin located at the intersection of the sticks? b. Can the two-stick system be balanced on the end of your finger so that it remains lying flat in front of you in the orientation shown? Why or why not? FIGURE P10.18 (a) The center of mass of the stick on the x axis would be at (0.5 m, 0), and the center of mass of the stick on the stick on the y axis be at (0, 0.5 m), assuming the sticks are uniform. We can then use Equation 10.3 to find the x and y coordinates of the center of mass. xCM=1Mj=1nmjxj=12m[m(0.50m)]=0.25myCM=1Mj=1nmjyj=12m[m(0.50m)]=0.25m The location of the center of mass is (0.25m,0.25m) (b) No. The location of the center of mass is not located on the object, so your finger would not be in contact with the object. In a different orientation, balancing by applying a force at the center of mass might be possible, but not in the orientation shown.arrow_forwardTwo skateboarders, with masses m1 = 75.0 kg and m2 = 65.0 kg, simultaneously leave the opposite sides of a frictionless half-pipe at height h = 4.00 m as shown in Figure P11.49.

Treating the skateboarders as particles and assuming they dont fall off their skateboards, what is the height reached by each skateboarder after the collision? FIGURE P11.49arrow_forward
