-3. ssm The hammer throw is a track-and-field event in which a 7.3 kg ball (the “hammer"), starting from rest, is whirled around in a circle sev- eral times and released. It then moves upward on the familiar curving path of projectile motion. In one throw, the hammer is given a speed of 29 m/s. For comparison, a .22 caliber bullet has a mass of 2.6 g and, start- ing from rest, exits the barrel of a gun at a speed of 410 m/s. Determine the work done to launch the motion of (a) the hammer and (b) the bullet.

A bullet of mass 52 grams is fired horizontally into a 5.2 kg wooden block on a horizontalsurface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.52. Thebullet stops in the block which slides straight ahead for 5.2 meter. At what speed is thebullet fired?(Apply conservation of energy with friction
12. A sling is a piece of cloth whose length is folded in half and a rock or some other projectile is placed at the center. The sling is then spun in a circle and one end is released, causing the bullet in the sling to fly out at a speed much greater than what would be possible if thrown by a hand alone. If the cloth used is 2.0 m long, the bullet has a mass of 0.50 kg, and is released with a velocity of 55 m/s, what is the angular velocity of the sling upon release? What is the angular momentum of the bullet upon release? Don't forget, the cloth is folded in half.
The ballistic pendulum used to be a common tool for the determination of the muzzle velocity of bullets as a measure of the performance of firearms and ammunition (nowadays, the ballistic pendulum has been replaced by the ballistic chronograph, an electronic device). The ballistic pendulum is a simple pendulum that allows one to record the maximum swing angle of the pendulum arm caused by the firing of a bullet into the pendulum bob. Let L = 1.5 m and mA = 7.5 kg. For George Washington’s 0.58-caliber pistol, which fired a roundball of mass mB = 87 g, it is found that the maximum swing angle of the pendulum is θmax = 46°. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Bullet B fired from a gun secured on a stand hits block A attached to a vertical rod of length L pivoted at the top.The illustration indicates that, after the impact of the bullet, the block moves upward to the right through an angular displacement theta.…
A 6.45 kg bowling ball moving at 10.0 m/s collides with a 1.60 kg bowling pin, scattering it with a speed of 8.00 m/s and at an angle of 29.5° with respect to the initial direction of the bowling ball. Calculate the final velocity (magnitude in m/s and direction in degrees counterclockwise from the original direction) of the bowling ball. Ignoring rotation, what was the original kinetic energy in joules of the bowling ball before the collision? Ignoring rotation, what is the final kinetic energy in joules of the system of the bowling ball and pin after the collision?
onstants Most geologists believe that the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago when a large comet or asteroid struck the earth, throwing up so much dust that the sun was blocked out for a period of many months. Suppose an asteroid with a diameter of Part A 2.0 km and a mass of 1.0 xX 1013 kg hits the earth (6.0 x 1024 kg) with an impact speed of 3.8 × 104 m/s. What is the earth's recoil speed after such a collision? (Use a reference frame in which the earth was initially at rest.) Express your answer with the appropriate units. • View Available Hint(s) HẢ ? Value Units V =
Q8/ Two locomotives at opposite ends of a 7-km-long track, fired them up, tied their throttles open, and then allowed them to crash head-on at full speed. Assuming each locomotive weighed 2 x 10° N and its acceleration was a constant 0.2 m/s, what was the total kinetic energy of the two locomotives just before the collision?
A shell is shot with an initial velocity of 17 m/s, at an angle of 0o = 64° with the horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass (see the figure). One fragment, whose speed immediately after the explosion is zero, falls vertically. How far from the gun does the other fragment land, assuming that the terrain is level and that air drag is negligible? Explosion
2) With a collision velocity V = 650 m/s, a 60-gram projectile collides and becomes embedded into a 30kg sand-filled box, which is initially at rest. Calculate the maximum deflection angle 0 and the total mechanical energy before and after the collision. 2m
"A railroad car, of mass 200 kg, rolls with negligible friction on a horizontal track with a speed of 10 m/s. A 70-kg stunt man drops straight down a distance of 4.0 m, and lands in the car. How fast will the car be moving after this happens?"
Muskox: In the arctic, male muskoxen compete for the attention of females by butting heads. On a cold day (-16.3 degree F), a young bull spies an older bull 13.9 m away and charges! The two meet in a head-on collision and come to a complete stop. The young bull has a mass of 681 kg and was running at a speed of 9.5 m/s. The older bull has a mass of 654 kg. The collision takes place on an icy patch, so you can ignore friction. (a) What was the speed of the older bull? (b) How many joules of energy were "lost" in this collision?
10. A stationary block is released on a frictionless ramp at a height of 3.0 m. There are other hill heights along the ramp as shown in the figure. The hills have identical circular tops, and the block does not fly off any hill. If the mass of the block is 4 Kg, what would be the velocity as it passes hill (1)?
