In Example 2.12, two circus performers rehearse a trick in which a ball and a dart collide. We found the height and time of the collision graphically. Return to that example, and find height and time by simultaneously solving the equations for the ball and the dart.
A system can have a nonzero velocity while the net external force on it is zero. Describe such a situation.
Professional Application One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large enough to be detected by radar, but there are far greater numbers of very small objects, such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted by a 0.100-mg chip of paint that strikes a spacecraft window at a relative speed of 4.00103 m/s, given the collision lasts 6.00108 s.
A basketball star covers 2.80 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball (Fig. P4.12a). His motion through space can be modeled precisely as that of a particle at his center of mass, which we will define in Chapter 9. His center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. It reaches a maximum height of 1.85 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.900 m when he touches down again. Determine (a) his time of flight (his hang time), (b) his horizontal and (c) vertical velocity components at the instant of takeoff, and (d) his takeoff angle. (e) For comparison, determine the hang time of a whitetail deer making a jump (Fig. P4.12b) with center of mass elevations yi = 1.20 m, ymax = 2.50 m, and yf = 0.700 m. Figure P4.12
Professional Application Antiballistic missiles (ABMs) are designed to have very large accelerations so that they may intercept fast-moving incoming missiles in the sh01t time available.
