The last stage of a rocket, which is traveling at a speed of 8300 m/s, consists of two parts that are clamped together: a rocket case with a mass of 370 kg and a payload capsule with a mass of 140 kg. When the clamp is released, a compressed spring causes the two parts to separate (with the payload being propelled forward and the rocket case backward) with a relative speed of 720 m/s. What are the speeds of (a) the rocket case and (b) the payload after they have separated? Assume that all velocities are along the same line. Find the total kinetic energy of the two parts (c) before they seperate?

The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archaeological artefacts. 14C decays to 14N by a process known as beta decay, in which the nucleus emits an electron (also known as a beta particle) and a subatomic particle called a neutrino. In one such decay, the electron and the neutrino are emitted in opposite directions to each other. The electron has a speed of 5 x 10 m/s and the neutrino has a momentum of 5 x 1024 kg m/s. n as What is the recoil speed of the resulting 14N nucleus? (Take the mass of the carbon-14 and nitrogen-14 nuclei to be 2.34 x 10 26 kg and the mass of the electron to be 9.11 x 1031 kg. If you were aware of such things and concerned, please ignore relativistic effects.)
A watermelon is blown into three pieces by a large firecracker. Two pieces of equal mass m fly away perpendicular to one another, one in the x direction another in the y direction. Both of these pieces fly away with a speed of V = 23 m/s. The third piece has three times the mass of the other two pieces. Write an expression for the speed of the larger piece, that is in terms of only the variable V. What is the numeric value for the speed of the larger piece, in meters per second? At what angle does the largest piece travel with respect to the -y axis, in degrees?
. In an experiment, you throw a rubber ball of mass m = 25.0 g onto a block of mass M = 250 g that is initially at rest at the edge of a table of height h = 0.98 m. (Figure) The ball bounces back with a speed of 1.01 m/s, and the block eventually lands at d = 1.02 m from the bottom of the table. What is the speed of the ball, right before it hits the block?
The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archaeological artefacts. 14C decays to 14N by a process known as beta decay, in which the nucleus emits an electron (also known as a beta particle) and a subatomic particle called a neutrino. In one such decay, the electron and the neutrino are emitted in opposite directions to each other. The electron has a speed of 4 x 107 m/s and the neutrino has a momentum of 8 × 10-24 kg m/s.

Determine: (a) at which angle the third passenger must jump for the boat to come to rest after all three passengers jump (b) and how fast
While a disk with a mass of ma=5 kg travels at VA=4m/s speeds in the +x direction, it collides with another disk with a mass of mp=2 kg on its way. After the collision, if disk A moves with a speed of V'A=2 m/s, making an angle of 0=37° degrees with the A coming direction, what is the velocity of disk B (V'B) after the collision?

A rocket moving in space, far from all other objects, has a speed of 3.0 x 10* m/s relative to the Earth. Its engines are turned on, and fuel is ejected in a direction opposite the rocket's motion at a speed of 5.0 x 10* m/s relative to the rocket. (A) What is the speed of the rocket relative to the Earth once the rocket's mass is reduced to half its mass before ignition?
