A shell is shot with an initial velocity o of 13 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 Number Units

A 0.020 kg bullet is shot horizontally and collides with a 2.00 kg block of wood. The bullet embeds in the block and the block slides along a horizontal surface for 1.50 m.

A billiard ball with v0 M = 10 m / s collides elasticly with another of the same mass, which is initially at rest. After the collision, the ball that was stopped fires forming an angle of 30 ° with the direction of the initial speed of the other ball. Calculate the modules of the final speeds of the two balls.
1. Physics Problem: The ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of a projectile, such as a bullet. The projectile, of mass m, is fired into a large block of mass M, which is suspended like a pendulum (see the Figure below). As a result of the collision, the pendulum and projectile together swing up to a maximum height h. Determine the relationship between the initial horizontal speed of the projectile, vo, and the maximum height h. Determine the percentage energy loss in the inelastic collision. 2. The ballistic pendulum device will be demonstrated in class. 3. Fire the ballistic pendulum five times and record the pendulum's maximum height after each round. 4. Remove the pendulum arm from the ballistic pendulum. Mass the pendulum arm and the projectile separately. 5. Determine the average speed and the statistical error (standard deviation).

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS FACULTY OF SCIENCES QUESTION NO. 4: Figure 4 gives an overhead view of the path taken by a 0.165 kg cue ball as it bounces from a rail of a pool table. The ball's initial speed is 2.0 m/s, and the angle 0, is 30.0°.The bounce reverses the y component of the ball's velocity but does not alter the r component. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 10 ms, what are? (a) the initial and final velocities in unit-vector notations? (b) angle 0,7 (e) the impulse on the ball from the wall? (d) the average force on the ball by the wall? Figure 4

An 9.00 kgkg block of wood sits at the edge of a frictionless table, 2.25 mm above the floor. A 0.575 kgkg blob of clay slides along the length of the table with a speed of 24.7 m/sm/s, strikes the block of wood, and sticks to it.
