A steel shotgun with a mass of 3 kg hits a large wall at an angle of 60 ° with the wall at 10 m / s and the ball is reflected at the same speed and angle. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.2 s, what is the force the wall exerts on the ball? (sin60 ° = 0.87 and cos60 ° = 0.5)(G = 10)
Can any real collision ever be truly perfectly elastic? Why or why not? (You should think about this in two ways: first consider what effects of the environment surrounding the collision might have on energy and momentum conservation; second, consider the objects themselves – how must an object react to a collision in order to be considered "perfect"?).
A uniform soda can of mass 0.141 kg is 12.1 cm tall and filled with 0.351 kg of soda (figure below). Then small holes are drilled in the top and bottom (with negligible loss of metal) to drain the soda. (Initially the soda can is full.) (a) What is the height h of the com of the can and contents initially? cm (b) What is the height h of the com of the can and contents after the can loses all the soda? cm (c) What happens to h as the soda drains out? O decreases then rises again decreases to the bottom O rises to the top O stays the same (d) If x is the height of the remaining soda at any give instant, find x when the com reaches its lowest point. cm Splash!

Professional Application Ernest Rutherford (the first New Zealander to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry) demonstrated that nuclei were very small and dense by scattering Hhelium-4 nuclei (4 He) from Gold-197 nuclei (197 Au). The energy of the incoming helium nucleus was 8.00×10−13 J, and the masses of the helium and gold nuclei were 6.68×10−27 kg and 3.29×10−25 kg, respectively (note that their mass ratio is 4 to 197). (a) If a helium nucleus scatters to an angle of 120o during an elastic collision with a gold nucleus, calculate the helium nucleus’s final speed and the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of the gold nucleus. (b) What is the final kinetic energy of the helium nucleus?
Two bullets of the same size, mass and horizontal velocity are fired at identical blocks, only one is made of steel and the other is made of rubber. The steel bullet has a perfectly inelastic collision with the block, while the rubber bullet has an elastic collision. Which bullet is more likely to knock over the block, or are both equally likely to do so? Justify your choice based on physics principles.
