In a ballistic pendulum experiment, a small marble is fired into a cup attached to the end of a pendulum. If the mass of the marble is 0.0265 kg and the mass of the pendulum is 0.250 kg, how high h will the pendulum swing if the marble has an initial speed of 5.35 m/s? Assume that the mass of the pendulum is concentrated at its end so that linear momentum is conserved during this collision. h = m
A comet is traveling through space with a speed of 3.10 ✕ 104 m/s when it collides with an asteroid that was at rest. The comet and the asteroid stick together during the collision process. The mass of the comet is 1.05 ✕ 1014 kg, and the mass of the asteroid is 6.50 ✕ 1020 kg. (a) What is the magnitude of the momentum of the system's center of mass before the collision? kg · m/s(b) What is the magnitude of the momentum of the system's center of mass after the collision? kg · m/s
The mass of particle 1 is 11kg and the mass of particle 2 is 15kg. The initial velocity for particle 1 is (-104m/s)i + (216m/s)j and the initial velocity of particle 2 is (75m/s)i + (-152m/s)j.
For years, the tallest tower in the United States was the Phoenix Shot Tower in Baltimore, Maryland. The shot tower was used from 1828 to1892 to make lead shot for pistols and rifles and molded shot for cannons and other instruments of warfare. Molten lead was dropped from the top of the 82.15 m tall tower into a vat of water. During its free fall, the lead would form a perfectly spherical droplet and solidify. Determine the velocity of the droplet right before it hits the ground. (Note: acceleration = -9.81 m/s/s) (Hint: think about the direction the droplet travels when considering its displacement.) ___________m/s
A submarine with a mass of 5.85 ✕ 106 kg contains a torpedo with a mass of 320 kg. The submarine fires the torpedo at an angle of θ = 20° with respect to the horizontal as shown in the figure below. (a) If the submarine and the torpedo were initially at rest and the torpedo left the submarine with a speed of 89.4 m/s, what is the recoil speed of the submarine? m/s(b) What is the direction of recoil of the submarine? ( ° counterclockwise from the +x axis)
The figure below shows a titanium ball with a mass of 3.30 kg bouncing off a wall. The ball has the same speed just before and just after the impact (v = 10.0 m/s), and the angle its path makes with the wall is ? = 60.0°as shown. (Because we are analyzing the motion of the ball over a very short time just before and after impact, you may safely ignore the effect of gravity on the ball.) The ball is in contact with the wall for 0.206 s. What is the average force (in N) exerted by the wall on the ball during the impact
In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.38 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.93 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v1 = 0.550 m/s and v2 = 1.49 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1.
A projectile with a mass m = 200 kg and a velocity v = 100 m s−1 is fired at an angle of ϕ = 60 ◦ . At the highest point of its trajectory, it explodes and breaks into three pieces with the same mass. Two pieces have the same velocity magnitude as the projectile shortly before the explosion. One of those two pieces moves vertically downwards, and the other moves horizontally forward. a) Compute the velocity of the third piece right after the explosion. b) What was the released energy of the explosion?
