For an isolated system where two masses collide in two dimensions (2D), check all TRUE statements: Piy = Pfy J = 0, since the x and y components cancel each other out. If the masses collide in 2D, the collision must be inelastic. Pfx =Pix If the collision is inelastic, the final momentum, Pf, can be derived by the vector addition of the momentum vectors of the two masses prior to collision.
Answer the question correctly. Thank you!
A 12 kg space rock with velocity vector v1 = 7 i (m/s) collides with and sticks to an 22 kg space rock with velocity vector v2 = 21 j (m/s). Calculate the final speed of the pair, in m/s. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
To keep the calculations fairly simple, but still reasonable, we shall model a human leg that is 92.0 cm long (measured from the hip joint) by assuming that the upper leg and the lower leg (which includes the foot) have equal lengths and that each of them is uniform. For a 70.0 kg person, the mass of the upper leg is 8.60 kg, while that of the lower leg (including the foot) is 5.25 kg. Find the location of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is (a) fully extended, and (b) bent at the knee to form a right angle with the upper leg.
A rod of length 30.50 cm has linear density (mass per length) given by A = 50.0 + 25.0x where x is the distance from one end, and A is measured in grams/meter. (a) What is its mass? (b) How far from the x = 0 end is its center of mass? m
The following equation describes the motion of a rocket that is expelling a total mass M of fuel at a rateα = -dm/dt:dv/dt = uα/(M-αt),where u is the speed the fuel is ejected, v is the velocity of the rocket in the x-direction, and t is time. Assume the velocity at t = 0 is v(0) = v0, and that M, and u are constants. The burn rate is proportional to the mass of the rocket, as follows:α = -βm,where m is the current mass of the rocket (which is therefore time-dependent). This means that as less fuel is available to burn, then the fuel is burned at a lower rate. Write an expression for the mass of the fuel as a function of time. Now, write an expression for the velocity as a function of time for the rocket. A particular rocket burns fuel at a rate proportional to the mass of the fuel with the constant of proportionality being 6.4 1/s. The propellant speed is 5.1 m/s. The total mass of fuel is 136.4 kg. What is the speed, in meters per second, of the rocket at t = 2.7 s?

Since a net force is equal to mass times acceleration, and a net force is also equal to the rate of change of momentum, then the rate of change of momentum must equal mass times acceleration. True False Consider a system of 2 objects, A and B. If the rate of change of momentum of the entire system (A and B together) is zero then The total momentum of the system must be zero. The total momentum of the system must be constant. The momentum of A must be constant, and the momentum of B must be constant. The total momentum of the system is conserved. the momentum of A must be zero, and the momentum of B must be zero. You don't have enough information to determine the momentum of A or the momentum of B.
Express each result of Parts 1-5 in the form of a Cartesian vector. Part 4 requires the specification of 2 cartesian vectors: a force and a moment vector.
