Jerry, the mouse, has managed to hack into the operating software of Mechano ( mM = 2.80 kg), the evil robot cat. Jerry instructs Mechano to fire a projectile ( mp 2.00 x 10-2 kg) at Tom the cat. Answer the two parts below, using three sig figs. Part A - When the cannon fires, Mechano rolls backward with a recoil speed of 0.630 m/s. What is the speed of the projectile, up, when it ermeges from the cannon? Part B - How much energy, AE, is released by the gunpowder that explodes inside the cannon when the projectile is fired?

A 9.7-g bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood having mass m = 5.10 kg. The bullet imbeds into the block. The speed of the bullet-plus-wood combination immediately after the collision is 0.606 m/s. What was the original speed of the bullet? (Express your answer with four significant figures.)
A bullet with a mass of 4.00 X 10^-3 is loaded into a gun. The loaded gun has a mass of 6.82 kg. The bullet is fired, causing the empty gun to recoil at a speed of.0.25 m/s. What is the speed of the bullet? Note: Please show all of the steps so that I can understand what i am supposed to do. Too many times the experts do not show all of the steps. I do not understand Physics.

A baseball of mass m1 = 0.34 kg is thrown at a concrete block m2 = 7.5 kg. The block has a coefficient of static friction of μs = 0.76 between it and the floor. The ball is in contact with the block for t = 0.105 s while it collides elastically. The force of interaction between the block and the ball is constant for the duration of their collision. Randomized Variables m1 = 0.34 kgm2 = 7.5 kgμs = 0.76t = 0.105 s a. Write an expression for the minimum velocity the ball must have, vmin, to make the block move. b. What is the velocity in m/s?
An ball bearing of mass m rolls along a horizontal rail at velocity vo and strikes a stationary ball bearing of mass M, which then recoils with a velocity v1 after a perfectly elastic collision. By considering special cases for the relative values of m and M, you can determine which of the following expressions for v1 is correct. You should not need to solve equations for the whole system. v1 = v0 M/m v1 = 2 vo m/M v1= v0 m/(m+M) v1 = 2 vo m/(m+M)

A loaded gun is dropped on a frozen lake. The gun fires, with the bullet going horizontally in one direction and the gun sliding on the ice in the other direction. The bullet's mass is 0.03 kg, and its speed is 280 m/s. If the gun's mass is 1.8 kg, what is its speed (in m/s)?
It is generally a good idea to gain an understanding of the "size" of units. Consider the objects listed and calculate the magnitude of their momentum in SI units. A ladybug weighing 31.80 mg flies by your head at 2.43 mi/h. momentum of ladybug: A 67.50 lb boy walks at 2.73 mi/h. momentum of boy: A car weighing 1855 lb is moving at a speed of 26.50 mi/h. momentum of car: Based on your answers, which of the scenarios likely describe an object possessing a momentum of 1 kg. m/s? a mosquito flying through a swamp an elephant running across a field a tiger running after prey a cat walking down a sidewalk a beetle walking across a jungle floor kg - m/s kg. m/s kg. m/s
