Problem #3: A firework with total mass 5.0 kg is lit and eventually explodes into three main pieces. Two of the pieces were caught on film and later had their masses measured. The first piece with m1 = 2.0 kg travels to the left at an angle of 30° above the -x axis with a speed of 15.0 m/s. The second piece with m2 = 2.0 kg travels downward at an angle of 20° from the -y axis at a speed of 25 m/s. a. With what speed and in which direction did the third piece travel away from the explosion? b. If the firework was placed on a table of height 1.5m above the ground when it exploded, how far from the base of the table did the piece land on the ground?

The drawing shows a collision between two small balls. Ball (1) has a mass of 140 g and is moving along the x-axis with a velocity of 4.60 m/s. It makes a collision with ball (2), which has a mass of 210 g and is initially at rest. After the 60°). What is the magnitude of %D collision, the two balls fly apart with angles as shown in the figure below (a = 58° and B the velocity of ball (2) after the collision? m/s +y m2 m1 +x
A lumberjack is standing on a log floating on a lake. She starts from rest, then runs along the log to the end, when she jumps from the first log onto a second. After landing safely on the second log, she slows down and ends up standing on the second log. Both logs both have masses of 150 kg each and the mass of the lumberjack is 70 kg. The lumberjack reaches a speed of 7.0 m/s relative to the shore during her jump. What is the speed of the lumberjack after she has stopped on the second log? You may assume the drag of the water on the logs is very small. Please answer in units of m/s.
Two asteroids of equal mass collide in an ellastic collision. Asteroid A has an initial velocity of 40 m/s. After the collision, asteroid A deflects an an angle of 30° above its initial direction. Asteroid B is initially at rest. After the collision, asteroid B travels at 45° below the original direction of asteroid A. What are the final speeds of the two asteroids?

An astronaut comes loose while outside the spacecraft and finds himself floating away from the spacecraft with only a big bag of tools. In desperation, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion (away from the space station). The astronaut has a mass of 102 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of 10.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at 1.80 m/s initially, what is the minimum final speed of the bag of tools (with respect to the space station) that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever? minimum final speed: m/s
A 1.5x105 kg barge is floating downriver in a fog with a velocity of i = m/s when it collides with a second barge with a mass of 3.0x105 kg heading across the river with a velocity of i = m/s. Immediately after impact, the second barge is headed 20° downriver with a speed of 4.5 m/s. Assume the current is negligible in this part of the river. a. What is the velocity of the second barge immediately after impact (in vector form)? b. Use conservation of momentum to find the velocity of the first barge immediately after impact (in vector form)? c. Was the collision elastic? If not, what was the change in kinetic energy? 20 Downriver
Two pucks are directed towards each other on an ice rink (along the x-axis.) Puck A has a mass of 0.16kg and is moving with a speed of 1m/s in the positive x-direction.

After the collision, the wreckage is sliding at vf = 14 m/s in the direction ? = 21° east of north. Calculate the speed of each vehicle before the collision. The collision occurs during a heavy rainstorm so you can ignore friction forces between the vehicles and the wet road. Express your answers using apropriate mks units. A.) vcar,i = B.) vtruck,i = C.)
