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?

A girl is skipping rocks across a lake. One of the rocks accidentally ricochets off a toy boat initially at rest in the water (see the drawing). The 0.072-kg rock strikes the boat at a velocity of 13 m/s, 15° below due east, and ricochets off at a velocity of 11 m/s, 12° above due east. After being struck by the rock, the boat's velocity is 2.0 m/s, due east. What is the mass of the boat? Assume the water offers no resistance to the boat's motion.
A soccer player takes a corner kick, lofting a stationary ball 36.0° above the horizon at 17.0 m/s. If the soccer ball has a mass of 0.425 kg and the player's foot is in contact with it for 3.70 ✕ 10−2 s, find the x- and y-components of the soccer ball's change in momentum and the magnitude of the average force exerted by the player's foot on the ball.
Three carts are moving on a frictionless horizontal track as shown in the figure. The 4.00 kg cart is moving to the right with a speed of 7.0 m/s, the 10.0 kg cart is also moving to the right with a speed of 6.0 m/s while the 3.00 kg cart moves to the left with a speed of 7 m/s. Find the final speed of the carts when they are all stuck together. Hint: The order at which the carts stick together does not matter. Can you see why?
Problem: You are lead engineer on the design of a crash test apparatus that verifies collisions of varying types. A m = 2 kg mass, when suspended above from a light-weight wire of L = 1.5 m, is first released at an angle of 90°, and correspondingly a height h = L. The tethered ball swings toward the waiting block of M = 4 kg. collides, then rebounds back to an angle of 0 = 32°. In this case, the collision between m and M is elastic, which prompts M's rightwards motion a distance of Ax = 2.1 m, from which the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and surface on which it is slid is determined. m L h 0 M

A soccer player bounces the ball off her head, changing the velocity of the ball. She changes the x component of the velocity of the ball from vix = 8.70 m/s to vfx = 5.10 m/s and the y component from viy = −4.00 m/s to vfy = 2.70 m/s. If the ball has a mass of 0.450 kg and is in contact with the player's head for 7.10 ms, determine the following. (Assume that the +x axis is to the right and the +y axis is up along the page.) A. direction of the impulse delivered on the ball counterclockwise from the +x-direction. B. magnitude of the impulse delivered to the ball in ( kg * m/s)
A 7.17 g pellet is shot horizontally from a BB gun at a speed of 24.8 m/s into a 28.7 g wooden block. The wooden block is attached to a spring and lies on a frictionless table. If the collision is inelastic and the spring constant k = 16.0 N/m, what is the maximum compression of the spring?
A 0.020 kg bullet is shot horizontally and collides with a 2.00 kg block of wood. The bullet embeds in the block and the block slides along a horizontal surface for 1.50 m. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.400, what was the original speed of the bullet? Include a diagram of the situation.
A 38.0-kg boy, riding a 1.90-kg skateboard at a velocity of 5.60 m/s across a level sidewalk, jumps forward to leap over a wall. Just after leaving contact with the board, the boy's velocity relative to the sidewalk is 6.00 m/s, 9.60° above the horizontal. Ignore any friction between the skateboard and the sidewalk. What is the skateboard's velocity relative to the sidewalk at this instant? Be sure to include the correct algebraic sign with your answer.
