The earliest drop towers were used for the purpose of making lead shots for muskets. The procedure involved releasing droplets of molten lead from the top of the tower. As the droplets of lead fell through the tower, they formed a spherical droplet. If given enough free fall time, the droplet of molten lead would solidify to form the perfect spherical shot. The tallest of these drop towers in the United States was a 230-foot tower built in Baltimore. Suppose that lead free falls through a drop tower for a distance of 63.9 meters a) Determine how much time (in seconds) it takes the lead shot to fall this distance of 63.9 meters. b) Determine how fast (in m/s) the lead shot is moving after free falling for 63.9 meters, right before hitting the ground

For mammals, resting heart rate scales as mass to the -1/4th power; that is, R is proportional to m^-1/4. The heart rate of a 5000 kg elephant is 30 bpm (beats per minute). What do you predict for the heart rate of a 5.0 kg monkey?
A 5.9 × 107 kg battle ship originally at rest fires a 1100-kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of 585 m/s. The firing of the shell results in a recoil velocity of -0.01091 m/s. Calculate the change of kinetic energy, in joules, for the ship and the shell. This energy is less than the energy released by the gun powder; in other words, there is significant heat transfer.
I am not sure why I am not getting the answer. I looked all around the interwebs and I keep on finding the same way to solve the problem and when I do it that way I keep getting .311. That answer is wrong and im not sure what im doing wrong. Im using U=.5kx^2 ( both springs) and U=.5mv^2 (kenetic)
You're rolling solid rubber balls on the kitchen floor. Ball 1 has a density of 1.16 × 103 kg/m3 and a radius of 28.0 mm. Ball 2 has an unknown density and a radius of 43.0 mm and is initially at rest. You roll ball 1 at an initial speed of 3.00 m/s, and the two balls collide head-on. Ball 1 reverses direction and comes back to you at 2.00 m/s, and after the collision, the speed of ball 2 is 1.00 m/s. The positive x axis is in the direction of ball 1's initial motion. A.What is the magnitude of the initial momentum of ball 1? Express your answer with the appropriate units. B. What is the magnitude of the final momentum of ball 1? Express your answer with the appropriate units. C. What is the magnitude of the initial momentum of ball 2? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A tin can is placed outside just as it starts to rain. Tabl e 1 contains measurements of the mass of water in the can taken at time intervals of 1 s. Describe the information provided in Table 1.
The collision frequency is inversely proportional to the mean free path, but is independent of the average speed of the particles. True False
A 330.0 g bird flying along at 8.10 m/s sees a 17.0 g insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 26.0 m/s. The bird opens its mouth wide and enjoys a nice lunch. What is the bird's speed (in m/s) immediately after swallowing?
While playing a game of billards, your 0.50kg cue ball, travelling at 1.9 m/s glances off a stationary 0.30 kg billard ball so that the billard ball moves off at 1.3 m/s at an angle of 32 degrees clockwise from the cue ball's original path. What is the final speed of the cue ball?
The sonar unit on a boat is designed to measure the depth of fresh water (p = 1.00 x 103 kg/m³, Bad = 2.20 x 109 Pa). When the boat moves into salt water (p = 1025 kg/m³, Bad = 2.37 x 109 Pa), the sonar unit is no longer calibrated properly. In salt water, the sonar unit indicates the water depth to be 8.87 m. What is the actual depth (in m) of the water? Number i ! Units m

1a. lb. lc. Define momentum p. Show that momentum is conserved in the absence of external force. Consider a totally elastic collision between a hydrogen atom of mass mi and a helium atoms of mass m2 (see figure 1). The initial velocity of mi and m2 is given to be vi and V2i while the scattered angles θ and Φ are also measured. Find the kinetic energy of the helium atom after the collision. Express your results in terms of m, m2, vii, v2i, d, and θ.
