The expanding gases that leave the muzzle of a rifle also contribute to the recoil. A .30 caliber bullet has mass 0.00720 kg and a speed of 601 m/s relative to the muzzle when fired from a rifle that has mass 2.80 kg. The loosely held rifle recoils at a speed of 1.85 m/s relative to the earth. Find the momentum of the propellant gases in a coordinate system attached to the earth as they leave the muzzle of the rifle.

A puck of mass mA that is moving along the +x axis with speed va collides with another puck of mass mB = 2mA. The collision is not head-on, so that after they collide, mB is located at 45◦ south of east, while mA collides head-on elastically with a stationary puck of mass mC = 3mA. If, after the second collision, the final velocity of mC is 0.450 [m/s], 25◦ north of east, what is the initial speed va?

One billiard ball (mass 118 grams) is moving due east at 5.0 m/s. A tennis ball (mass 321 grams) is moving due west at 4.0 m/s. The two balls have a glancing blow, which means they do not bounce along the same line as their original motion, but rather, deflect at an angle to their original paths. You measure the billard ball's motion as it moves 26.0° north of east, and you measure that the tennis ball is travelling 19.0° south of west. What is the speed of the billiard ball after the collision? Your Answer: Answer
