The figure shows a two-ended "rocket" that is initially stationary on a frictionless floor, with its center at the origin of an x axis. The rocket consists of a central block C (of mass M-7.90 kg) and blocks Land R (each of mass m - 2.60 kg) on the left and right sides. Small explosions can shoot either of the side blocks away from block C and along the x axis. Here is the sequence: (1) At time t-0, block Lis shot to the left with a speed of 3.40 m/s relative to the velocity that the explosion gives the rest of the rocket. (2) Next, at time t - 0.80 s, block R is shot to the right with a speed of 3.40 m/s relative to the velocity that block C then has (after the second explosion). At t - 2.70 s, what are (a) the velocity of block C (including sign) and (b) the position of its center? (a) Number i -0.172 (b) Number 0.21 Units Units m/s m C 0 R
One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted by a 0.140 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 3.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. Such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated Challenger in June 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.
A block of mass m travels with speed v0 to the right ona horizontal surface with negligible friction toward a sphereof mass 2m hanging at rest from a light cord, as shown above.The block collides elastically with the sphere. Which of thefollowing correctly describes the speed and direction of theblock and the speed of the sphere a short time after thecollision? Group of answer choices block: v0/3 to the left, sphere: slightly less than 2 v0/3 block: v0/3 to the right, sphere: slightly less than 2 v0/3 block: v0 to the left, sphere: zero block: zero, sphere: slightly less than v0
One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted by a 0.130 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 4.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. Such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated Challenger in June 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.

A 7.2kg bowling ball moving at 2.74m/s strikes an identical ball that is originally at rest. Afterthe collision, the path of the initially moving ball makes an angle of 27° with respect to itsoriginal path. The path of the second ball makes an angle of -53° with respect to the samedirection. What is the speed of each ball immediately after the collision?

Two asteroids with the same mass are in the connecting line between Mars andJupiter. Asteroid A, initially moves straight (positive x-axis) with velocity40 m / s deflected 30 ° to the direction it was coming from, when hitting Asteroid Awhich was initially silent. After collision Asteroid B moves in 45 ° direction towards Asteroid A.(a) Find the velocity of each asteroid after the collision.(b) What percentage of energy was lost from Asteroid A during the collision?
A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axis. Just before the collision, one ball, of mass 3.9 kg, is moving upward at 23 m/s and the other ball, of mass 1.3 kg, is moving downward at 14 m/s. How high do the combined two balls of putty rise above the collision point? (Neglect air drag.)
One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions.

A space station initially at rest, consists of a 1000-kg sphere and a 4000-kg sphere joined by a light cylinder, as seen in the figure below. A thruster rocket which can be located either on the lighter or heavier sphere, is fired brietly to provide a 1000 N force for 5s, in two different scenarios. Assume the 1000 kg sphere is located 40 m from the CM of the ship, and the 4000 kg mass is at 10 m from the CM. a) Compute the ratio of the angular accelerations a's during the firing of the rockets, for the two different scenarios.
An air-track cart with mass m=0.15kgm=0.15kg and speed v0=1.1m/s approaches two other carts that are at rest and have masses 2m and 3m, as indicated in (Figure 1). The carts have bumpers that make all the collisions elastic. Find the final speed of cart 1, assuming the air track extends indefinitely in either direction. Find the final speed of cart 2, assuming the air track extends indefinitely in either direction. Find the final speed of cart 3, assuming the air track extends indefinitely in either direction.
