A 0.500 kg sphere moving with a velocity given by (2.00î – 2.60ĵ + 1.00k) m/s strikes another sphere of mass 1.50 kg moving with an initial velocity of (−1.00î + 2.00ĵ – 3.20k) m/s. (a) The velocity of the 0.500 kg sphere after the collision is (-0.90î + 3.00ĵ − 8.00k) m/s. Find the final velocity of the 1.50 kg sphere. R = m/s Identify the kind of collision (elastic, inelastic, or perfectly inelastic). ○ elastic O inelastic O perfectly inelastic (b) Now assume the velocity of the 0.500 kg sphere after the collision is (-0.250 + 0.850ĵ - 2.15k) m/s. Find the final velocity of the 1.50 kg sphere. ✓ = m/s Identify the kind of collision. O elastic O inelastic O perfectly inelastic (c) Take the velocity of the 0.500 kg sphere after the collision as (−1.00ỉ + 3.40] + ak) m/s. Find the value of a and the velocity of the 1.50 kg sphere after an elastic collision. (Two values of a are possible, a positive value and a negative value. Report each with their corresponding final velocities.) a…
A cannon is rigidly attached to a carriage, which can move along horizontal rails, but is connected to a post by a large spring, initially unstretched and with force constant k = 1.31 x 104 N/m, as in the figure below. The cannon fires a 200-kg projectile at a velocity of 136 m/s directed 45.0° above the horizontal. 45.0° (a) If the mass of the cannon and its carriage is 5000 kg, find the recoil speed of the cannon. m/s (b) Determine the maximum extension of the spring. m (c) Find the maximum force the spring exerts on the carriage. (Enter the magnitude of the force.) N
