Chapter 4, Problem 53CP

Pellets of solidified metal fall to the ground without air resistance. Find the smallest angle that the final velocity of an impacting fragment makes with the horizontal.

An archer shoots an 18.0-gram arrow at a 43.0-gram target on a wall 32.0 m high. If the arrow is shot at a velocity of v0 = 60.0 m/s, the speed of the arrow is 54.5 m/s when it reaches the target.
If the arrow becomes embedded in the target and they both fly off the wall together, at what speed will they leave the wall?
Should I use 60.0 m/s in the equation or 54.5 m/s:
V’=(0.018)(60.0m/s)/ (0.061) -or- V’=(0.018)(54.5m/s)/ (0.061)
Projectile #1 is launched at t%=DOs at position (0,0) with an initial x-velocity of 5m/s and y-velocity of
10m/s. Projectile #2 is launched 1s after projectile #1 from an initlal position of (1,1) with an x-velocity
of 10m/s. Find the following: The position that the 2 projectiles collide at, the time it takes to collide,
and the Initial velocity of projectile #2 Including the launch angle.
A child with mass of 16.5 kg stands on the edge of a park bench and leaps into the air. Her initial speed is 2.4 m/s directed at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. After 0.28 seconds what is the horizontal component of her velocity in m/s?

- A mortar shell has an initial velocity v0= 13 m/s, at an angle θ0=60º. At the maximum height of the trajectory the shell explodes into two equal pieces. One piece has a speed immediately after the explosion of zero then falls vertically.

The initial speed of the Juggernaut is vJi and the initial speed of Colossus is vCi.

What is the impulse experienced by the Juggernaut? b. What is the impulse experienced by Colossus? c. In your own words, explain how these impulses must compare with each other and how they are related to the average force each superhero experiences during the collision.arrow_forwardDanielle launches a ball off of a platform of height h with velocity vo at an angle 0 above the horizontal.

- As part of an obstacle course, an athlete must kick a soccer ball into a 1 meter wide and 10 meter deep pit such that the ball hits a target at the bottom of the pit. In practice, a dynamics student that is participating in the race kicks the soccer ball such that the soccer ball will bounce off the far wall of the pit 5 meters below the surface and head towards the target. If the velocity of the ball before striking the wall at point A is v A = 3.02 – 103 m, determine the n-component of the ball's velocity vector (in m) after striking the wall. The size of the ball and the target are negligible relative to the dimensions of the pit, the gravity acceleration must be considered as 10 m and the coefficient of restitution at point A is e = 0.45. 5 т A 10 m 1marrow_forwardJust need Darrow_forwardA baseball with mass of 0.16 kg is batted into the air.

- Two friends are playing billiards at an arcade center. One guy hit the cue ball to strike at another ball where it is initially at rest. After the collision caused by the ball that was at rest, the cue ball moves at 2.50 m/s along a line making an angle e=14.0° with its original direction of motion and the second balI has a speed of 1.50 m/s. Find the answer for Part a,b and c. (Note: Both balls have the same mass.)
