Consider the collision pictured below. While m2=10kgm2=10kg is initially at rest, horizontally moving m1=6kgm1=6kg with a speed of v1=11.8m/sv1=11.8m/s collides with it. After the collision, the two masses scatter with speeds of v′1=7.8m/sv1′=7.8m/s and v′2v2′. If θ1=48oθ1=48o, determine the speed of m2m2 after the collision, v′2=?v2′=?. Express your answer in units of m/sm/s with one decimal place.
Note: Please note that we do not know whether or not this is an elastic collision.

- As shown in Figure P8.20, a bullet of mass m and speed v passes completely through a pendulum bob of mass M. The bullet emerges with a speed of v/2. The pendulum bob is suspended by a stiff rod (not a string) of length , and negligible mass. What is the minimum value of v such that the pendulum bob will barely swing through a complete vertical circle?

If the mass of the ball is 100 grams, what is the impulse of the force exerted on the ball by the post? The correct answer is 9 N-s.arrow_forwardA satellite is following an elliptical orbit around earth. Its engines are capable of providing a one time impulse of a fixed magnitude. In order to maximize energy of satellite the impulse should be given :- (A) Along satellite's velocity when satellite is at perigee (B) Along satellite's velocity when satellite is at appogee (C) Away from earth, when satellite is at perigee (D) Away from earth, when satellite is at apogeearrow_forward
- You have been hired as an expert witness in an investiga- tion of a quadcopter drone incident. The incident occurred during a very rare meteor shower during which several unusually massive chunks of meteoric material were passing through the atmosphere and striking the ground. The unmanned drone was hovering at rest over the center of a house on fire, having just dropped fire retardant, when it seemed to spontaneously explode into four large pieces. The locations of the four pieces on the ground were meas- ured as follows, relative to the center of the house over which the drone was hovering: Distance from Center Direction Piece # Mass (kg) of House (m) from House 1 80.0 150 Due west 2 120 75.0 Due north 50.0 90.0 20.0° west of south 4 150 50.0 20.0° north of east The fire department is suggesting that the drone was defec- tive and exploded while in use. The drone manufacturer is suggesting that the drone was struck by a meteorite, causing the explosion.

Upon reaching the bottom of the track, it collides with particle B traveling in opposite direction with speed 3.25 m/s; particle B has a mass of 198 g. If the collision is (perfectly) elastic, how high could A get up along the quarter-of-a-circle track?arrow_forward
- A small ball of mass m is placed on top of a large ball of mass 3m. Both balls are dropped simultaneously from a height h = 3.75 m as shown in the figure. Assuming the radius of the large ball and small are small and thus negligible in comparison to the height they are being dropped meaning the small ball has the same speed the large ball has when it hits the ground. If the large ball rebounds elastically from the floor, collides with the small ball, stops and then the small ball rebounds elastically from the large ball, find the maximum height the small reaches.arrow_forwardQ12: In a collinear collision, a particle with an initial speed V, strikes a stationary particle of the same mass. If the final total kinetic energy is 50% greater than the original kinetic energy, the magnitude of the relative velocity between the two particles, after the collision, is (a) v2 v. (b) v./2 (c) v,v2 (d) v.4arrow_forwardA billiard ball will stop short when it collides head-on with a ball at rest. The ball cannot stop short, however, if the collision is not exactly head-on—that is, if the second ball moves at an angle to the path of the first. Do you know why? (Hint: Consider momentum before and after the collision along the initial direction of the first ball and also in a direction perpendicular to this initial direction.)arrow_forward

It collides with another stationary ball weighing 500 grams and also having a radius of 2cm. The collision occurs off-center, with the vertical components of the centers of the balls differing by 1cm. Following the collision, the lighter ball attains a speed of 3m/s.
