A block of mass m = 1.50 kg is at rest on a ramp of mass M=4.50 kg which, in turn, is at rest on a frictionless horizontalsurface (Fig. P8.13a). The block and the ramp are alignedso that each has its center of mass located at x = 0. Whenreleased, the block slides down the ramp to the left and theramp, also free to slide on the frictionless surface, slides tothe right as in Figure P8.13b. Calculate xramp, the distance theramp has moved to the right, when xblock = -0.300 m.

- Two metersticks are connected at their ends as shown in Figure P10.18. The center of mass of each individual meterstick is at its midpoint, and the mass of each meterstick is m. a. Where is the center of mass of the two-stick system as depicted in the figure, with the origin located at the intersection of the sticks? b. Can the two-stick system be balanced on the end of your finger so that it remains lying flat in front of you in the orientation shown? Why or why not? FIGURE P10.18 (a) The center of mass of the stick on the x axis would be at (0.5 m, 0), and the center of mass of the stick on the stick on the y axis be at (0, 0.5 m), assuming the sticks are uniform. We can then use Equation 10.3 to find the x and y coordinates of the center of mass. xCM=1Mj=1nmjxj=12m[m(0.50m)]=0.25myCM=1Mj=1nmjyj=12m[m(0.50m)]=0.25m The location of the center of mass is (0.25m,0.25m) (b) No. The location of the center of mass is not located on the object, so your finger would not be in contact with the object. In a different orientation, balancing by applying a force at the center of mass might be possible, but not in the orientation shown.arrow_forwardA skateboarder with his board can be modeled as a particle of mass 76.0 kg, located at his center of mass (which we will study in Chapter 9). As shown in Figure P8.49, the skateboarder starts from rest in a crouch-ing position at one lip of a half-pipe (point ). The half-pipe is one half of a cylinder of radius 6.80 m with its axis horizontal. On his descent, the skateboarder moves without friction so that his center of mass moves through one quarter of a circle of radius 630 m. (a) Find his speed at the bottom of the half-pipe (point (b) Immediately after passing point he stands up and raises his arms, lifting his center of mass from 0.500 in to 0.950 m above the concrete (point ). Next, the skateboarder glides upward with his center of mass moving in a quarter circle of radius 5.85 m. His body is horizontal when he passes point , the far lip of the half-pipe. As he passes through point , the speed of the skateboarder is 5.14 m/s. How much chemical potential energy in the body of the skateboarder was converted to mechanical energy in the skateboarderEarth system when he stood up at point ? (c) How high above point does he rise? Caution: Do not try this stunt yourself without the required skill and protective equipment.

When the block leaves the wedge, its velocity is measured to be 4.00 m/s to the right as shown in Figure P8.55b. (a) What is the velocity of the wedge after the block reaches the horizontal surface?

Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.62 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 60.0 south of west at 10.00 m/s. They collide and stick together, as the driver of one car reaches out and grabs hold of the other driver. The two bumper cars move off together after the collision, and friction is negligible between the cars and the ground. a. If the masses of bumper cars 1 and 2 are 596 kg and 625 kg respectively, what is the velocity of the bumper cars immediately after the collision? b. What is the kinetic energy lost in the collision? c. Compare your answers to part (b) from this and Problem 54. Is one answer larger than the other? Discuss and explain any differences you find.arrow_forwardA tennis ball of mass mt is held just above a basketball of mass mb, as shown in Figure P8.22. With their centers vertically aligned, both are released from rest at the same moment so that the bottom of the basketball falls freely through a height h and strikes the floor. Assume an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball while the tennis ball is still moving down because the balls have separated a bit while falling. Next, the two balls meet in an elastic collision. (a) To what height does the tennis ball rebound? (b) How do you account for the height in (a) being larger than h? Does that seem like a violation of conservation of energy? Figure P8.22arrow_forward
