Chapter 8, Problem 8.71P
CP An 8.00-kg block of wood sits at the edge of a frictionless table, 2.20 m above the floor. A 0.500-kg blob of clay slides along the length of the table with a speed of 24.0 m/s, strikes the block of wood, and sticks to it. The combined object leaves the edge of the table and travels to the floor. What horizontal distance has the combined object traveled when it reaches the floor?

- An astronaut out on a spacewalk to construct a new section of the International Space Station walks with a constant velocity of 2.00 m/s on a flat sheet of metal placed on a flat, frictionless, horizontal honeycomb surface linking the two parts of the station. The mass of the astronaut is 75.0 kg, and the mass of the sheet of metal is 245 kg. a. What is the velocity of the metal sheet relative to the honeycomb surface? b. What is the speed of the astronaut relative to the honeycomb surface?arrow_forwardA cart filled with sand rolls at a speed of 1.0 m/s along a horizontal path without friction. A ball of mass m = 2.0 kg is thrown with a horizontal velocity of 8.0 m/s toward the cart as shown in Figure P11.79. The ball gets stuck in the sand. What is the velocity of the cart after the ball strikes it? The mass of the cart is 15 kg. FIGURE P11.79 Problems 79 and 80.arrow_forwardA girl of mass mg is standing on a plank of mass mp. Both are originally at rest on a frozen lake that constitutes a frictionless, flat surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity vgp to the right relative to the plank. (The subscript gp denotes the girl relative to plank.) (a) What is the velocity vpi of the plank relative to the surface of the ice?

- 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?arrow_forwardKyle, a 95.0 kg football player, leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.430 kg ball precisely at the peak of his jump, when he is 0.437 meters off the ground. He hits the ground 0.0307 meters away from where he leapt. If the ball was moving horizontally when it was caught, how fast was the ball traveling? ball's speed: m/sarrow_forwardAn 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)arrow_forward
- A 0.30 kg ball moving at 50 m/s strikes a stationary 3.0 kg box. The ball sticks to the box and the ball-box combination moves into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is 0.60. What is the distance traveled by the ball-box system before coming to a complete stop? O 2.0 m O 1.1 m O 1.8 m O 1.5 m O 2.1 m Save for Later Submit Answerarrow_forward41. An arrow (m = 5.0 g) is fired at a styrofoam block (m = 150 g) sitting on the edge of a frictionlesstable. The tabletop is 1.1 m above ground. The arrow enters the block horizontally at va1 = 35 m/sand passes through to the other side, exiting horizontally at va2 = 15 m/s. a) Determine the speed of the styrofoam after the arrow exits the block. b) Determine where the Styrofoam will land with respect to the arrow. Assume the arrow passedright through the centre of mass of the block, and both objects drop the same vertical distance tothe ground.arrow_forwardA 1.1 g pebble is stuck in a tread of a 0.74 m diameter automobile tire, held in place by static friction that can be at most 3.5 N .

- A 0.420 kg block of wood hangs from the ceiling by a string and a 0.0750 kg wad of putty is thrown straight upward, striking the bottom of the block with a speed of 5.74 m/s. The wad of putty sticks to the block. How high does the putty-block system rise above the original position of the block?arrow_forwardProblem B2. A small box of mass m = 1.50 kg starts from rest and glides down a smooth, frictionless hill from a height h = 2.00 m to the base, where it meets a rough plank of mass M = 5.00 kg that is resting on the frictionless horizontal ground surface. Due to the friction between the box and the plank, its speed is reduced until, at a certain moment, it begins to move together with the plank as if they were a single object. M Figure B2.

Justify your reasoning.arrow_forwardA0.3 kg ball on a rail is rolled down an incline, and then rolls across a table on a horizontal rail. It leaves the rail, and strikes the floor. Assume friction on the rail is negligible. A student finds that it takes 0.055 seconds to pass through a pair of photogates that are 0.183 m apart. The edge of the rail is 1.11 m above the floor. Find the horizontal velocity of the ball as it passes through the photogates. m/s How long does it take to hit the ground after leaving the rail?
