CP In a shipping company distribution center, an open cart of mass 50.0 kg is rolling to the left at a speed of 5.00 m/s (Fig. P8.87). Ignore friction between the cart and the floor. A 15.0-kg package slides down a chute that is inclined at 37° from the horizontal and leaves the end of the chute with a speed of 3.00 m/s. The package lands in the cart and they roll together. If the lower end of the chute is a vertical distance of 4.00 m above the bottom of the cart, what are (a) the speed of the package just before it lands in the cart and (b) the final speed of the cart?

- Two bumper cars at the county fair are sliding toward one another (Fig. P11.54). 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_forwardThree runaway train cars are moving on a frictionless, horizontal track in a railroad yard as shown in Figure P11.73. The first car, with mass m1 = 1.50 103 kg, is moving to the right with speed v1 = 10.0 m /s; the second car, with mass m2 = 2.50 103 kg, is moving to the left with speed v2 = 5.00 m/s, and the third car, with mass m3 = 1.20 103 kg, is moving to the left with speed v3 = 8.00 m /s. The three railroad cars collide at the same instant and couple, forming a train of three cars. a. What is the final velocity of the train cars immediately after the collision? b. Would the answer to part (a) change if the three cars did not collide at the same instant? Explain. FIGURE P11.73arrow_forwardA small block of mass m1 = 0.500 kg is released from rest at the top of a frictionless, curve-shaped wedge of mass m2 = 3.00 kg, which sits on a frictionless, horizontal surface as shown in Figure P8.55a. 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? (b) What is the height h of the wedge?arrow_forward
- hello, i need help in solving question 6 of this problem.arrow_forwardAs part of a carnival game, a my = 0.653 kg ball is thrown at a stack of 23.8 cm tall, mo = = 0.363 kg objects and hits with a perfectly horizontal velocity of Ubi = 10.8 m/s. Suppose that the ball strikes the topmost object. Immediately after the collision, the ball has a horizontal velocity of bf = 3.10 m/s in the same direction, the topmost object has an angular velocity of @= 1.63 rad/s about its center of mass, and all the remaining objects are undisturbed. Assume that the ball is not rotating and that the effect of the torque due to gravity during the collision is negligible. If the object's center of mass is located r = 16.7 cm below the point where the ball hits, what is the moment of inertia I, of the object about its center of mass? What is the center of mass velocity Uo.cm of the tall object immediately after it is struck?

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.arrow_forward

What is the magnitude of the bullet's translational momentum?arrow_forwardA 40.0-kg child stands at one end of a 70.0-kg boat that is 4.00 m long (Fig. P8.69). The boat is initially 3.00 m from the pier. The child notices a turtle on a rock beyond the far end of the boat and proceeds to walk to that end to catch the turtle. (a) Neglecting friction between the boat and water, describe the motion of the system (child plus boat). (b) Where will the child be relative to the pier when he reaches the far end of the boat? (c) Will he catch the turtle? (Assume that he can reach out 1.00 m from the end of the boat.)arrow_forward

Calculate the final velocity (magnitude in m/s and direction in degrees counterclockwise from the original direction) of the bowling ball.

In an effort to knock the cannonball off the cliff, some children tie one end of a rope around a stone of mass 80.0 kg and the other end to a tree limb just above the cannonball. They tighten the rope so that the stone just clears the ground and hangs next to the cannonball. The children manage to swing the stone back until it is held at rest 1.80 m above the ground. The children release the stone, which then swings down and makes a head-on, elastic collision with the cannonball, projecting it horizontally off the cliff. The cannonball lands in the ocean a horizontal distance R away from its initial position. (a) Find the horizontal component R of the cannonball’s displacement as it depends on m. (b) What is the maximum possible value for R, and (c) to what value of m does it correspond? (d) For the stone– cannonball–Earth system, is mechanical energy conserved…arrow_forward
