Chapter 8.2, Problem 8.2TYU
A spring-loaded toy sits at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. When the spring releases, the toy breaks into equal-mass pieces A, B, and C, which slide along the surface. Piece A moves off in the negative x-direction, while piece B moves off in the negative y-direction. (a) What are the signs of the velocity components of piece C? (b) Which of the three pieces is moving the fastest?

Attached to m1 is a massless rocket, which exhausts its fuel in the
direction seen in the figure (this direction is parallel to the ramp).
F'a is an applied horizontal force on m2. Its magnitude is Fa=200
N, and m1 accelerates leftward with a magnitude of a0=3 m/s^2.

During a ballistics test, a bullet of mass 1.56 g is fired through a block of mass 5.6 kg. In this
particular test, the block is traveling horizontally towards the bullet. The bullet takes only 0.024
seconds to pass through the block as it reverses the block's velocity from 1.78 m/s to the right to
0.62 m/s to the left with constant acceleration.
Find the magnitude of the force that the bullet exerts on the block during the test.
