A 9 kg space rock has velocity vector v = 19 i (m/s). It collides with a second 15 kg space rock, which is initially at rest. The second rock is then observed to fly away with a speed of 5 m/s in a direction that is 31 degrees below the horizontal. Calculate the final speed of the first space rock, in m/s.
(Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
A bullet (m = 0.027 kg) is fired with a speed of 92.00 m/s and hits a block (M = 2.20 kg) supported by two light strings, stopping quickly. Find the height h to which the block rises. Find the angle through which the block rises, if the strings are 0.26 m long.

- From what might be a possible scene in the comic book The X-Men, the Juggernaut (mJ) is charging into Colossus (mC) and the two collide. The initial speed of the Juggernaut is vJi and the initial speed of Colossus is vCi. After the collision, the final speed of the Juggernaut is vJf and the final speed of Colossus is vCf as they each bounce off of the other, heading in opposite directions. a. What is the impulse experienced by the Juggernaut? b. What is the impulse experienced by Colossus? c. In your own words, explain how these impulses must compare with each other and how they are related to the average force each superhero experiences during the collision.arrow_forwardA baseball with mass of 0.16 kg is batted into the air.

To ensure that he can follow the ball’s movement, he moves his right handvertically so that it is always at the same height as the ball. After 0.100 seconds, he casts a rubber-likeelastic string from his right hand to instantly grab onto the ball. The string immediately sticks to the balllike gum, but does not impart any momentum onto it. The string then behaves like a spring that is initiallyunstretched, pulling the ball back with a force constant of k = 4.40 × 10−3 N/m. How far from the magicianwill the ball land?arrow_forward
