Chapter 9, Problem 41P

A hemispherical bowl is at rest on a frictionless counter. A mouse drops onto the bowl’s rim from a cabinet directly overhead. The mouse climbs down inside the bowl to eat crumbs at the bottom. If the bowl moves along the counter a distance equal to one-tenth of its diameter, how does the mouse’s mass compare with the bowl’s mass?

A raccoon is sitting on one end of the log and notice that there is an delicious apple just above the other end of the log on the still water as shown on figure. The raccoon starts to walk along the log of 10 meters length at a constant velocity of 0.1 m/s with respect to the log. Neglect its size. The mass of the raccoon is m = 20 kg and the mass of the log is M = 90 kg. Depending on your choice of method, you may answer (b) before (a). You should solve both methods (Center of Mass and Conservation of Momentum). a) As the raccoon is walking, what is the velocity of the log with respect to the shore? b) When the raccoon reaches the opposite end of the log, how far is he horizontally from the apple he desires?
A loaded gun is dropped on a frozen lake. The gun fires, with the bullet going horizontally in one direction and the gun sliding on the ice in the other direction. The bullet's mass is 0.04 kg, and its speed is 320 m/s. If the gun's mass is 2.2 kg, what is its speed (in m/s)?
A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.490 m/s. The total mass of the sled, man, and rock is 94.0 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.270 kg and the man can throw it with a speed of 15.5 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Determine the speed of the sled (in m/s) if the man throws the rock forward (i.e., in the direction the sled is moving). m/s Determine the speed of the sled (in m/s) if the man throws the rock directly backward. m/s
