Amplified Rebound Height Two small rubber balls are dropped from rest at a height h above a hard floor When the balls are released, the lighter ball (with mass m) is directly above the heavier ball (with mass M) Assume the heavier ball reaches the floor first and bounces elastically, thus, when the balls collide, the ball of mass M is moving upward with a speed u and the ball of mass m is moving downward with essentially the same speed. In terms of h find the height to which the ball of mass m rises after the collision (Use the results given in Problem 83, and assume the balls collide at ground level.)

- A particle of mass m moving along the x-axis with a velocity component +u collides head-on and sticks to a particle of mass m/3 moving along the x-axis with the velocity component −u. What is the mass M of the resulting particle?arrow_forwardA 2.0-g particle moving at 8.0 m/s makes a perfectly elastic head-on collision with a resting 1.0-g object. (a) Find the speed of each particle after the collision. (b) Find the speed of each particle after the collision if the stationary particle has a mass of 10 g. (c) Find the final kinetic energy of the incident 2.0-g particle in the situations described in parts (a) and (b). In which case does the incident particle lose more kinetic energy?arrow_forwardA superball of mass M and a marble of mass m are dropped from a height h with the marble just on top of the superball. A superball has a coefficient of restitution of nearly 1 (i.e., its collision is essentially elastic). Ignore the sizes of the superball and marble. The superball collides with the floor, rebounds, and smacks the marble, which moves back up. How high does the marble go if all the motion is vertical? How high does the superball go?arrow_forward
- A skater of mass 40 kg is carrying a box of mass 5 kg. The skater has a speed of 5 m/s with respect to the floor and is gliding without any friction on a smooth surface. a. Find the momentum of the box with respect to the floor. b.

- In a laboratory experiment, an electron with a kinetic energy of 50.5 keV is shot toward another electron initially at rest (Fig. P11.50). (1 eV = 1.602 1019 J) The collision is elastic. The initially moving electron is deflected by the collision. a. Is it possible for the initially stationary electron to remain at rest after the collision? Explain. b. The initially moving electron is detected at an angle of 40.0 from its original path. What is the speed of each electron after the collision?

Suppose a fairly large asteroid that has a mass of 5.001012 kg (about a kilometer across) strikes the Moon ata speed of 15.0 km/s. (a) At what speed does the Moon recoil after the perfectly inelastic collision (the mass of the Moon is 7.361022 kg) ? (b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision? Such an event may have been observed by medieval English monks who reported observing a red glow and subsequent haze about the Moon. (c) In October 2009, NASA crashed a rocket into the Moon, and analyzed the plume produced by the impact. (Significant amounts of water were detected.) Answer part (a) and (b) for this real-life experiment. The mass of the rocket was 2000 kg and its speed upon impact was 9000 km/h. How does the plume produced alter these results?arrow_forward(a) What is the mass of a large ship that has a momentum of 1.60109kgm/s, when the ship is moving at a speed of 48.0 km/h?

- Figure P9.59a shows an overhead view of the configuration of two pucks of mass In on frictionless ice. The pucks are tied together with a string of length 1' and negligible mass. At time t = 0, a constant force of magnitude F begins to pull to the right on the center point of the string. At time t, the moving pucks strike each other and stick together. At this time, the force has moved through a distance 4 and the pucks have attained a speed v (Fig. P9.59b). (a) What is v in terms of F, d, e, and in?
