In terms of the variables given in GL Fig. 9.1, what is the momentum of the system immediately after the mass m becomes embedded in the pendulum bob?
The momentum of the system immediately after the mass
Answer to Problem 1EP
The momentum of the system immediately after the mass
Explanation of Solution
In the ballistic pendulum arrangement shown in GL Figure 9.1, a projectile of mass
Immediately after the collision, the momentum of the system can be computed by taking the product of the combined mass and the velocity with which it start moving. The combined mass of the system will be

- = Two masses, 0.600kg and 0.300kg, begin uniform motion at the same speed, 0.800m/s, from the origin at t 0 and travel in the directions shown in Figure Problem 18.1. (a) Find the velocity of the center of mass in unit-vector notation. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of the velcoty of the center of mass. (e) Write the position vector of the center of mass as a function of time. 0.600 kg 45.0⁰ 45.0 0.500 kg. Figure Problem 18.1:arrow_forwardTwo particles of mass m1 = 1.4 kg and m2 = 2.9 kg undergo a one-dimensional head-on collision as shown in the figure below. Their initial velocities aling x are v1i = 11 m/s and v2i = -7.2 m/s. The two particles stick together after the collision (a completely inelastic collision). (Assume to the right as the positive direction). a) Find the velocity after the collision. answer is - 1.27 m/s b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision?arrow_forwardYou put an antimatter explosive in a 63 kg space rock, initially at rest. Upon detonation, the rock fractures into two pieces. A 26 kg chunk is observed to zip off to the right (the positive direction) at 23 m/s. Calculate the final velocity of the other chunk, in m/s. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)arrow_forward
- solve 13.132 using momentumarrow_forwardlet us imagine a scenario where we have two pendulums.. hehe. then we would have an elast1c collision when they both collide. look at the image and this is the scenario. lets say the left one is let go and it will hit the right one. we would have to assume m2=4m1 what will be the height of the left one after it hits the right one?arrow_forwardIn 1977 the planet Alderaan, with a mass of 3 × 1024 kg, exploded. Assume it was initially at rest and experienced no external interactions. Problem 3.2. Consider instead that the planet instead blew apart into three pieces, with 30% of its mass flying away at 3, 000 km/s, and 20% of its mass flying away at 5, 000 km/s at an angle of 120o relative to the velocity direction of the first fragment. Draw a diagram of this situation. What velocity did the rest of the planet have? Report the direction by specifying its angle relative to the velocity direction of the first fragment.arrow_forward
- 6.3 PQ1 Newton's second law can be stated that the force is equal to the rate of change of momentum, F = d(mv)/dt. Tak- ing the derivative by parts yields F = m(dv) / (dt) + v(dm) / (dt). This does not correspond to F = ma. What is the source of the discrepancy?arrow_forwardWe are now going to consider the transport of the grains of pollen in the air. A grain of pollen torn from the stamen by a gust of wind finds itself airborne. It is now in free fall becauseit only experiences the force due to its weight and a friction force proportional to its speed Use the preceding result (C.0.3) to explain why the grains of pollen can stay suspended in the atmosphere for a long time, hence they can spread over large distances under the influenceof the wind, before depositing on the ground and thereby causing allergies.arrow_forward6 a) Material point P(m) writes the flat curve, where_r(0+1)²=a influence of central force. Find the power law. a is constant, under the b) At the moment when the particle passes through the position 0, receives an impulse in the direction of its movement, which zeros the radial component of its velocity and doubles the transverse. Prove that the mobile will write the curve 3α I= 2 + cos √√3 2arrow_forward

Show that the opening anglebetween the paths of the m1 and m2 is 120⁰ 2.2.2) If the mass m1 has incident kinetic energy E find the energies of the emerging particles m1 and m2 in terms of E.arrow_forwardShows a cube at rest and a small object heading toward it. (a) Describe the directions (angle θ1) at which the small object can emerge after colliding elastically with the cube. How does θ1 depend on b, the so-called impact parameter? Ignore any effects that might be due to rotation after the collision, and assume that the cube is much more massive than the small object. (b) Answer the same questions if the small object instead collides with a massive sphere.arrow_forward. A thin strip of metal of mass M is bent into a quarter circle with radius R. Relative to a coordinate system where the center of the circle is at the origin, what is the position of its center of mass, (Xem, Yem)? The integrals you'll need to compute to find the center of mass are given below. You answer should be symbolic, in terms of R (for example, 0.1R).arrow_forward
