2. A 62 kg student stands on a 36 kg cart that is free to move in any direction. The cart and student are moving together with a velocity of 2.7 m/s [S]. The student then starts to walk so that her velocity is 3.1m/s [ E25oN] relative to the floor. Calculate the new velocity of the cart.
An unstable nucleus of mass 1.7 ✕ 10−26 kg, initially at rest at the origin of a coordinate system, disintegrates into three particles. One particle, having a mass of m1 = 1.8 ✕ 10−27 kg,moves in the positive y-direction with speed v1 = 5.4 ✕ 106 m/s. Another particle, of mass m2 = 9.0 ✕ 10−27 kg, moves in the positive x-direction with speed v2 = 3.2 ✕ 106 m/s. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the third particle. Answer the following:
this is a multi step problem but I am just having trouble with this part of the problem. Here are the values that I correctly calculated: mass of particle 1=6 kg initial velocity for particle 1= 185i+138j final velocity for particle 1= -68.89i+-50.67j F21=-15.9e-t/96i+-100sin(2πt/96)j I am trying to find: What is the x displacement for particle 1? I think that I need to use Newtons second law to get an expression for acceleration, and then integrate but I am not getting the right answers.
A man walks up to you and hands you an energy drink with mass 0.4 kg. You decide energy drinks aren't for you and throw it on the ground. At the moment the energy drink leaves your hand, it is moving downwards with a speed of 7 m/s and is 1 meter above the ground. Calculate the speed of the energy drink in m/s just before it impacts the ground. As before, assume g = 10 m/s^2. You may neglect air friction. Round your answer to one decimal place.
2. In a scifi movie about astronauts on a space station, one of the astronaut's safety line is cut while on a space walk. The astronaut, who 10 meters from the shuttle and is moving 0.1 m/s away from it, finds that the suit's thruster pack has also been damaged and no longer works and that only 30 seconds of air remains. To get back to the shuttle, the astronaut unstraps a 10-kg tool kit and throws it away with a speed of 5 m/s. In the scene, the astronaut, who has a mass of 100 kg without the toolkit, survives. Is this reasonable?
