Question
A 5 kg rock is shot vertically upwards at 10 m/s. At 5 m above ground, it breaks into two pieces of masses 2 kg and 3 kg. The 3 kg-piece moves horizontally with a velocity of 2 m/s immediately after breaking. Calculate the horizontal distance between the initial point where the 5 kg rock is shot and the landing point of the 2 kg-piece

- A tennis ball has a mass of 0.055 kg. A professional tennis player hits the ball hard enough to give it a speed of 52 m/s (about 117 miles per hour.) The ball moves toward the left, hits a wall and bounces straight back to the right with almost the same speed (52 m/s). As indicated in the diagram below, high-speed photography shows that the ball is crushed about d = 2.4 cm at the instant when its speed is momentarily zero, before rebounding. D Making the very rough approximation that the large force that the wall exerts on the ball is approximately constant during contact, determine the approximate magnitude of this force.arrow_forwardKyle, a 80.0 kg football player, leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.430 kg ball precisely at the peak of his jump, when he is 0.437 m off the ground. He hits the ground 0.0358 m away from where he leapt.

It collides with another stationary ball weighing 500 grams and also having a radius of 2cm. The collision occurs off-center, with the vertical components of the centers of the balls differing by 1cm. Following the collision, the lighter ball attains a speed of 3m/s. Determine the velocity of the heavier ball after the collision and calculate the amount of energy lost during the collision.arrow_forward

For simplicity, assume the basketball and the baseball fall the full height and collide at ground level and that the coefficient of restitution between the floor and the basketball is 0.85. (The coefficient of restitution represents the ratio between the velocity just before collision and the velocity just after collision, the up bounce.) Determine the velocity of the baseball after its collision with the basketball. Assume a perfectly elastic collision between the baseball and the basketball an upward=positive sign convention and g = 10 N/kg.arrow_forward
