A bullet weighing 6.00 g is fired horizontally at a speed of 458 m/s into a wooden block weighing 1.00 kg. (Note: The block is resting on a frictionless horizontal surface). Find how fast the block will be moving if the bullet becomes embedded in the block and find out how much thermal energy was generated during the collision.
A 6.0 ✕ 104 kg space probe is traveling at a speed of 12000 m/s through deep space. Retrorockets are fired along the line of motion to reduce the probe's speed. The retrorockets generate a force of 3.0 ✕ 105 N over a distance of 2400 km. What is the final speed of the probe? m/s
An archer shoots an arrow toward a 300-g target that is sliding in her direction at a speed of 2.10 m/s on a smooth, slippery surface. The 22.5-g arrow is shot with a speed of 42.0 m/s and passes through the target, which is stopped by the impact. What is the speed of the arrow after passing through the target? m/s
You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 50.1 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 1.97 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.380 seconds later. You can ignore air resistance. Based on the outcome of this experiment, when you step on the scale provided for you, what weight will it register for your body? 684 N 911 N 1,367 N 491.5 N
A 0.020 kg bullet is shot horizontally and collides with a 2.00 kg block of wood. The bullet embeds in the block and the block slides along a horizontal surface for 1.50 m. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.400, what was the original speed of the bullet? Include a diagram of the situation.
answer is vf= 1.0 m/s.
A baseball has a mass of 0.140 kg, and it is pitched towards home plate at a speed of 48.0 m/s. Assume that the ball is pitched horizontally and that the ball is hit horizontally back in the opposite direction. If the bat exerts an average force of 9100 N for 2.80 ms, what is the final speed of the ball in m/s?
