A battleship that is 5.00 x 107 kg and is originally at rest fires a 1300-kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of 550 m/s. (a) If the shell is fired straight aft (toward the rear of the ship), there will be negligible friction opposing the ship's recoil. Calculate its recoil velocity in meters per second. 0.0143 V m/s (b) Calculate the increase in internal kinetic energy in joules (that is, for the ship and the shell). This energy is less than the energy released by the gun powder – significant heat transfer occurs.

Problem: You are lead engineer on the design of a crash test apparatus that verifies collisions of varying types. A m = 2 kg mass, when suspended above from a light-weight wire of L = 1.5 m, is first released at an angle of 90°, and correspondingly a height h = L. The tethered ball swings toward the waiting block of M = 4 kg. collides, then rebounds back to an angle of 0 = 32°. In this case, the collision between m and M is elastic, which prompts M's rightwards motion a distance of Ax = 2.1 m, from which the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and surface on which it is slid is determined. m L h 0 M

In a ballistic pendulum experiment, a small marble is fired into a cup attached to the end of a pendulum. If the mass of the marble is 0.0315 kg and the mass of the pendulum is 0.250 kg, how high ℎ will the pendulum swing if the marble has an initial speed of 5.65 m/s? Assume that the mass of the pendulum is concentrated at its end so that linear momentum is conserved during this collision.
In a ballistics test, a 29 g bullet traveling horizontally at 1200 m/s goes through a 29-cm-thick 340 kg stationary target and emerges with a speed of 950 m/s . The target is free to slide on a smooth horizontal surface.
Our brave astronaut Ms. Rose Noneck is at rest spacewalking 9.3 m away from her spaceship when her jetpack runs out of electricity (powered by TCC?). And worst – she is down to 60 seconds of oxygen left – there's plenty in her spaceship as well as her delicious lunch of baba ganoush. She remembers Prof. P's class and throws her 23.6 kg jetpack in the opposite direction of her spaceship at 1.4 m/s. Her mass is 55 kg. Will she make it back to her spaceship before she runs out of air? Convince me with numbers - tell me how long in seconds it takes for her to get back. Will we be seeing her in Exam 4? Or is it the end for her?
