The sled has a mass of 210 kg, and the combusting rocket fuel has a mass of 8 kg. In a simplified analysis, we assume that as a result of combustion, the rocket fuel is fired backward at a speed of 160 m/s. What final speed does the sled achieve?arrow_forwardA 180-g billiard ball is shot toward an identical ball at velocity vi = 6.90 m/s. The identical ball is initially at rest. After the balls hit, one of them travels with velocity v1, f = (1.80 + 2.22) m/s. What is the velocity of the second ball after the impact? Ignore effects of friction during this process.

After a time of 7.75 s she has slowed to a stop. Using your knowledge of momentum, determine the magnitude of the average force of friction acting on the ice skater while she slows to a stop.arrow_forwardA firework is launched and has a strictly vertical trajectory. It has velocity of 30 m/s right before it explodes. After it explodes, it instantaneously splits into three projectiles of equal mass. One of the projectiles continues to travel straight upwards with a velocity of 50 m/s. The right-most projectile now has an upward velocity of 45 m/s at 25◦ right of vertical. What is the final velocity of the left-most projectile?arrow_forward
