A Plane flies parallel to the ground at a height of 3 km at 340 m/s over a mysterious island when an explosion tears the tail section (75,000 kg) off the fuselage (135,000 kg). The two pieces are found on the island 19 k m apart. Ignoring air resistance, find the horizontal velocity of the tail section and the fuselage just after the explosion.

Three skydivers are plummeting earthward. They are initially holding onto each other, but then push apart. Two skydivers of mass 70 and 80 kg gain horizontal velocities of 1.2 m/s north and 1.4 m/s southeast, respectively. What is the horizontal velocity of the third skydiver, whose mass is 55 kg?
From what might be a possible scene in the comic book The X-Men, the Juggernaut (mJ) is charging into Colossus (mC) and the two collide. The initial speed of the Juggernaut is vJi and the initial speed of Colossus is vCi. After the collision, the final speed of the Juggernaut is vJf and the final speed of Colossus is vCf as they each bounce off of the other, heading in opposite directions. a. What is the impulse experienced by the Juggernaut? b. What is the impulse experienced by Colossus? c. In your own words, explain how these impulses must compare with each other and how they are related to the average force each superhero experiences during the collision.
A trebuchet is a mighty siege engine capable of flinging 90-kg projectiles a distance of 300 meters. Assuming a perfect launch angle of 45o, calculate the speed with which one of these projectiles leaves the trebuchet. You can assume the projectile lands at the same height from which it was launched.
The 90kg man dives from the 40kg canoe. The velocity indicated in the figure isthat of the man relative to the canoe just after loss of contact. If the man, woman,and canoe are initially at rest, determine the horizontal component of the absolutevelocity of the canoe just after separation. Neglect drag on the canoe, and assumethat the 60kg woman remains motionless relative to the canoe.
A 10 kg projectile was launched at the horizontal ground at a velocity of 20 m/s, 10 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The projectile hit a 30 kg box on top of a table at O. 177 seconds. If the box developed a speed of 5.140 rn/s after impact, what is the speed of the projectile after the collision?provide fbd
You are standing on a large sheet of frictionless ice and holdinga large rock. In order to get off the ice, you throw the rock so it hasvelocity 12.0 m/s relative to the earth at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal.If your mass is 70.0 kg and the rock’s mass is 3.00 kg, what isyour speed after you throw the rock?
Two asteroids of equal mass in the asteroid beltbetween Mars and Jupiter collides. Asteroid Awas initially travelling at 50.0 m/s when it hits astationary asteroid B. After impact, the twoasteroids are deflected and travels in thedirection as shown in Picture. Find the speedof each asteroid after collision.
A0.3 kg ball on a rail is rolled down an incline, and then rolls across a table on a horizontal rail. It leaves the rail, and strikes the floor. Assume friction on the rail is negligible. A student finds that it takes 0.055 seconds to pass through a pair of photogates that are 0.183 m apart. The edge of the rail is 1.11 m above the floor. Find the horizontal velocity of the ball as it passes through the photogates. m/s How long does it take to hit the ground after leaving the rail? How far away from the edge of the table should a student place a coin so that the ball would hit the coin? m
Identical twins, each with mass 55.0 kg, are on ice skates andat rest on a frozen lake, which may be taken as frictionless.Twin A is carrying a backpack of mass 12.0 kg. She throws ithorizontally at 3.00 m/s to Twin B. Neglecting any gravityeffects, what are the subsequent speeds of Twin A and Twin B?
Far out in space, two rockets (160,000 kg and250,000 kg) are docked at opposite ends of a rigid 12 mlong connecting tunnel ofnegligible weight to the rockets.Both rockets start their engines ofstrength F1 = 198 kN and F2 =225 kN, respectively. How longdoes it take for the system toreach 14 rev/min?
Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A rocket has a total mass of 1.04 x 105 kg and a burnout mass of 1.11 x 104 kg, including engines, shell and payload. The rocket blasts off from Earth and exhausts all its fuel in 3.84 min, burning the fuel at a steady rate with an exhaust velocity of ve= 4.83 x 103 m/s. (a) If air friction and gravity are neglected, what is the speed of the rocket at burnout?(b) What thrust does the engine develop at liftoff?(c) What is the initial acceleration of the rocket if gravity is not neglected?(d) Estimate the speed at burnout if gravity isn't neglected.
A ball of mass 0.5 kilogram, initially at rest, is kicked directly toward a fence from a point 32 meters away, as shown above. The velocity of the ball as it leaves the kicker's foot is 20 meters per second at an angle of 37o above the horizontal. The top of the fence is 2.5 meters high. The kicker's foot is in contact with the ball for 0.05 second. The ball hits nothing while in flight and air resistance is negligible. (a) Determine the magnitude of the average net force exerted on the ball during the kick. (b) Determine the time it takes for the ball to reach the plane of the fence. (c) Will the ball hit the fence? If so, how far below the top of the fence will it hit? If not, how far above the top of the fence will it pass? (d) On the axes below, sketch the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the ball as functions of time until the ball reaches the plane of the fence.
