A rocket is propelled forward as very high speed gases are ejected out of its back. Which one of the following is the best explanation as to why the rocket is propelled forward? A) The high speed gases push on the rocket as they are ejected and propel it forward. B) The rocket is propelled forward because both energy and momentum must be conserved. c) The rocket is propelled forward due to the conservation of momentum. D Because the gases are pushing against the air, the air propels the rocket forward.

*Chapter 9, Problem 57 In the figure, a ball of mass m = 61 g is shot with speed v; = 26 m/s (in the negative direction of an x axis) into the barrel of a spring gun of mass M = 247 g initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. Assume that the increase in thermal energy due to friction between the ball and the barrel is negligible. What fraction of the initial kinetic energy of the ball is stored in the spring? 1 the tolerance is +/-2%

Question 4 A 6000 kg truck moving with a velocity of 9.70 m/s collides head on with a 2500 kg car moving at 12.29 m/s. After the collision the two vehicles are stuck together. How much energy was lost in the collision? (445) A) O143718.48 J B) 0426670.66 J C) 093464.87 J D) 05918.91 J E) 0471069.88 J
A 200-g bullet, initially travelling at 400 m/s, collides with a 1.50 kg block that sits on the edge of a tabletop 1.00 m above the floor. After 3.0 ms, the bullet has embedded in the block. Subsequently, the combination is launched onto the floor. What is the velocity of the combination after the collision? What is the magnitude of the average force acting on the block during the collision? How much energy was lost in the collision? How far horizontally did the combination travel before hitting the floor? Assume air resistance is negligible. If the bullet was travelling twice as fast, by what factor would your answer to (d) change?

One newly discovered light particle has a mass of m and property q. Suppose it moves within the vicinity of an extremely heavy (fixed in place) particle with a property Q and mass M. When the light particle is xi distance from the heavy particle, it is moving directly away from the heavy particle with a speed of vi. a) What is the lighter particle's speed when it is xf away from the heavy particle?
A 1kg object with initial speed v collides with a 2kg object (which is initially standing still). The objects stick together in a perfectly inelastic collision. Check all the following answers which are true statements. There may be more than one correct answer! The total kinetic energy (in the form of moving objects) is the same before and after the collision. More than 50% of the initial momentum is converted to non-conservative work. The final speed of the objects is v. More than 50% of the initial kinetic energy is converted to non-conservative work. The total momentum is the same before and after the collision.
When no energy is lost to thermal modes in a collision, the coefficient of restitution is e = 1. This represents the ideal golfing equipment. The legal maximum is e = 0.83. A 200-g clubhead moving at 88 mph strikes a golf ball. The mass of the golf ball is 45 g. Determine the amount of energy that winds up as KEclubhead, KEball, and Etherm for e = 0.83. Round the final answer to two decimal places.
The reason why I used 2g instead than g is that I have to cancel 2 "g" from the left side. Meaning I had to add 1/2g on the right side. Why are you instead adding only 1/g? Sorry, sometimes I get lost in the simple steps.

The following are multiple choice questions. No explanations required.Choose the correct answer g) Two balls are dropped from the same height. Both balls bounce (perfectly elastic) when they hit theground. Ball A has half the mass of ball B. Which ball has a greater speed after the bounce?h) Two balls are thrown from the same initial height above the ground. Ball A is thrown straight down.Ball B is thrown straight up. Both balls have the same initial speed. Which ball has the larger speedwhen it hits the ground?i) Two identical balls roll down a frictionless track. The tracks are the same height from top to bottom.Track A is straight and track B is curved. If both balls are released from rest, which ball reaches thebottom with the larger speed?j) You see two identical freight trucks driving down the highway. In both cases, the trailer is bouncing upand down on its springs. Truck A is heavier than truck B. Which truck bounces with a higher frequency?
