Question
A woman holding a large rock stands on a frictionless, horizontal
sheet of ice. She throws the rock with speed v0 at an angle a above the
horizontal. Consider the system consisting of the woman plus the rock.
Is the momentum of the system conserved? Why or why not? Is any
component of the momentum of the system conserved? Again, why or
why not?

- As shown in the figure below, cars #1 and #2 are travelling across a horizontal surface. The cars are equipped with a coupling arrangement similar to the one on railroad cars. Car #1 overtakes car #2 and they have a totally inelastic collision and become coupled together. You know the mass of each car; m, = 14.5 kg and m, = 45.0 kg. In addition, you are provided with the following graph, which shows the momentum of car #1 before, during, and after the collision. Determine the velocity of car #2 before the collision. You may ignore friction and treat the wheels of the cars as massless. 922 You have been given the mass of car #1 and the graph provides you with the momentum of the car after the collision. See if you can use this information to determine the velocity of car #1 after the collision. Knowing the velocity of car #1 after the collision and also knowing that the two cars are coupled together, see if you can determine the velocity and hence momentum of car #2 after the collision.…arrow_forwardQuesitos: The drawing shows a bullet passing through two blocks that rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Rule out air resistance. The bullet completely passes through the first block and is buried in the second block. Notice that after the collision, both blocks move. Can the Conservation Principle be applied from Linear Momentum to this three-body system? Justify your answer (Ignore any loss of mass from the first block). Problem: A 4.00-g bullet moves horizontally with velocity of + 355m / s. The mass of the first block is 1150 g, and its velocity after the bullet passes through it it is +0.550 m / s. The mass of the second block is 1530 g.
