Question
An archer shoots an 18.0-gram arrow at a 43.0-gram target on a wall 32.0 m high. If the arrow is shot at a velocity of v0 = 60.0 m/s, the speed of the arrow is 54.5 m/s when it reaches the target.
If the arrow becomes embedded in the target and they both fly off the wall together, at what speed will they leave the wall?
Should I use 60.0 m/s in the equation or 54.5 m/s:
V’=(0.018)(60.0m/s)/ (0.061) -or- V’=(0.018)(54.5m/s)/ (0.061)

- 5. The figure shows three balls of clay moving on a frictionless horizontal surface just before a collision. The three collide simultaneously and stick together. Find the speed and direction of the blob of clay after the collision.

Ball one is 15kg and is being rolled down a hill of height 32m, ball two is 20kg, and is rolling down in the opposite direction from a height of 18.5m. What are their final velocities at the bottom of the hill? If they are now on a flat plane and collide in a completely elastic collision, what are their final speeds after the collision?

Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.70 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 79.1° south of west at 4.25 m/s. They collide and stick together, as the driver of one car reaches out and grabs hold of the other driver. The two bumper cars move off together after the collision, and friction is negligible between the cars and the ground. W-OE Car 2 Car 1 Vii (a) If the masses of bumper cars 1 and 2 are 596 kg and 625 kg respectively, what is the velocity of the bumper cars immediately after the collision? magnitude m/s direction ° east of south (b) What is the kinetic energy lost in the collision?arrow_forward

- The Hulk (200kg of pure angry muscle)collides head-on with a truck (2500kg). If the Hulk was running at 10.0m/s and the truck was moving at 15.0 m/s in the opposite direction, after they stick together, what is their speed (in m/s)? Either the Hulk or the truck needs a negative initial velocity.arrow_forwardAn astronaut is playing with a ping pong paddle and ball in zero gravity. The astronaut is 12m from a flat wall and floating toward it at 4m/s. A ping pong ball bounces back and forth between his paddle and the wall at 11m/s. Eventually, the astronaut reaches the wall and traps the ball against it. (The ball’s collisions are “elastic”, meaning the ball does not lose energy so its speed is constant.) (The astronaut is much more massive than the ball, so the ball bounces don’t affect his/her speed.) Through what distance does the ball travel during this process in m?arrow_forwardAn outfielder throws a 0.148 kg baseball with velocity 30 m/s at 25° above horizontal.

- 3m v = 0 7. A projectile is launched at a 53° angle with a speed of 100 m/s. At the highest point, the projectile explodes into two parts, one three times heavier than the other. After the explosion, the lighter fragment's initial velocity is zero. a. What is the speed of the projectile just before the explosion? [60.2] b. What is the speed v of the heavier fragment just after the explosion? i) How high is the projectile when the explosion happens? ii) How long does it take each piece to reach the ground? с. d. i) How far horizontally is the projectile when the explosion happens? ii) If the projectile hadn't exploded, how far from the launch point would it have landed?

You decide energy drinks aren't for you and throw it on the ground. At the moment the energy drink leaves your hand, it is moving downwards with a speed of 7 m/s and is 1 meter above the ground. Calculate the speed of the energy drink in m/s just before it impacts the ground. As before, assume g = 10 m/s^2. You may neglect air friction.
