![**Ballistics Test Analysis**
During a ballistics test, a bullet of mass 1.56 g is fired through a block of mass 5.6 kg. In this particular test, the block is traveling horizontally towards the bullet. The bullet takes only 0.024 seconds to pass through the block as it reverses the block's velocity from 1.78 m/s to the right to 0.62 m/s to the left with constant acceleration.
Find the magnitude of the force \( \vec{F} \) that the bullet exerts on the block during the test.

The distance s in feet that the rocket travels from the ground after t seconds is given by s(t) = -16 t² + 560 t. Apply calculus to find the velocity of the rocket 3 seconds after being fired. Two objects move on a horizontal frictionless surface along the same line in the same direction which we shall refer to as the forward direction. The trailing object of mass has a velocity of forward. The leading object of mass has a velocity of forward. The trailing object catches up with the leading object and the two objects experience a completely inelastic collision. By using the rule of conservation of Momentum, calculate is the final velocity of each of the two objects?arrow_forward

- The high-speed winds around a tornado can drive projectiles into trees, building walls, and even metal traffic signs. In a laboratory simulation, a standard wood toothpick was shot by pneumatic gun into an oak branch. The toothpick mass was 0.14 g, its speed before entering the branch was 221 m/s, and its penetration depth was 17 mm. If its speed was decreased at a uniform rate, what was the magnitude of the force of the branch on the toothpick?arrow_forwardTwo objects (m1=11.0 kg and m2=3.00 kg) are separated by 40.0 cm. A third object (m3=1.00 kg) is placed at a location along the line connecting them such that the net force acting on it is zero. By considering the force vectors, this location must be between the two original objects. We will define x as the distance between m1 and m3 and y as the distance between m2 and m3. 1) Find the distance between 11.0-kg object and 1.00-kg object along the line AB where a small, 1.00-kg object could rest such that the net gravitational force on it due to the two objects shown is exactly zero.
