Jerry, the mouse, has managed to hack into the operating software of Mechano ( mM = 2.80 kg), the evil robot cat. Jerry instructs Mechano to fire a projectile ( mp 2.00 x 10-2 kg) at Tom the cat. Answer the two parts below, using three sig figs. Part A - When the cannon fires, Mechano rolls backward with a recoil speed of 0.630 m/s. What is the speed of the projectile, up, when it ermeges from the cannon? Part B - How much energy, AE, is released by the gunpowder that explodes inside the cannon when the projectile is fired?

One object (m1 = 0.200 kg) is moving to the right with a speed of 2.00 m/s when it is struck from behind by another object (m2 = 0.300 kg) that is moving to the right at 6.00 m/s. If friction is negligible and the collision between these objects is elastic, find the final velocity of each.
A cart filled with sand rolls at a speed of 1.0 m/s along a horizontal path without friction. A ball of mass m = 2.0 kg is thrown with a horizontal velocity of 8.0 m/s toward the cart as shown in Figure P11.79. The ball gets stuck in the sand. What is the velocity of the cart after the ball strikes it? The mass of the cart is 15 kg. FIGURE P11.79 Problems 79 and 80.

A model rocket is shot straight up and explodes at the top of its trajectory into three pieces as viewed from above and shown in Figure P10.44. The masses of the three pieces are mA = 100.0 g, mB = 20.0 g, and mC = 30.0 g. Immediately after the explosion, piece A is traveling at 1.50 m/s, and piece B is traveling at 7.00 m/s in a direction 30 below the negative x axis as shown. What is the velocity of piece C? FIGURE P10.44 Problems 44 and 45. 45. We can use the conservation of momentum (Eq. 10.9). The total initial momentum is zero, so the sum of all the final momenta should be zero. mAvAf+mBvBf+mCvCf=0 This velocities for A and B can be expressed as vectors. vAf=1.50jm/svBf=(7.00im/s)cos30(7.00jm/s)sin30=(6.06i3.50j)m/s We can now solve the momentum equation. (100.0g)(1.50jm/s)+(20.0g)(6.06i3.50j)m/s+(30.0g)vCf=0vCf=(4.04i2.67j)m/s The velocity of piece C is down and to the right as expected.
