Question
Please make sure this is right!!!
i got this problem wrong twice and this is my last try.
Mechanic physics:
The figure shows a two-ended “rocket” that is initially stationary on a frictionless floor, with its center at the origin of an x axis. The rocket consists of a central block C (of mass M = 5.90 kg) and blocks L and R (each of mass m = 1.20 kg) on the left and right sides. Small explosions can shoot either of the side blocks away from block C and along the x axis. Here is the sequence: (1) At time t = 0, block L is shot to the left with a speed of 3.00 m/s relative to the velocity that the explosion gives the rest of the rocket. (2) Next, at time t = 0.90 s, block R is shot to the right with a speed of 3.00 m/s relative to the velocity that block C then has (after the second explosion). At t = 2.60 s, what are (a) the velocity of block C (including sign) and (b) the position of its center?

Ceylani goes to the top of Jordan Hall, and throws a ball of mass 4.87 kg down from the top of Jordan which is 124 m tall. Her lab partner, Tray, is waiting at the bottom to collect the ball and return it, for more data trials. The ball has a speed of 3.8 m/s when Ceylani throws it straight down. What is the speed of the ball as it reaches the ground? Your Answer: units Answerarrow_forward
- A shell is shot with an initial velocity of 17 m/s, at an angle of 0o = 64° with the horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass (see the figure). One fragment, whose speed immediately after the explosion is zero, falls vertically. How far from the gun does the other fragment land, assuming that the terrain is level and that air drag is negligible? Explosionarrow_forwardIn the figure here, a stationary block explodes into two pieces L and R that slide across a frictionless floor and then into regions with friction, where they stop. Piece L, with a mass of 3.3 kg, encounters a coefficient of kinetic friction HL = 0.52 and slides to a stop in distance di = 0.32 m. Piece R encounters a coefficient of kinetic friction µR = 0.49 and slides to a stop in distance dr = 0.49 m.

On a cold day (-16.3 degree F), a young bull spies an older bull 13.9 m away and charges! The two meet in a head-on collision and come to a complete stop. The young bull has a mass of 681 kg and was running at a speed of 9.5 m/s. The older bull has a mass of 654 kg. The collision takes place on an icy patch, so you can ignore friction. (a) What was the speed of the older bull? (b) How many joules of energy were "lost" in this collision?arrow_forward
- A 0.020 kg bullet is shot horizontally and collides with a 2.00 kg block of wood. The bullet embeds in the block and the block slides along a horizontal surface for 1.50 m. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.400, what was the original speed of the bullet?

The tile must fit around a corner of a fireplace so a piece is sawed out. The extracted piece is a smaller square and its side length is only 25.0 cm. Because of the cutout segment, the center of mass of the ceramic tile shifts a bit from point A to point B. Nixon needs help to find the distance between point A and B the ceramic tile her boss gave him. 50cm 25cm 8 Sarrow_forward1.A cart of mass m moves with a speed v on a frictionless airtrack and collides with an identical cart that is stationary.
