Thank youarrow_forwardA rocket is propelled forward as very high speed gases are ejected out of its back. Which one of the following is the best explanation as to why the rocket is propelled forward? The high speed gases push on the rocket as they are ejected and propel it forward. B) The rocket is propelled forward because both energy and momentum must be conserved. The rocket is propelled forward due to the conservation of momentum. Because the gases are pushing against the air, the air propels the rocket forward.arrow_forward

Puck #2 has an initial speed of 4.28 m/s and a mass that is some fraction f = 3 that of puck #1. Puck #1 is made of a hard wood and puck #2 is made of a very soft wood. As a result, when they collide, puck #1 makes a dent in puck #2 and 16.2% of the initial kinetic energy of the two pucks is lost. Before the collision, the two pucks approach each other in such a manner their momentums are of equal magnitude and opposite directions. Determine the speed of the two pucks after the collision.

- 3. Coal miners love physics, and in their spare time, they like to do physics experiments. One popular experiment involves using a sling shot to shoot lumps of coal into coal carts and seeing how far the carts move along the track as a result. One particular miner shoots a 5.0-kg lump of coal horizontally off a 10-m high ledge into a 90-kg cart waiting below, as shown. If the lump of coal has an initial speed of 30 m/s and the cart moves 0.80 m after the coal lands inside it, how much work did the friction between the cart and the track do on the cart? Also, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cart and the track? Hint: you can assume that friction is the only force acting on the cart in the horizontal direction.arrow_forwardB Two balls roll horiztonally off the edge of a 1.29 m tall table.

Both balls leave the table at the same instant. Which ball hits the ground first? Ball B Same Time O Ball A Cannot Tell How much time does it take Ball B to hit the ground after leaving the table? How far from the edge of the table does Ball A land? (horizontal distance) m How far from the edge of the table does Ball B land?
