- A rocket ship is travelling through space. The fuselage section has a mass of 505 kg. The Nose Cone (front end) section has a mass of 100 kg. The rocket is travelling at 52.0 m/s when the rocket engine stops and the two sections are separated by an explosion in such a way that they stay in a straight line. If the Nose Cone section (front end) continues forward at 98.0 m/s, determine the speed of the Fuselage section after the separation.arrow_forwardAs shown in the figure, a wooden ball with mass m₂ is initially at rest on a horizontal, frictionless table. A second wooden ball with mass m₁ moving with a speed 2.00 m/s, collides with m₂. Assume m₁ moves initially along the +x-axis. After the collision, m₁ moves with speed 1.00 m/s at an angle of 0 = 53.0° to the positive x-axis.

- Treat the collision as elastic. A moving billiard ball hits an identical (except for color) stationary ball. After the collision, the orange ball always goes off in the positive x-direction. The final speeds are v and V. Calculate the angle θ that the green ball goes off in. (θ should be positive.) V0 = the initial green body's speed = 6 m/s M = the mass of both balls = 6 kg φ = the incoming green ball's angle = 70o It's always a good idea to check your answer with the momentum-conservation and energy-conservation equations.arrow_forwardA girl launches a toy rocket from the ground. The engine experiences an average thrust of 5.26 N. The mass of the engine plus fuel before liftoff is 24.9 g, which includes fuel mass of 12.7 g. The engine fires for a total of 1.90 s. (Assume all the fuel is consumed.) (a) Calculate the average exhaust speed of the engine (in m/s). m/s (b) This engine is positioned in a rocket shell mass 42.5 g.
