During a routine flight in 1956, test pilot Tom Attridge put his jet fighter into a 20 dive for a test of the aircraft’s 20 mm machine cannons. While traveling faster than sound at 4000 m altitude, he shot a burst of rounds.Then, after allowing the cannons to cool, he shot another burst at 2000 m; his speed was then 344 m/s, the speed of the rounds relative to him was 730 m/s, and he was still in a dive. Almost immediately the canopy around him was shredded and his right air intake was damaged.With little flying capability left, the jet crashed into a wooded area, but Attridge managed to escape the resulting explosion. Explain what apparently happened just after the second burst of cannon rounds. (Attridge has been the only pilot who has managed to shoot himself down.)

The two cars, A and B, collided at right angles at the intersection. During the collision, the cars became entangled (AB) and moved off together to bump to a tree. Calculate the velocity (km/h) of car B just before collision with car A at the intersection. Right after bumping with the tree, determine the new velocity of the "entangled" cars. Also, compute for the percent energy lost from the cars after the two collisions occurred. Neglect the geometry of the cars before and after collision. Other details are tabulated below: Parameter Value Mass of car, m, (kg) Mass of car B, my (kg) 1300 1650 Velocity of car A just before collision with car B, 50 Vai (km/h) Velocity of car B just before collision with car A, Unknown, → V81 (km/h) Coefficient of restitution between cars A and B, Unknown EAB Coefficient of restitution between the entangled 0.2 cars (AB) and the tree (C), EABC. 30° Car B Car A
