- A spacecraft is separated into two parts by detonating the explosive bolts that hold them together. The masses of the parts are 1200 kg and 1800 kg; the magnitude of the impulse on each part from the bolts is 300 Ns. With what relative speed do the two parts separate because of the detonation?arrow_forwardAn object A moving with velocity v collides with a stationary object B. After the collision, A is moving with velocity 2 1 v and B with velocity 3 2 v. Find the ratio of their masses. If, instead of bouncing apart, the two bodies stuck together after the collision, with what velocity would they then move?arrow_forwardStarting with equations m1v1 =m1v′1 cos θ1+m2v′2 cosθ2 and 0 =m1v′1 sinθ1+m2v′2 sinθ2 for conservation of momentum in the x- and y-directions and assuming that one object is originally stationary, prove that for an elastic collision of two objects of equal masses, 1/ 2mv 12 = 1 /2mv′12+1 /2mv′22+mv′1v′2 cos( θ1−θ2).arrow_forward

One piece with mass m1 = 4.7 kg moves up and to the left at an angle of θ1 = 18° above the –x axis with a speed of v1 = 26 m/s. A second piece with mass m2 = 5.4 kg moves down and to the right an angle of θ2 = 23° to the right of the -y axis at a speed of v2 = 22.6 m/s.

- A 100-kg particle moves with an initial velocity of (4.0i, - 6.0j) m/s. If its velocity changes to v = (3.0i – 8.0j) m/s by the action of a force, determine The net work done on the particle. What principle would you use to solve this problem? The impulse on the particle. True or False: Impulse is equal to the rate of change of momentum.arrow_forwardA soccer ball of 4.40925 (2 kilosg) pounds moves to the right a speed of 0.5 m/s.
