Chapter 13, Problem 38AP
Review. Two identical hard spheres, each of mass m and radius r, are released from rest in otherwise empty space with their centers separated by the distance R. They are allowed to collide under the influence of their gravitational attraction. (a) Show that the magnitude of the impulse received by each sphere before they make contact is given by [Gm3(1/2r − 1/R)1/2. (b) What If? Find the magnitude of the impulse each receives during their contact if they collide elastically.

A spaceship has length 120 m, diameter 25 m, and mass 4.0 x 103 kg as measured by its crew. As the spaceship moves parallel to its cylindrical axis and passes us, we measure its length to be 90 m. (a) What do we measure its diameter to be? (b) What do we measure the magnitude of its momentum to be?
Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time joyfully scampering
about on the cage's floor. Bryce tracks his mice's health diligently and just now recorded their masses as m₁ = 0.0145 kg,
m2 = 0.0141 kg, m3 = 0.0245 kg, and m4 = 0.0105 kg.
At this very instant, the x and y components (Ux, U,) of the mice's velocities are, respectively,
(U₁x, U₁₁y) = (0.591 m/s, -0.425 m/s,) (v2.x, U2,y) = (-0.605 m/s, -0.933 m/s,) (v3,x, U3,y) = (0.259 m/s, 0.305 m/s), and
(V4x, V4,y) = (-0.211 m/s, 0.569 m/s).
Calculate the x and y components px and py of Bryce's mice's total momentum.
Px =
kg.m/s
Py =

(1 eV = 1.602 1019 J) The collision is elastic. The initially moving electron is deflected by the collision. a. Is it possible for the initially stationary electron to remain at rest after the collision? Explain. b. The initially moving electron is detected at an angle of 40.0 from its original path. What is the speed of each electron after the collision? FIGURE P11.50arrow_forwardThe Moon’s craters are remnants of meteorite collisions. Suppose a fairly large asteroid that has a mass of 4.95 × 1012 kg (such an asteroid is about a kilometer across) strikes the Moon at a speed of 14.5 km/s relative to the Moon. What is the change in kinetic energy, in joules, in the collision? Such an event may have been observed by medieval English monks who reported observing a red glow and subsequent haze about the Moon.arrow_forward

A bullet of very small mass m = 20 g (m << M) is fired at a high speed v. = 120 m/s towards the first block. It quickly exits the first block at a reduced speed of 0.40 v, then strikes the second block, quickly getting embedded inside of it. All the motion happens on the x-axis. (a) find the speeds of the two blocks after their encounters with the bullet. (b) Now the first block catches up with the second one and collides with it. They got stuck together afterward and move forward. Find their common speed V after the collision. (c) The two blocks now hit a light spring of spring constant k = 35 N/m mounted on the wall. How far is the spring compressed before the blocks reach a momentary stop?arrow_forwardA cube measuring bxbxb with mass m was initially resting on a flat horzontal surface.
