Chapter 14.1, Problem 14.15P

A 13-kg projectile is passing through the origin O with a velocity v 0 = ( 35 m / s ) i when it explodes into two fragments A and B, of mass 5 kg and 8 kg, respectively. Knowing that 3 s later the position of fragment A is (90 m, 7 m, -14 m), determine the position of fragment B at the same instant. Assume a y = g = 9.81 m / s 2 and neglect air resistance.

At an amusement park in the greater area there are three 180-kg bumper cars occupied by seniors. The riders in cars A, B, and C have individual masses of 50, 70, and 40 kg respectively. Car A is observed to be moving to the right with a velocity v = 2 m/s and Car C is moving at vc = 1.5 m/s to the left. Car B is initially at rest with a collision imminent. The bumper cars are designed with a coefficient of restitution of 0.8 between each car, VC A B C Determine the final velocity of each car, after all impacts for the following two collision scenarios: (a) Cars A and Chit Car B at the same time, (b) Car A hits Car B before car C does (note there will be more than two total collisions)
An expert archer demonstrates his ability by hitting tennis balls thrown by an assistant. A 2-oz tennis ball has a velocity of (32 ft/s)i- (7 ft/s)j and is 33 ft above the ground when it is hit by a 1.2-oz arrow traveling with a velocity of (165 ft/s)j + (230 ft/s)k where j is directed upwards. Determine the position P where the ball and arrow will hit the ground, relative to point O located directly under the point of impact.
An object of mass m1 = 2.0 kg moving at 1.8 m/s collides with an object of mass m2 = 1.4 kg moving from the opposite direction with a speed of 1.5 m/s. After collision, m1 continues to go in the same direction with a speed of 0.3. What will be the speed of m2 after the collision?   A 9.0 bullet traveling with a speed of 100 m/s gets embedded in a wooden block of mass 1 kg. The wooden block is hanging like a pendulum as shown in the figure below. To what height h will the wooden block rise, when it comes to a momentary stop. (Hint: do this as a two step problem, g = 9.8 m/s2).
