A 30-g bullet is fired with a horizontal velocity of 450 m/s and becomes embedded in block B, which has a mass of 3 kg. After the impact, block B slides on 30-kg carrier C until it impacts the end of the carrier. Knowing the impact between B and C is perfectly plastic and the coefficient of kinetic friction between B and C is 0.2, determine (a) the velocity of the bullet and B after the first impact, (b) the final velocity of the carrier.

- Two spheres, each of mass m, can slide freely on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Sphere A is moving at a speed v0 = 16 ft/s when it strikes sphere B which is at rest, and the impact causes sphere B to break into two pieces, each of mass m/2.a) Knowing that 0.7 s after the collision one piece reaches Point C and 1.17 s after the collision the other piece reaches Point D, determine the velocity of sphere A after the collision.b) Knowing that 0.7 s after the collision one piece reaches Point C and 1.17 s after the collision the other piece reaches Point D, determine the angle θ and the speeds of the two pieces after the collision.arrow_forward(a). Two identical blocks A and B are at rest on a frictionless plane. Block C of the same weight hits block B with a velocity of 2.5 m/s. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution is 0.7 between block B and block C and 0.4 between block A and block B. (i) Determine the velocity of each block after all collisions have taken place. (ii) From your working in Q1(a)(i), predict whether there will be another collision after block B collides with block A? (iii) If the coefficient of restitution between block A and block B is changed to 0.7, explain with calculations whether there will be a collision between block B and block C after block B collides with block A?arrow_forwardA 75-g ball is projected from a height of 1.6 m with a horizontal velocity of 2 m/s and bounces from a 400-g smooth plate supported by springs.

Spheres A and B are attached to an inextensible, inelastic cord with a length I and are at rest in the position shown when sphere B is struck squarely by sphere C , which is moving with a velocity v0 . Knowing that the cord is taut when sphere B is struck by sphere C and assuming perfectly elastic impact between B and C , and thus the conservation of energy for the entire system, determine the velocity of each sphere immediately after impact.arrow_forwardA 600-g ball A is moving with a velocity of 6 m/s when it is hit as shown by a 1-kg ball B which has a velocity of magnitude 4 m/s.
