IM-5 Jae throws a 0.350kg ball so that it is traveling at 7.50m/s
y
toward a wall, approaching the wall at an angle of 35.0°
as shown in the figure to the right. After hitting the wall,
the speed of the ball is still 7.50m/s but its direction has
changed and it is now traveling at an angle of 35.0° away
from the wall as shown to the right.
a) Sketch on your paper a figure like the one shown to
the right and show the vectors for the momentum
before impact, PB, the momentum after impact, PA, and
use them to find Ap, the change in momentum for the ball.
Clearly label each vector.
b) Calculate the sign and magnitude of Apx.
the change in momentum in the x direction.
c) Calculate the sign and magnitude of Apy
the change in momentum in the y direction.
d) If the collision lasts for 0.150 seconds, find the magnitude
of the average force on the ball during the collision. What
is the direction of the average force on the ball during the
collision? Answer this by showing an arrow and label it as…

When a small insect ventures into the pit, it slides to the bottom and is seized by the antlion. If the prey attempts to escape, the antlion rapidly launches grains of sand at the prey, either knocking it down or causing a small avalanche that returns the prey to the bottom of the pit. Suppose an antlion launches grains of sand at an angle of 72 above the horizon. Find the launch speed v0 required to hit a target at the top of the pit, 5.0 cm above and 3.8 cm to the right of the antlion.arrow_forwardIn Example 2.6, we considered a simple model for a rocket launched from the surface of the Earth.
