(a)
The height up to which the skeet will go.
(a)
Answer to Problem 78GP
The pellet and skeet system goes 6.5 m vertically higher.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The skeet of mass
Formula used:
According to the conservation of momentum principle, the total momentum before and after collision remains constant
Newton’s third equation of motion is
The range of the projectile motion is
Calculation:
Range of the projectile motion is
Considering vertically upward being positive. Now, using Newton’s second equation of motion to find the vertical distance traveled
Now, calculating the horizontal and vertical component of velocity after the elastic collision is
Now, calculating extra height is achieved by the system of pallet and skeet using vertical speed.
Conclusion:
The pellet and skeet system goes 6.5m vertically higher.
(b)
The extra distance
(b)
Answer to Problem 78GP
The extra distance
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The skeet of mass
Formula used:
Newton’s second equation of motion is
Distance-speed relationship is
Calculation:
The time required to fall to the ground would be
Since time cannot be negative. The accepted value of time would be
Thus, horizontal distance traveled by the system after the collision is
Horizontal distance traveled by the skeet in the non-collision scenario would be
Conclusion:
The extra distance
