- A cannon is rigidly attached to a carriage, which can move along horizontal rails but is connected to a post by a large spring, initially unstretchcd and with force constant k = 2.00 104 N/m, as shown in Figure P8.60. The cannon fires a 200-kg projectile at a velocity of 125 m/s directed 45.0 above the horizontal. (a) Assuming that the mass of the cannon and its carriage is 5 000 kg, find the recoil speed of the cannon. (b) Determine the maximum extension of the spring. (c) Find the maximum force the spring exerts on the carriage. (d) Consider the system consisting of the cannon, carriage, and projectile. Is the momentum of this system conserved during the firing? Why or why not?arrow_forwardA car with mass mc=1270kg is traveling west through an intersection with a speed of vc=14.41m/s when a truck of mass mt=1740kg traveling south at vt=6.63m/s fails to yield. The vehicles collide, they stick together, and they slide on the asphalt which has a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk=0.500. Associate the positive x direction with east and the positive y direction with north. a. Using the symbols provided in the palette below as opposed to their numeric equivalents, enter an expression, in Cartesian unit-vector notation, for the velocity of the vehicles immediately after the collision, as they begin to slide as a composite object. b.

If the ball is in contact with the bat for a time of 1.45 ms, what is the average force exerted on the ball by the bat? Neglect the weight of the bat, since it is so much less than the force of the bat.
