Chapter 8, Problem 8.73P
Combining Conservation Laws. A 5.00-kg chunk of ice is sliding at 12.0 m/s on the floor of an ice-covered valley when it collides with and sticks to another 5.00-kg chunk of ice that is initially at rest (Fig. P8.73). Since the valley is icy, there is no friction. After the collision, how high above the valley floor will the combined chunks go?

- Assume the pucks in Figure P11.66 stick together after theircollision at the origin. Puck 2 has four times the mass of puck 1 (m2 = 4m1). Initially, puck 1s speed is three times puck 2s speed (v1i = 3v2i), puck 1s position is r1i=x1ii, and puck 2s position is r2i=y2ij. a. Find an expression for their velocity after the collision in terms of puck 1s initial velocity. b. What is the fraction Kf/Ki that remains in the system?arrow_forward(a) Figure P9.36 shows three points in the operation of the ballistic pendulum discussed in Example 9.6 (and shown in Fig. 9.10b). The projectile approaches the pendulum in Figure P9.36a. Figure P9.36b shows the situation just after the projectile is captured in the pendulum. In Figure P9.36c, the pendulum arm has swung upward and come to rest momentarily at a height A above its initial position. Prove that the ratio of the kinetic energy of the projectilependulum system immediately after the collision to the kinetic energy immediately before is m1|/(m1 + m2). (b) What is the ratio of the momentum of the system immediately after the collision to the momentum immediately before? (c) A student believes that such a large decrease in mechanical energy must be accompanied by at least a small decrease in momentum. How would you convince this student of the truth? Figure P9.36 Problem. 36 and 43. (a) A metal ball moves toward the pendulum. (b) The ball is captured by the pendulum. (c) The ballpendulum combination swings up through a height h before coming to rest.arrow_forwardA 3.00-kg steel ball strikes a wall with a speed of 10.0 m/s at an angle of = 60.0 with the surface. It bounces off with the same speed and angle (Fig. P8.9). If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.200 s, what is the average force exerted by the wall on the ball? Figure P8.9arrow_forward
- Two objects collide head-on (Fig. P11.39). The first object is moving with an initial speed of 8.00 m/s, and the second object is moving with an initial speed of 10.00 m/s. Assuming the collision is elastic, m1 = 5.15 kg, and m2 = 6.25 kg, determine the final velocity of each object. FIGURE P11.39arrow_forwardIn Figure P11.51, a cue ball is shot toward the eight-ball on a pool table. The cue ball is shot at the eight-ball with a speed of 8.00 m/s in a direction 30.0 from the y axis. Both balls have the same mass of 0.170 kg. After the balls undergo an elastic collision, the eight-ball travels in the negative x direction into the side pocket. What is the velocity of the cue ball after this collision? FIGURE P11.51arrow_forwardSven hits a baseball (m = 0.15 kg). He applies an average force of 50.0 N. The ball had an initial velocity of 35.0 m/s to the right and a final velocity of 40.0 m/s to the left as viewed by a fan in the stands. a. What is the impulse delivered by Svens bat to the baseball? b. How long is his bat in contact with the ball?arrow_forward
- Problems 44 and 45 are paired. C A model rocket is shot straight up. As it reaches the highest point in its trajectory, it explodes in midair into three pieces with velocities indicated by the arrows in Figure P10.44, as viewed from directly above the explosion. Rank the mass of each piece in order from smallest to largest and justify your answer. FIGURE P10.44 Problems 44 and 45.arrow_forwardA bullet of mass m is fired into a ballistic pendulum and embeds itself in the wooden bob of mass M (Fig. P11.33). After the collision, the pendulum reaches a maximum height h above its original position. a. Show that the kinetic energy of the system decreases by the factor m/(m + M) immediately after the collision. b. What is the change in momentum of the bullet-bob system due to the collision? FIGURE P11.33arrow_forwardA tennis player receives a shot with the ball (0.060 0 kg) traveling horizontally at 50.0 m/s and returns the shot with the ball traveling horizontally at 40.0 m/s in the opposite direction. (a) What is the impulse delivered to the ball by the tennis racquet? (b) What work does the racquet do on the ball?arrow_forward
- Two skateboarders, with masses m1 = 75.0 kg and m2 = 65.0 kg, simultaneously leave the opposite sides of a frictionless half-pipe at height h = 4.00 m as shown in Figure P11.49. Assume the skateboarders undergo a completely elastic head-on collision on the horizontal segment of the half-pipe. Treating the skateboarders as particles and assuming they dont fall off their skateboards, what is the height reached by each skateboarder after the collision? FIGURE P11.49arrow_forwardA small block of mass m1 = 0.500 kg is released from rest at the top of a frictionless, curve-shaped wedge of mass m2 = 3.00 kg, which sits on a frictionless, horizontal surface as shown in Figure P8.55a. When the block leaves the wedge, its velocity is measured to be 4.00 m/s to the right as shown in Figure P8.55b. (a) What is the velocity of the wedge after the block reaches the horizontal surface? (b) What is the height h of the wedge?arrow_forwardA 0.240-kg billiard ball that is moving at 3.00 m/s strikes the bumper of a pool table and bounces straight back at 2.40 m/s (80% of its original speed).
