- A 44.0-kg child finds himself trapped on the surface of a frozen lake, 10.0 m from the shore. The child slips with each step on the frictionless ice and remains the same distance from the shoreline. Egged on by his parents, he throws a 0.750-kg ball he is carrying toward the center of the lake with a horizontal speed of 1.50 m/s, in the direction opposite that of the shoreline. a. Does the act of throwing the ball cause the child to move? If so, what are the speed and the direction of his motion with respect to the Earth? b. What are the forces acting on the child when he throws the ball?arrow_forwardEach Voyager spacecraft was accelerated toward escape speed from the Sun by the gravitational force exerted by Jupiter on the spacecraft. (a) Is the gravitational force a conservative or a nonconservative force? (b) Does the interaction of the spacecraft with Jupiter meet the definition of an elastic collision? (c) How could the space-craft be moving faster after the collision?arrow_forwardAn archer shoots an arrow toward a 3.00 102-g target that is sliding in her direction at a speed of 2.50 m/s on a smooth, slippery surface. The 22.5-g arrow is shot with a speed of 35.0 m/s and passes through the target, which is stopped by the impact. What is the speed of the arrow after passing through the target?arrow_forward
- In a head-on, inelastic collision, a 4,000-kg truck going 10 m/s east strikes a 1,000-kg car going 20 m/s west. (a) What is the speed and direction of the wreckage? (b) How much kinetic energy was lost in the Collision?arrow_forwardA 0.0250-kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 550 m/s in a 3.00-kg rifle. The pain of the rifle's kick is much worse if you hold the gun loosely a few centimeters from your shoulder rather than holding it tightly against your shoulder. (a) Calculate the recoil velocity of the rifle if it is held loosely away from the shoulder. (b) How much kinetic energy does the rifle gain? (c) What is the recoil velocity if the rifle is held tightly against the shoulder, making the effective mass 28.0 kg? (d) How much kinetic energy is transferred to the rifle shoulder combination? The pain is related to the amount of kinetic energy, which is significantly less in this latter situation. (e) Calculate the momentum of a 110-kg football player running at 8.00 m/s. Compare the player's momentum with the momentum of a hard-thrown 0.410-kg football that has a speed of 25.0 m/s. Discuss its relationship to this problem.arrow_forwardYou have just planted a sturdy 2-m-tall palm tree in your front lawn for your mother's birthday. Your brother kicks a 500 g ball, which hits the top of the tree at a speed of 5 m/s and stays in contact with it for 10 ms. The ball falls to the ground near the base of the tree and the recoil of the tree is minimal. (a) What is the force on the tree? (b) The length of the sturdy section of the root is only 20 cm. Furthermore, the soil around the roots is loose and we can assume that an effective force is applied at the tip of the 20 cm length. What is the effective force exerted by the end of the tip of the root to keep the tree from toppling? Assume the tree will be uprooted rather than bend. (c) What could you have done to ensure that the tree does not uproot easily?arrow_forward
