2. A hollow ring (red) of radius R and mass M is initially stationary at the
bottom of a ramp. It is struck by a horizontally moving particle (blue) of
mass m at speed vo as seen below:
Vo
Suppose the collision is elastic and that the ring begins to roll smoothly
afterwards.
(a) How much larger must M be compared to m so that the projectile
is travelling to the left after the collision?
(b) How high does the ring roll smoothly up the ramp?
(c) Would your answer in (b) be larger or smaller if the ring were instead
a solid disk of mass M and radius R? Explain.
A space station initially at rest, consists of a 1000-kg sphere and a 4000-kg sphere joined by a light cylinder, as seen in the figure below. A thruster rocket which can be located either on the lighter or heavier sphere, is fired brietly to provide a 1000 N force for 5s, in two different
scenarios. Assume the 1000 kg sphere is located 40 m from the CM of the ship, and the 4000 kg
mass is at 10 m from the CM.
a) Compute the ratio of the angular accelerations a's during the firing of the rockets, for the two
different scenarios.
A 1.24 kg block B is moving with a speed of 2.04 m/s as it strikes the 0.77 kg sphere A which was at rest. If the speed of the
block was reduced to 1.23 m/s immediately after impact, compute the height (m) reached by the sphere. Round off only on the final
answer expressed in 3 decimal places.
