Chapter 9: Q29P (page 249)

Suppose a gangster sprays Superman鈥檚 chest with3 gbullets at the rate of 100 bullets/min, and the speed of each bullet is 500 m/s. Suppose too that the bullets rebound straight back with no change in speed. What is the magnitude of the average force on Superman鈥檚 chest?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the average force on Superman鈥檚 chest is Favg=5.0N

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

The mass of each bullet,m=3g1kg1000g=3脳10-3kg

The speed of a bullet is,v=500m/s

The rate of bombarding bullets is, 100 bullets/min .

02

Concept and formula used in the given question

We can use the equation of impulse-momentum theorem to calculate the impulse and then we can use this value of impulse in the equation of average force to calculate its value.

J=鈭�P鈭�P=m脳v2-v1J=Favg脳t

03

Calculation for the magnitude of the average force on Superman’s chest

Suppose, the time of bombardingthebullet is 1 min. So, the total number of bullets shot at is 100.

The equation of the impulse-momentum theorem is,

J=鈭�PJ=100脳m脳v2-v1J=100脳3脳10-3kg脳500m/s--500m/sJ=300N路s

Now,

Favg=J鈭�t=300N路s60s=5.0N

A 2140 kgrailroad flatcar, which can move with negligible friction, is motionless next to a platform. A 242 kgsumo wrestler runs at 5.3 m/salong the platform (parallel to the track) and then jumps onto the flatcar. What is the speed of the flatcar if he then (a) stands on it, (b) runs at 5.3 m/s relative to it in his original direction, and (c) turns and runs at 5.3 m/s relative to the flatcar opposite his original direction?

In a common but dangerous prank, a chair is pulled away as a person is moving downward to sit on it, causing the victim to land hard on the floor. Suppose the victim falls by 0.50 m , the mass that moves downward is 70 kg , and the collision on the floor lasts 0.082 s. What are the magnitudes of the (a) Impulse and (b) Average force acting on the victim from the floor during the collision?

Consider a box that explodes into two pieces while moving with a constant positive velocity along an x-axis. If one piece, with mass , ends up with positive velocity v1,then the second piece, with mass m2, could end up with (a) a positive velocity v2(Fig. 9-25a), (b) a negative velocity v2(Fig. 9-25b), or (c) zero velocity (Fig. 9-25c). Rank those three possible results for the second piece according to the corresponding magnitude of v1, the greatest first.

(a) Determine which represent physically impossible situations. Of the others, which best represents (b) an elastic collision and (c) an inelastic collision?

A ball having a mass of 150 g strikes a wall with a speed of 5.2 m/sand rebounds with only 50%of its initial kinetic energy. (a) What is the speed of the ball immediately after rebounding?

(c) If the ball is in contact with the wall for 7.6 ms, what is the magnitude of the average force on the ball from the wall during this time interval?
