Chapter 3: Q11P (page 123)
Masses and attract each other with a gravitational force of magnitude F. Mass m is replaced with a mass , and it is moved four times farther away. Now, what is the magnitude of the force?
The magnitude of the force is

Object A has mass and initial momentum , just before it strikes object B, which has mass . Just before the collision object B has initial momentum . (a) Consider a system consisting of both objects A and B. What is the total initial momentum of this system just before the collision? (b) The forces that A and B exert on each other are very large but last for a very short time. If we choose a time interval from just before to just after the collision, what is the approximate value of the impulse applied to the two-object system due to forces exerted on the system by objects outside the system? (c) Therefore, what does the Momentum Principle predict that the total final momentum of the system will be just after the collision? (d) Just after the collision, object A is observed to have momentum . What is the momentum of object B just after the collision?
Suppose that you are going to program a computer to carry out an iterative calculation of motion involving electric forces. Assume that as usual we use the final velocity in each time interval as the approximate average velocity during that interval. Which of the following calculations should be done before starting the repetitive calculation loop? Which of the calculations listed above should go inside the repetitive loop, and in what order?
(a) Define constants such as
(b) Update the (vector) position of each object.
(c) Calculate the (vector) forces acting on the objects.
(d) Specify the initial (vector) momentum of each object.
(e) Specify an appropriate value for the time step.
(f) Specify the mass of each object.
(g) Update the (vector) momentum of each object.
(h) Specify the initial (vector) position of each object.
At a certain instant, object 1 is at locationmoving with velocity. At the same instant object 2 is at location, moving with velocity. a) what is the location of the center of mass of the two equal mass objects? b) What is the velocity of the center of mass?
A satellite that is spinning clockwise has four low-mass solar panels sticking out as shown. A tiny meteor traveling at high speed rips through one of the solar panels and continues in the same direction but at reduced speed. Afterward, calculate the components of the center of mass velocity of the satellite. In Figure 3.64 are the initial and final velocities of the meteor, and is the initial velocity of the center of the mass of the satellite, in the x-direction.
A bullet of mass traveling horizontally at a speed of role="math" localid="1658149679010" embeds itself in a block of mass that is sitting at rest on a nearly frictionless surface. What is the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block?
