A spaceship of mass 2.0 106 kg is cruising at a speed of 5.0 106 m/s when the antimatter reactor fails, blowing the ship into three pieces. One section, having a mass of 5.0 105 kg, is blown straight backward with a speed of 2.0 106 m/s. A second piece, with mass 8.0 105 kg, continues forward at 1.0 106 m/s. What are the direction and speed of the third piece?
Force is exerted on a 250 g particle during the interval. If the particle starts from rest, what is its speed at t = 2.0 s?
A ball of mass m and another ball of mass 3m are placed inside a smooth metal tube with a massless spring compressed between them. When the spring is released, the heavier ball flies out of one end of the tube with speed . With what speed does the lighter ball emerge from the other end?
A 20 g ball is fired horizontally with speed v0 toward a 100 g ball hanging motionless from a 1.0-m-long string. The balls undergo a head-on, perfectly elastic collision, after which the 100 g ball swings out to a maximum angle . What was v0?
A rocket in deep space has an exhaust-gas speed of 2000 m/s. When the rocket is fully loaded, the mass of the fuel is five times the mass of the empty rocket. What is the rocket’s speed when half the fuel has been burned?
