91Ó°ÊÓ

A sled slides along a horizontal surface on which the coefficient of kinetic friction is 2.5. Its velocity at point Ais 8.0m/sand at point Bis 5.0m/s. Use the momentum principle to find how long the sled takes to travel from AtoB.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The time taken by sled to travel from AtoBis t=1.2s

Step by step solution

01

Given information  

We need to find that how long the sled takes to travel from Ato BUsing the momentum principle.

02

Calculation    

The impulse-momentum theorem we have is

Fâ–³t=mâ–³v

We can express from here the time force Fthat is required for mass mcontaining bodies to undergo speed changes â–³vas

â–³t=mâ–³vF.

The force is friction one so, we have

△t=m△vμmg=△vμg.

After subtituting numerically, we have

△t=8.0-5.0(0.25)×(9.8)=1.2s

A tennis player swings her 1000 g racket with a speed of 10 m/s. She hits a 60 g tennis ball that was approaching her at a speed of 20 m/s. The ball rebounds at 40 m/s.

a. How fast is her racket moving immediately after the impact? You can ignore the interaction of the racket with her hand for the brief duration of the collision.

b. If the tennis ball and racket are in contact for 10 ms, what is the average force that the racket exerts on the ball? How does this compare to the gravitational force on the ball?

A 600gair-track glider collides with a spring at one end of the track. FIGURE EX11.12 shows the glider’s velocity and the force exerted on the glider by the spring. How long is the glider in contact with the spring?


A 0.2kgplastic cart and a 20kglead cart can both roll without friction on a horizontal surface. Equal forces are used to push both carts forward for a distance of 1m, starting from rest. After traveling 1m, is the momentum of the plastic cart greater than, less than, or equal to the momentum of the lead cart? Explain.

A 100 g ball moving to the right at 4.0 m/s catches up and collides with a 400 g ball that is moving to the right at 1.0 m/s. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what are the speed and direction of each ball after the collision?

Two 500gblocks of wood are 2.0m apart on a frictionless table. A 10g bullet is fired at 400m/s toward the blocks. It passes all the way through the first block, then embeds itself in the second block. The speed of the first block immediately afterward is 6.0m/s. What is the speed of the second block after the bullet stops in it?
