Chapter 11: Q. 20 (page 287)

A 1500kgcar is rolling at 2.0m/s. You would like to stop the car by firing a 10kgblob of sticky clay at it. How fast should you fire the clay?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of the clay should be300m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1; Given information

We have given,

Massofcar=1500kgMassofclay=10kgspeedofcar=2m/s

We have to find the speed of clay to stop the car.

02

Simplify

According to conservation of momentum .

PI=PF

since the velocity of the car and clay is zero in the final then its momentum will be also zero.

Then we can write,

Momentumofcar=MomentumofclayMCAR脳VCAR=MCLAY脳VCLAY1500kg脳2m/s=10kg脳VV=300m/s

Three identical train cars, coupled together, are rolling east at speed vo. A fourth car traveling east at 2vo catches up with the three and couples to make a four-car train. A moment later, the train cars hit a fifth car that was at rest on the tracks, and it couples to make a five-car train. What is the speed of the five-car train?

Angie, Brad, and Carlos are discussing a physics problem in which two identical bullets are fired with equal speeds at equalmass wood and steel blocks resting on a frictionless table. One bullet bounces off the steel block while the second becomes embedded in the wood block. 鈥淎ll the masses and speeds are the same,鈥� says Angie, 鈥渟o I think the blocks will have equal speeds after the collisions.鈥� 鈥淏ut what about momentum?鈥� asks Brad. 鈥淭he bullet hitting the wood block transfers all its momentum and energy to the block, so the wood block should end up going faster than the steel block.鈥� 鈥淚 think the bounce is an important factor,鈥� replies Carlos. 鈥淭he steel block will be faster because the bullet bounces off it and goes back the other direction.鈥� Which of these three do you agree with, and why?
