Two particles collide, one of which was initially moving and the other initially at rest.
a. Is it possible for both particles to be at rest after the collision? Give an example in which this happens, or explain why it can’t happen.
b. Is it possible for one particle to be at rest after the collision? Give an example in which this happens, or explain why it can’t happen.
Far in space, where gravity is negligible, a rocket traveling at fires its engines. FIGURE EX11.11 shows the thrust force as a function of time. The mass lost by the rocket during these is negligible.
a. What impulse does the engine impart to the rocket?
b. At what time does the rocket reach its maximum speed? What is the maximum speed?
Three identical train cars, coupled together, are rolling east at speed . A fourth car traveling east at 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?
A sled slides along a horizontal surface on which the coefficient of kinetic friction is . Its velocity at point is and at point is . Use the momentum principle to find how long the sled takes to travel from to.
FIGURE P11.71 shows a collision between three balls of clay. The three hit simultaneously and stick together. What are the speed and direction of the resulting blob of clay?
