Chapter 11: Q. 61 (page 290)
A 500 g particle has velocity at . Force , where t is in s, is exerted on the particle between. This force increases from 0 N at and then back to . What is the particle鈥檚 velocity at t = 2 s?
The particle's velocity atis

Air-track gliders with masses are lined up and held in place with lightweight springs compressed between them. All three are released at once. The glider flies off to the right while the glider goes left. Their position-versus-time graphs, as measured by motion detectors, are shown in FIGURE P11.44. What are the direction (right or left) and speed of the 400 g glider that was in the middle?
A proton (mass 1 u) is shot toward an unknown target nucleus at a speed of m/s. The proton rebounds with its speed reduced by 25% while the target nucleus acquires a speed of m/s. What is the mass, in atomic mass units, of the target nucleus?
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鈥檛 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鈥檛 happen.
a. To understand why rockets often have multiple stages, first consider a single-stage rocket with an empty mass of 200 kg, 800 kg of fuel, and a 2000 m/s exhaust speed. If fired in deep space, what is the rocket鈥檚 maximum speed?
b. Now divide the rocket into two stages, each with an empty mass of 100 kg, 400 kg of fuel, and a 2000 m/s exhaust speed. The first stage is released after it runs out of fuel. What is the top speed of the second stage? You鈥檒l need to consider how the equation for vmax should be altered when a rocket is not starting from rest.
A plastic cart and a lead cart can both roll without friction on a horizontal surface. Equal forces are used to push both carts forward for a time of , starting from rest. After the force is removed at , is the momentum of the plastic cart greater than, less than, or equal to the momentum of the lead cart? Explain.
