Chapter 11: Q. 66 (page 290)

Old naval ships fired 10 kg cannon balls from a 200 kg cannon. It was very important to stop the recoil of the cannon, since otherwise the heavy cannon would go careening across the deck of the ship. In one design, a large spring with spring constant 20,000 N/m was placed behind the cannon. The other end of the spring braced against a post that was firmly anchored to the ship鈥檚 frame. What was the speed of the cannon ball if the spring compressed 50 cm when the cannon was fired?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Speed of the cannon ball is 100 m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information is :Mass of cannon M = 200 kgMass of the cannon ball m = 10 kgSpring constant k = 2000 N/mDistance by which spring is compressed∆x=50 cm=0.5m

We need to find out the speed of the cannon ball if the spring if the compressed by 50 cm when the cannon was fired

02

Step 2. Using the Law of conservation of momentum and Law of conservation of Energy

Let velocity of cannon = V

Velocity of cannon ball = v

Using Law of conservation of Momentum,

MV=mvv=MmV

Using Law of conservation of Energy,

12k(鈭�x)2=12MV220000(0.5)2=200V2V2=25V=5m/sAndweknowthat,v=MmVv=20010脳5=100m/s

A 100 g ball moving to the right at 4.0 m/s collides head-on with a 200 g ball that is moving to the left at 3.0 m/s.

a. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what are the speed and direction of each ball after the collision?

b. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, what are the speed and direction of the combined balls after the collision?

A 500 g cart is released from rest 1.00 m from the bottom of a frictionless, 30.0掳 ramp. The cart rolls down the ramp and bounces off a rubber block at the bottom. FIGURE P11.40 shows the force during the collision. After the cart bounces, how far does it roll back up the ramp?

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

A rocket in deep space has an empty mass of 150 kg and exhausts the hot gases of burned fuel at 2500 m/s. What mass of fuel is needed to reach a top speed of 4000 m/s?
