A rocket in deep space has an empty mass of kg and exhausts the hot gases of burned fuel at m/s. What mass of fuel is needed to reach a top speed of m/s?
The flowers of the bunchberry plant open with astonishing force and speed, causing the pollen grains to be ejected out of the flower in a mere 0.30 ms at an acceleration of . If the acceleration is constant, what impulse is delivered to a pollen grain with a mass of ?
Two balls of clay of known masses hang from the ceiling on massless strings of equal length. They barely touch when both hang at rest. One ball is pulled back until its string is at , then released. It swings down, collides with the second ball, and they stick together. To determine the angle to which the balls swing on the opposite side, would you invoke
(a) conservation of momentum, (b) conservation of mechanical energy, (c) both, (d) either but not both, or (e) these laws alone are not sufficient to find the angle? Explain.
A 1000 kg cart is rolling to the right at 5.0 m/s. A 70 kg man is standing on the right end of the cart. What is the speed of the cart if the man suddenly starts running to the left with a speed of 10 m/s relative to the cart?
A package of mass m is released from rest at a warehouse loading dock and slides down the -high, frictionless chute of FIGURE EX11.25 to a waiting truck. Unfortunately, the truck driver went on a break without having removed the previous package, of mass , from the bottom of the chute.
a. Suppose the packages stick together. What is their common speed after the collision?
b. Suppose the collision between the packages is perfectly elastic. To what height does the package of mass m rebound?
