Chapter 11: Q. 9 (page 286)

A golf club continues forward after hitting the golf ball. Is momentum conserved in the collision? Explain, making sure you are careful to identify 鈥渢he system.鈥�

Short Answer

Expert verified

The momentum is conserved.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information 

We need to find the momentum conserved in the collision after hitting the golf ball.

02

Explanation

Our system here contains the golfer, the golf club and the golf ball. The golfer moves the club vertically then horizontally before hitting the ball. We ignore the vertical motion of the club and the ball. Before hitting the ball, the club and the ball are in horizontal axis. In this case, the momentum is conserved for the horizontal motion

pi,x=pf,x

Before the collision and just after the collision, the momentum is conserved.

Two ice skaters, with masses of 50kgand 75kg, are at the center of a 60mdiameter circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink. If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 20s, how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge?

A 100 g ball moving to the right at 4.0 m/s catches up and collides with a 400 g ball that is moving to the right at 1.0 m/s. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what are the speed and direction of each ball after the collision?

A tennis player swings her 1000 g racket with a speed of 10 m/s. She hits a 60 g tennis ball that was approaching her at a speed of 20 m/s. The ball rebounds at 40 m/s.

a. How fast is her racket moving immediately after the impact? You can ignore the interaction of the racket with her hand for the brief duration of the collision.

b. If the tennis ball and racket are in contact for 10 ms, what is the average force that the racket exerts on the ball? How does this compare to the gravitational force on the ball?

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.

The nucleus of the polonium isotope214Po(mass 214 u) is radioactive and decays by emitting an alpha particle (a helium nucleus with mass 4 u). Laboratory experiments measure the speed of the alpha particle to be 1.92脳107m/s. Assuming the polonium nucleus was initially at rest, what is the recoil speed of the nucleus that remains after the decay?
