A 0.160-kg hockey puck is moving on an icy, frictionless,

horizontal surface. At t=0, the puck is moving to the right at 3.00m/s.

(a) Calculate the velocity of the puck (magnitude and direction) after a force of 25.0 N directed to the right has been applied for 0.050 s. (b) If, instead, a force of 12.0 N directed to the left is applied from t= 0 to t= 0.050 s, what is the final velocity of the puck?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The velocity of the puck when 25N force is applied is 10.81m/sin the right direction.

(b) Hence the velocity of the puck when 12N force is applied is 0.75m/sin the left direction.

Step by step solution

01

The formula used in this exercise

The momentum of a particle: The momentum P→of the particle’s mass mand velocity v→.

p→=mv→

Newton’s second law

The net force on a particle is equal to the rate of change of the particle’s momentum.

∑F=dpdt

02

Finding the velocity of pluck for part (a)

Given in the question.

Mass of the puck, m=0.160kg

Considering the right direction as the positive direction.

The initial velocity of the puck, vi=3.00m/s

∑F=25N∆t=0.05s

According to the Newton’s second law

localid="1664431426577" ∑F=dpdt∑F=p2-p1∆t∑F=mvf-mvi∆t

Substituting the values into the formula.

25=0.16vf-0.1630.050.16vf=25×0.05+0.48vf=1.730.16vf=10.81m/s

Hence the velocity of the puck when 25N force is applied is 10.81 m/s in the right direction.

03

Finding the velocity of pluck for part (b)

Given in the question.

Mass of the puck, m=0.160kg

Considering the right direction as the positive direction.

The initial velocity of the puck, vi=3.00m/s

∑F=-12N

∆t=0.05s

According to the Newton’s second law

∑F=dpdt∑F=p2-p1∆t∑F=mvf-mvi∆t

Substituting the values into the formula.

-12=0.16vf-0.1630.050.16vf=-12×0.05+0.48vf=-0.120.16vf=-0.75m/s

Hence the velocity of the puck when 12N force is applied is 0.75 m/s in the left direction.

A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of20m/s2, and the car has an acceleration of3.40m/s2. The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved60.0m. (a) How much time does it take the car to overtake the truck? (b) How far was the car behind the truck initially? (c) What is the speed of each when they are abreast? (d) On a single graph, sketch the position of each vehicle as a function of time. Takex=0at the initial location of the truck.

A hammer with mass m is dropped from rest from a height h above the earth’s surface. This height is not necessarily small compared with the radiusof the earth. Ignoring air resistance, derive an expression for the speed v of the hammer when it reaches the earth’s surface. Your expression should involve h,, and(the earth’s mass).

You take an empty glass jar and push it into a tank of water with the open mouth of the jar downward, so that the air inside the jar is trapped and cannot get out. If you push the jar deeper into the water, does the buoyant force on the jar stay the same? If not, does it increase or decrease? Explain.

You hold a hose at waist height and spray water horizontally with it. The hose nozzle has a diameter of 1.80 cm, and the water splashes on the ground a distance of 0.950 cm horizontally from the nozzle. If you constrict the nozzle to a diameter of 0.750 cm, how far from the nozzle, horizontally, will the water travel before it hits the ground? (Ignore air resistance.)

Planet Vulcan.Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Such a planet was once postulated, in part to explain the precession of Mercury’s orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury’s precession has been explained by general relativity.)
