Ernest Goes Fishing. After putting his fishing gear in the canoe he walks back to his car to lock it. Upon returning he finds that the canoe was not secured properly and is now drifting along the pier parallel to it at 1 m/s, without friction. He runs down the pier at 5 m/s and jumps into the canoe that is moving in the same direction he is. When Ernest has landed in the boat, what is its final velocity (in m/s)? Ernest has a mass of 70 kg and the canoe (with fishing gear) has a mass of 30 kg. Use conservation of momentum for an inelastic collision.
The Hulk (200kg of pure angry muscle)collides head-on with a truck (2500kg). If the Hulk was running at 10.0m/s and the truck was moving at 15.0 m/s in the opposite direction, after they stick together, what is their speed (in m/s)? Either the Hulk or the truck needs a negative initial velocity.
The figure shows a glancing (not head-on) collision between two billiard balls (viewed from above). Ball 1 is initially moving with 2.0 m/s in the positive x direction; ball 2 is initially moving with 1.0 m/s in the opposite direction. After the collision, ball 2 moves at 1.41 m/s in the negative y direction. a) What are the direction (the angle θ from the x axis) and speed of ball 1 after the collision? b) Is this an elastic collision? If not, what fraction of the original energy is lost in the collision?
A truck (M = 2500kg) collides with a car (m = 1000kg) at a 4-way intersection. Fortunately nobody gets hurt. Suppose the car is going north at 20m/s ( about 45mph) and the truck is coming from the east at 10m/s ( about 22mph). The car and truck stick together after the %3D collision. (a) Find the speed and direction of the car and truck immediately after the collision. (b) Approximately how much energy went into the deformation of the metal that caused the two vehicles to stick together? (c) What assumptions did you make? The
a)If Olaf catches the ball, with what speed vf do Olaf and the ball move afterward? Express your answer numerically in meters per second. b) If the ball hits Olaf and bounces off his chest horizontally at 8.30 m/sm/s in the opposite direction, what is his speed vf after the collision? Express your answer numerically in meters per second.
Airplane flight recorders must be able to survive catastrophic crashes. Therefore, they are typically encased in crash-resistant steel or titanium boxes that are subjected to rigorous testing. One of the tests is an impact shock test, in which the box must survive being thrown at high speeds against a barrier. A 43-kg box is thrown at a speed of 340 m/s and is brought to a halt in a collision that lasts for a time of 6.6 ms. What is the magnitude of the average net force that acts on the box during the collision?
A billiard ball (1kg) and a big piece of chewing gum (0.2kg) are moving at each other. The billiard ball has an initial velocity of 4 m/s to the right, and the chewing gum has a velocity of 20 m/s to the left. What is the final velocity of both the chewing gum and the billiard ball when they stick together after colliding?
A nerve conduction velocity test (NCV) is an electrical test that is used to evaluate the function of nerves. A NCV on a patient's sciatic nerve (length of 0.90 mm) reveals a conduction velocity of 30 m/sm/s. How long did it take the impulse to travel along the nerve? 27 s 0.90 s 0.030 s 33 s
Because of your knowledge of physics, you have been assigned to investigate a train wreck between a fast moving passenger train and a slower moving freight train both going in the same direction. You have statements from the engineer of each train and the stationmaster, as well as some measurements you make. To check the consistency of the description of events leading up to the collision, you decide to calculate the distance from the station that the collision should have occurred if everyone’s statements were accurate. You will then compare that result to the actual position of the wreck that is 0.5 miles from the station. In this calculation you decide that you can ignore all reactiontimes. Here is what you know: • The stationmaster claims that she noted that the freight train was behind schedule. As regulations require, she switched on a warning light just as the last car of the freight train passed her. • The freight train engineer says he was going at a constant speed of 10 miles…
