Gas guns are used to investigate the properties of materi- als subjected to high-velocity impacts. A projectile is accelerated through the barrel of the gun by gas at high pressure. Assume that the acceleration of the projectile in m/s2 is given by a = c/s, where s is the position of the projectile in the barrel in meters and c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The projectile starts from rest at s = 1.5 m and acceler- %3D ates until it reaches the end of the barrel at s = 3 m. Determine the value of the constant c necessary for the projectile to leave the barrel with a velocity of 200 m/s.

A ballistic pendulum is a device often used for measuring the velocity of a projectile. Assume to projectile fully embeds itself in the pendulum. If the projectile mass is 25 grams, the pendulum mass is 2.5 kg, and the vertical displacement of the pendulum after the collision is 12 cm, find the velocity of the projectile just prior to the collision. cm cm
There are two springs attached to a mass with an unknown weight. The springs have a stiffness of k = 50 N/m with an unstretched length of 5 m. When the springs are horizontal and unstretched, the unknown mass is released from rest. The mass falls 4m and the mass reaches its maximum velocity. 1.

Neglecting the resistance of the medium. Find the velocity in ft/s after 4 seconds of 16lb object attached to the end of spring. It comes to rest at its equillibrium position, thereby stretching the spring to 12 inches. The total is then pulled down 0.5ft below its equillibrium position and released at t=0 with an initial velocity of 1 ft/s directed downward.

At a certain point in the reentry of the space shuttle into the earth's atmosphere, the total acceleration of the shuttle may be represented by two components. One component is the gravitational acceleration g = 9.60 m/s2 at this altitude. The second component equals 10.28 m/s² due to atmospheric resistance and is directed opposite to the velocity. The shuttle is at an altitude of 46.1 km and has reduced its orbital velocity of 28300 km/h to 16920 km/h in the direction 0 = 1.78°. For this instant, calculate the radius of curvature of the path and the rate i at which the speed is changing. Answers: p= v = i i km m/s²
