Consider the two pucks shown in the figure. As they move towards each other, the momentum of each puck is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Given that vi, green = 11.0 m/s, and mblue is 30.0% greater than mgreen, what are the final speeds of each puck (in m/s), if 1 2 the kinetic energy of the system is converted to internal energy?
A 1000 kg car traveling at 15 m/s runs into a 2000 kg car at rest. Determine the percent of kinetic energy lost. I know that the final velocity is 5m/s, but I don't know how to find the energy lost (should be 67%). Tysm in advance!!
A 250 g object is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 10.0 m/s. What is its momentum upon reaching (a) the maximum height? (b) halfway to its maximum height?
oes every moving body posses both kinetic energy and momentum? Explain.
Consider the two pucks shown in the figure. As they move towards each other, the momentum of each puck is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Given that v, areen = 12.0 m/s, and malue is 25.0% greater than mreen what are the final speeds of each puck (in m/s), if the kinetic energy of the system is converted to internal energy? t an angle of 30.0° above horizontal. The blue puck approanes right, with its 130.0 from the position slightly o that the two stly head-on. 30.0 he green puck, moves down and to the angle of 30.0° below 1.25 green Write the initial momentum of the system to find the blue puck's initial velocity, noting that because the initial momenta of the two pucks are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, they sum to zero. Use the relationship that m, = 1.25 m,. Then, write expressions for the initial and final kinetic energies of the system, set - the initial kinetic energy equal to the final kinetic energy, and solve the initial momentum and final kinetic…
Xena (Warrior Princess, mass 65 kg) swings from a rope at an armored villain (mass 100 kg) and delivers her trademark two-footed flying kick to his breast plate, knocking him backwards. The collision brings her to a stop and she lands on her feet. Neglecting friction and measuring speeds just before and after the collision, we can expect that, to a high degree of accuracy: Kinetic energy is conserved O Neither momentum nor kinetic energy are conserved. Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved Momentum is conserved
3. Under Ideal conditions (perfectly level air track, no friction, perfectly elastic bumpers) for two gliders colliding: A) In either elastic and/or inelastic collsions, would each glider's be momentum be constant? B) In either elastic or inelastic collisions, would each glider's individual kientic energy be constant.
A student attending an online 1301 class in the Fall20 semester decided to check what would happen with kinetic energy if she changed the momentum. She decided to conduct an experiment using a dynamics cart. The student measured the speed of the cart as she released it from inclined surfaces with different slopes. She was able to increase the momentum by a factor 17. By what factor dıd the kinetic energy change? (PAMP540F20) a) O 289 b) 04.12 c) O 34 d) O 68 e) O 17
3. John is performing an experiment in a Uwindsor lab. In this lab, John has two toy car's of mass m1 and m2 connected together to form a car of mass m whose velocity is v. While traveling a force causes these car's to separate, with the heavier car being at rest as a result. If John notes the kinetic energy of the moving car is 28 mv 2 what is the mass of the moving car? А. 0.018m В. 5.1m C. 0.011m D. 0.028m Е. 0.11m
While playing a game of billiards, your 0.50 kg cue ball, travelling at 1.9 m/s, glances off a stationary 0.30 kg billiard ball so that the billiard ball moves off at 1.3 m/s at an angle of 32º clockwise from the cue ball’s original path. What is the final speed of the cue ball?
Ballistic Pendulum7. A mass of 15 g traveling at a rate of 250 m/s imbeds itself into a stationary lump of clayof mass 5 kg. What is the maximum height the combined mass of clay and bullet willrise to? (The book will have an illustration of a ballistic pendulum.) Find the resultingvelocity of combined mass and then use conservation of energy to find height.
