- Professional Application The Moon's craters are remnants of meteorite collisions. Suppose a fairly large asteroid that has a mass of 5.001012 kg (about a kilometer across) strikes the Moon ata speed of 15.0 km/s. (a) At what speed does the Moon recoil after the perfectly inelastic collision (the mass of the Moon is 7.361022 kg) ? (b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision? Such an event may have been observed by medieval English monks who reported observing a red glow and subsequent haze about the Moon. (c) In October 2009, NASA crashed a rocket into the Moon, and analyzed the plume produced by the impact. (Significant amounts of water were detected.) Answer part (a) and (b) for this real-life experiment. The mass of the rocket was 2000 kg and its speed upon impact was 9000 km/h. How does the plume produced alter these results?arrow_forwardFigure 8.16 shows a cube at rest and a small object heading toward it. (a) Describe the directions (angle 1 ) at which the small object can emerge after colliding elastically with the cube. How does 1 depend on b, the so-called impact parameter? Ignore any effects that might be due to rotation after the collision, and assume that the cube is much more massive than the small object. (b) Answer the same questions if the small object instead collides with a massive sphere. Figure 8.16 A small object approaches a collision with a much more massive cube, after which its velocity has the direction 1. The angles at which the small object can be scattered are determined by the shape of the object it strikes and the impact parameter b.arrow_forwardProfessional Application A 5.50-kg bowling ball moving at 9.00 m/s collides with a 0.850-kg bowling pin, which is scattered at an angle of 85.0° to the initial direction of the bowling ball and with a speed of 15.0 m/s. (a) Calculate the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of the bowling ball. (b) Is the collision elastic? (c) Linear kinetic energy is greater after the collision. Discuss how spin on the ball might be converted to linear kinetic energy in the collision.arrow_forward
- Review. A 60.0-kg person running at an initial speed of 4.00 m/s jumps onto a 120-kg cart initially at rest (Fig. P9.37). The person slides on the carts top surface and finally comes to rest relative to the cart. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the person and the cart is 0.400. Friction between the cart and ground can be ignored. (a) Find the final velocity of the person and cart relative to the ground. (b) Find the friction force acting on the person while he is sliding across the top surface of the cart. (c) How long does the friction force act on the person? (d) Find the change in momentum of the person and the change in momentum of the cart. (c) Determine the displacement of the person relative to the ground while he is sliding on the cart. (f) Determine the displacement of the cart relative to the ground while the person is sliding. (g) Find the change in kinetic energy of the person. (h) Find the change in kinetic energy of the cart. (i) Explain why the answers to (g) and (h) differ. (What kind of collision is this one, and what accounts for the loss of mechanical energy) Figure P9.37arrow_forwardProfessional Application Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1200 kg and is approaching at 8.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 850 kg and is approaching at 17.0 m/s due west. (a) Calculate the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of the cars. (b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision? (This energy goes into deformation of the cars.) Note that because both cars have an initial velocity, you cannot use the equations for conservation of momentum along the x-axis and y-axis; instead, you must look for other simplifying aspects.arrow_forwardA head-on, elastic collision occurs between two billiard balls of equal mass. If a red ball is traveling to the right with speed v and a blue ball is traveling to the left with speed 3v before the collision, what statement is true concerning their velocities subsequent to the collision? Neglect any effects of spin. (a) The red ball travels to the left with speed v, while the blue ball travels to the right with speed 3v. (b) The red ball travels to the left with speed v, while the blue ball continues to move to the left with a speed 2v. (c) The red ball travels to the left with speed 3v, while the blue ball travels to the right with speed v. (d) Their final velocities cannot be determined because momentum is not conserved in the collision. (e) The velocities cannot be determined without knowing the mass of each ball.arrow_forward
- Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange and the other yellow, are involved in an elastic, glancing collision. The yellow disk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk moving with a speed vi. After the collision, the orange disk moves along a direction that makes an angle with its initial direction of motion. The velocities of the two disks arc perpendicular after the collision. Determine the final speed of each disk.arrow_forwardA table-tennis ball is thrown at a stationary bowling ball. The table-tennis ball makes a one-dimensional elastic collision and bounces back along the same line. Compared with the bowling ball after the collision, does the table-tennis ball have (a) a larger magnitude of momentum and more kinetic energy, (b) a smaller magnitude of momentum and more kinetic energy, (c) a larger magnitude of momentum and less kinetic energy, (d) a smaller magnitude of momentum and less kinetic energy, or (e) the same magnitude of momentum and the same kinetic energyarrow_forwardA tennis ball of mass mt is held just above a basketball of mass mb, as shown in Figure P8.22. With their centers vertically aligned, both are released from rest at the same moment so that the bottom of the basketball falls freely through a height h and strikes the floor. Assume an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball while the tennis ball is still moving down because the balls have separated a bit while falling. Next, the two balls meet in an elastic collision. (a) To what height does the tennis ball rebound? (b) How do you account for the height in (a) being larger than h? Does that seem like a violation of conservation of energy? Figure P8.22arrow_forward

The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.50 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Disregard friction between the skates and the ice.arrow_forwardA 0.500-kg sphere moving with a velocity expressed as (2.00i3.00j+1.00k)m/s strikes a second, lighter sphere of mass 1.50 kg moving with an initial velocity of (1.00i+2.00j3.00k)m/s. (a) The velocity of the 0.500-kg sphere after the collision is (1.00i+3.00j8.00k)m/s. Find the final velocity of the 1.50-kg sphere and identify the kind of collision (elastic, inelastic, or perfectly inelastic). (b) Now assume the velocity of the 0.500-kg sphere after the collision is (0.250i+0.750j2.00k)m/s. Find the final velocity of the 1.50-kg sphere and identify the kind of collision. (c) What If? Take the velocity of the 0.500-kg sphere after the collision as (1.00i+3.00jak)m/s. Find the value of a and the velocity of the 1.50-kg sphere after an elastic collision.arrow_forwardA massive tractor is rolling down a country road. In a perfectly inelastic collision, a small sports car runs into the machine from behind. (i) Which vehicle experiences a change in momentum of larger magnitude? (a) The car does.
