A rocket explodes into two fragments, one 25 times heavier than the other. The change in momentum of the lighter fragment is
A spacecraft somewhere in between the earth and the moon experiences 0 net force acting on it. This is because the earth and the moon pull the spacecraft in equal but opposite directions. Find the distance D away from Earth, such that the spacecraft experiences zero net force. The distance between the Moon and Earth is ~3.844 x 108 m.
NOTE: You may need the mass of the earth and moon. You can find this in the formula table.
A child pushes horizontally on a box of mass m with constant speed v across a rough horizontal floor. The coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is µ. At what rate does the child do work on the box?
A rope of negligible mass supports a block that weighs \(30 N\), as shown above. The breaking strength of the rope is \( 50 N\). The largest acceleration that can be given to the block by pulling up on it with the rope without breaking the rope is most nearly
An arrow is shot horizontally from a distance of \( 20 \, \text{m} \) away. It lands \( 0.05 \, \text{m} \) below the center of the target. If air resistance is negligible, what was the initial speed of the arrow?
A \(2\)-N force is used to push a small piston \(10\) \(\text{cm}\) downward in a simple hydraulic machine. If the opposite large piston rises by \(0.5\) \(\text{cm}\), what is the maximum weight the large piston can lift?
Two blocks of ice, one five times as heavy as the other, are at rest on a frozen lake. A person then pushes each block the same distance d. Ignore friction and assume that an equal force F is exerted on each block. Which of the following statements is true about the kinetic energy of the heavier block after the push?
A 3800 kg open railroad car coasts along with a constant speed of 8.60 m/s along a level track. Snow begins to fall vertically and fills the car at rate of 3.50 kg/min. Ignoring friction with the tracks, what is the speed of the car after 90 min?
A cat chases a mouse across a 1.0 m high table. The mouse steps out of the way, and the cat slides off the table and strikes the floor 2.2 m from the edge of the table. When the cat slid off the table, what was its speed?
Two satellites of equal mass, \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \), orbit the Earth. \( S_1 \) is orbiting at a distance \( r \) from the Earth’s center at speed \( v \). \( S_2 \) orbits at a distance \( 2r \) from the Earth’s centre at speed \( \dfrac{v}{\sqrt{2}} \). The ratio of the centripetal force on \( S_1 \) to the centripetal force on \( S_2 \) is
In the diagram above block A has a mass of 3.2 kg and block B a mass of 2.4 kg. The pulley is frictionless and has no mass.
Refer to the diagram above and solve all equations in-terms of R, M, k, and constants.
