Momentum 2D PDF

The archer fires a 0.500-kg arrow horizontally at 50.0 m/s. With a combined mass of 60.0 kg for the archer and bow, the archer will move across the ice with a velocity of 0.417 m/s in the opposite direction after firing due to conservation of momentum.

Problem An archer stands at rest on frictionless ice

and fires a 0.500-kg arrow horizontally at 50.0 m/s.


(See Fig. 6.9.) The combined mass of the archer and
bow is 60.0 kg. With what velocity does the archer
move across the ice after firing the arrow?   0.417 m/s

Problem The ballistic pendulum (Fig. 6.12a) is a device used to measure the speed of a fast-moving projectile such
as a bullet. The bullet is fired into a large block of wood suspended from some light wires. The bullet is stopped by
the block, and the entire system swings up to a height h. It is possible to obtain the initial speed of the bullet by mea-
suring h and the two masses. As an example of the technique, assume that the mass of the bullet, m 1, is 5.00 g, the
mass of the pendulum, m 2, is 1.000 kg, and h is 5.00 cm. Find the initial speed of the bullet, v 1i .

Problem A car with mass 1.50  103 kg traveling east at a speed of 25.0 m/s col-
lides at an intersection with a 2.50  103-kg van traveling north at a speed of
y
20.0 m/s, as shown in Figure 6.16. Find the magnitude and direction of the veloc-
vf
ity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming that the vehicles undergo a
perfectly inelastic collision (that is, they stick together) and assuming that friction +25.0 m/s
between the vehicles and the road can be neglected. u

An 8.00- g bullet is fired into a 250-g block that is initially


at rest at the edge of a table of height 1.00 m (Fig. P6.30).
The bullet remains in the block, and after the impact the +20.0 m/s
block lands 2.00 m from the bottom of the table. Deter-
mine the initial speed of the bullet.
