Problem 7.54

A 64.0­kg skier starts from rest at the top of a ski slope of height 61.0 .

ANSWER:

Correct

A Ball Hits a Wall Elastically

A ball of mass moving with velocity strikes a vertical wall. The angle between the ball's initial velocity vector and thewall is as shown on the diagram, which depicts the situation as seen from above. The duration of the collision betweenthe ball and the wall is , and this collision is completely elastic. Friction is negligible, so the ball does not start spinning.In this idealized collision, the force exerted on the ball by the wall is parallel to the x axis.

Pucks on Ice

Two hockey players, Aaron and Brunnhilde, are pushing two pucks on a frictionless ice rink. The pucks are initially at reston the starting line. Brunnhilde is pushing puck B, which has a mass three times as great as that of puck A, which Aaron ispushing. The players exert equal constant forces of magnitude on their pucks, directed horizontally, towards the finishline. They start pushing at the same time, and each player pushes his or her puck until it crosses the finish line, a distance away.

Hint 2. Method 2: Use the impulse­momentum theorem

The impulse­momentum theorem states that.

You are given that both forces are the same, and you have compared the times in an earlier part.

ANSWER:

Correct

± The Impulse­Momentum Theorem

Learning Goal:

To learn about the impulse­momentum theorem and its applications in some common cases.

Using the concept of momentum, Newton's second law can be rewritten as

, (1)

where is the net force acting on the object, and is the rate at which the object's momentum is changing.

If the object is observed during an interval of time between times and , then integration of both sides of equation (1)gives

. (2)

The right side of equation (2) is simply the change in the object's momentum . The left side is called the impulse of

the net force and is denoted by . Then equation (2) can be rewritten as

.

This equation is known as the impulse­momentum theorem. It states that the change in an object's momentum is equal tothe impulse of the net force acting on the object. In the case of a constant net force acting along the direction ofmotion, the impulse­momentum theorem can be written as

. (3)

Here , , and are the components of the corresponding vector quantities along the chosen coordinate axis. If themotion in question is two­dimensional, it is often useful to apply equation (3) to the x and y components of motionseparately.

ANSWER:

Hint 5. Relating the two physical processes

By applying conservation of momentum to the collision, you found an expression for \texttipv_\rm 0v_0:

v_0 = \left ( m+M\over m \right ) v.By applying conservation of mechanical energy to the swing, you found an expression for \texttipvv:

v= \sqrt2gL[1 ­ \cos(\theta)].Combine these two expression into just one expression for \texttipv_\rm 0v_0.

ANSWER:

Correct

The ballistic pendulum was invented during the Napoleonic Wars to aide the British Navy in making bettercannons. It has since been used by ballisticians to measure the velocity of a bullet as it leaves the barrel of a gun.In Part B you will use your expression for \texttipv_\rm 0v_0 to compare the initial speeds of bullets fired from9.0­\rm mm and .44­caliber handguns.

Part B

An experiment is done to compare the initial speed of bullets fired from different handguns: a 9.0 \rm mm and a .44caliber. The guns are fired into a 10­\rm kg pendulum bob of length \texttipLL. Assume that the 9.0­\rm mm bullethas a mass of 6.0 \rm g and the .44­caliber bullet has a mass of 12 \rm g . If the 9.0­\rm mm bullet causes thependulum to swing to a maximum angular displacement of 4.3^\circ and the .44­caliber bullet causes a displacement of10.1^\circ , find the ratio of the initial speed of the 9.0­\rm mm bullet to the speed of the .44­caliber bullet,(v_0)_9.0/(v_0)_44.

Express your answer numerically.

Hint 1. How to approach the problem

Use your expression from Part A to set up the ratio (v_0)_9.0/(v_0)_44. Try to cancel as many terms aspossible before plugging in your numbers to solve for a numeric answer.

ANSWER:

\texttipE_\rm topE_top = \left(m+M\right) g L \left(1 ­ \cos\left(\theta\right)\right)

\texttipvv = \sqrt2 g L \left(1 ­ \cos\left(\theta\right)\right)

\texttipv_\rm 0v_0 = \large\frac\left(m+M\right)\sqrt2gL\left(1­\cos\left(\theta\right)\right)m

(v_0)_9.0/(v_0)_44 = 0.85

Correct

Police officers in the United States commonly carry 9.0­\rm mm handguns because they are easier to handle,having a shorter barrel than typical .44­caliber guns. Not only does the .44­caliber bullet have more mass than the9.0­\rm mm one, its passage through a longer gun barrel means that it also moves faster as it leaves the barrel,which makes the .44­caliber Magnum a particularly powerful handgun. A .44­caliber bullet can travel at speedsover 1000 \rm miles \;per\; hour (1600 \rm kilometers\;per\;hour).

Exercise 8.46

A 0.148 \rm kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.870 \rm m/s . It has ahead­on collision with a 0.290 \rm kg glider that is moving to the left with a speed of 2.11 \rm m/s . Suppose the collisionis elastic.
