A ship and Morty are at rest. The ship fires a snake at Morty with velocity v_si=+100m/s.

snake mass= 2.00kg

morty mass= 60.0kg

ship mass= 300kg

a) What is the ship's velocity after it fires the snake?
b) What is Morty's velocity after he collides elastically with the snake?
c) After hitting Morty, can the snake ever catch up with the ship? Explain.

Expert Solution

Summary.

a. The velocity of the ship= - 0.666m/s

b The velocity of Morty after collision= 6.45 m/s

c. Velocity of snake after collision= - 93.54m/s.

The snake can surely catch up with the ship as iths velocity is greater than the ships valocity . ( -0.666m/s) and both are traveling in same direction.

A dockworker loading crates on a ship finds that a 34-kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 73-N horizontal force to set it in motion. However, after the crate is in motion, a horizontal force of 50 N is required to keep it moving with a constant speed. Find the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between crate and floor

A rail-gun fires a tungsten projectile horizontally with an exit muzzle velocity of 1500 m/s. The horizontal acceleration of the projectile is given as ax = -40vx^2 + 125000vx - 96900000 where vx = horizontal velocity. The muzzle is 50 meters off the ground. At what distance, in meters, from the muzzle will the projectile strike the ground if the ground remains level? Do not neglect the effects due to gravity. Please help, I don't understand how to do this...

The drive propeller of a ship starts from rest and accelerates at 2.99 x 10-3 rad/s2 for 2.86 x 103 s. For the next 1.90 x 103 s the propeller rotates at a constant angular speed. Then it decelerates at 2.61 x 10-3 rad/s2 until it slows (without reversing direction) to an angular speed of 2.31 rad/s. Find the total angular displacement of the propeller.
