A 2 kg disk traveling at 3.0 m/s strikes a 1.0 kg stick of length 4.0...

A 2 kg disk traveling at 3.0 m/s strikes a 1.0 kg stick of length 4.0 m, that is lying flat on nearly frictionless ice. The disk strikes at the end point of the stick at a distance r=2.0 m from the stick's center. Assume the collision is inelastic and the disk adheres to the stick.The moment of inertia of the stick about its center of mass is 1.33kg*m^2. a) Does the disk have initial linear momentum? b) Does the...

A 0.042 kg aluminum bullet traveling at 456 m/s strikes an armor plate and comes to a stop. If all its energy is converted to heat that is absorbed by the bullet, what is the bullet's temperature change in degrees Celsius? (This is a multi-step problem.)

A 10 g bullet traveling at 350 m/s strikes a 9.0 kg , 1.2-m-wide door at...

A 10 g bullet traveling at 350 m/s strikes a 9.0 kg , 1.2-m-wide door at the edge opposite the hinge. The bullet embeds itself in the door, causing the door to swing open. What is the angular velocity of the door just after impact?

A 100 g bullet traveling in the x-direction at 100 m/s strikes a 1 kg wooden...

A 100 g bullet traveling in the x-direction at 100 m/s strikes a 1 kg wooden block at rest. After the collision, wooden block splits into two parts [.2 kg and .8 kg] and the bullet is observed traveling at a speed of 50 m/s in the x-direction. Assume that the wooden pieces are traveling in the x-y plane and the .8 kg piece is traveling 30 degrees to the right of the x-direction. If the kinetic energies of the...

A boxcar of length 10.1 m and height 2.4 m is at rest on frictionless rails. Inside the boxcar (whose mass when empty is 3600 kg) a tank containing 1700 kg of water is located at the left end. The tank is 1.0 m long and 2.4 m tall. At some point the walls of the tank start to leak, and the water fills the floor of the boxcar uniformly. Assume that all the water stays in the boxcar. A....

Ball A with a mass of 2.0 kilograms is traveling at 8.0 m/s strikes Ball B with a mass 5.0 kilograms which is at rest. After the collision, Ball A moves away at an angle of 40.0 degrees above the x-axis and Ball B moves away at an angle of -20.0 degrees below the x-axis. What are the final velocities of each ball? Draw and label a sketch of the problem.
