In outer space rock 1, with mass 3 kg and velocity < 3500, -2500, 3200 > m/s, struck rock 2, which was at rest. After the collision, rock 1's velocity is < 3000, -1800, 3500 > m/s. What is the final momentum of rock 2?
_2f =

kg · m/s
Before the collision, what was the kinetic energy of rock 1?
K_1i =  J
Before the collision, what was the kinetic energy of rock 2?
K_2i =  J
After the collision, what is the kinetic energy of rock 1?
K_1f =  J
Suppose the collision was elastic (that is, no change in kinetic energy and therefore no change in thermal or other internal energy of the rocks). In that case, after the collision, what is the kinetic energy of rock 2?
K_2f =  J
On the other hand, suppose that in the collision some of the kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy of the two rocks, where E_thermal,1 + E_thermal,2 = 4.46 ⨯ 10⁶ J. What is the final kinetic energy of rock 2?
K_2f =  J
In this case (some of the kinetic energy being converted to thermal energy), what was the transfer of energy Q (microscopic work) from the surroundings into the two-rock system during the collision? (Remember that Q represents energy transfer due to a temperature difference between a system and its surroundings.)
Q =  J

Expert Solution

What is the final momentum of rock 2 ?

use conservation of momentum

m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f

3 < 3500, -2500, 3200 > + 0 = 3 < 3000, -1800, 3500 > + p2f

so,

p2f = <1500, -2100, -900> Kg.m/s

____________________

Before the collision, what was the kinetic energy of rock 1

K1i = 1/2 * 3 * (3500² + 2500² + 3200²)

K1i = 4.311e7 J

_________________

Before the collision, what was the kinetic energy of rock 2?
K_2i = 0 J

____________

After the collision, what is the kinetic energy of rock 1?
K_1f = 1/2 * 3 * (3000² + 1800² + 3500² )

K_1f = 3.673e7 J

___________

K_2f = 4.311e7 - 3.673e7

K_2f = 6.375e6 J

____________

On the other hand, suppose that in the collision some of the kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy of the two rocks, where E_thermal,1 + E_thermal,2 = 4.46 ⨯ 10⁶ J. What is the final kinetic energy of rock 2?
K_2f = 6.375e6 - 4.46e6

K_2f = 1.92e6 J

In outer space a rock with mass 7 kg, and velocity <3400, -2700, 2000> m/s, struck a rock with mass 17 kg and velocity <200, -290, 340> m/s. After the collision, the 7 kg rock's velocity is <3000, -2100, 2300> m/s. What is the final velocity of the 17 kg rock? What is the change in the internal energy of the rocks?

An object with mass 70 kg moved in outer space. When it was at location <7, -35, -5> its speed was 5.0 m/s. A single constant force <210, 400, -150> N acted on the object while the object moved from location <7, -35, -5> m to location <11, -27, -8> m. Then a different single constant force <140, 250, 210> N acted on the object while the object moved from location <11, -27, -8> m to location <17, -31, -3>...

An object with mass 100 kg moved in outer space. When it was at location <11, -21, -7> its speed was 4.0 m/s. A single constant force <250, 330, -140> N acted on the object while the object moved from location <11, -21, -7> m to location <16, -14, -10> m.

. A lorry with mass 3500 kg is parked at the top of a steep hill with a 1–in–8 gradient when its handbrake fails. Assume that the lorry has a constant frictional resistance to motion of 500 N. The lorry rolls 40 m down the hill before crashing into a lamp post. Use the principle of conservation of energy to calculate the velocity of the lorry immediately prior to its impact with the lamp post.

1) A 1000 kg rocket travels in outer space at 5000 m/s. The rocket then separates into two sections: a 250 kg section that travels at 8000 m/s, and a 750 kg section. All of this takes place in a straight line that you can consider as your x-axis. (Do not assume kinetic energy is constant throughout this process.) A) What is the total momentum of the system before the separation? B) What is the total kinetic energy of the...

A bloke of mass 5 kg slides along an ice rink with a velocity of 3 m/s. It strikes another block of mass 4 kg in a perfectly elastic collision sending the second block sliding along the ice. The second block them collides with a third block with a massive 5 kg. Assuming to find a collision is perfectly elastic what is the velocity of the final block

In a location in outer space far from all other objects, a nucleus whose mass is 4.019480 × 10−25 kg and that is initially at rest undergoes spontaneous alpha decay. The original nucleus disappears, and two new particles appear: a He-4 nucleus of mass 6.640678 × 10−27 kg (an alpha particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons) and a new nucleus of mass 3.952926 × 10−25 kg. These new particles move far away from each other, because they repel...

2) An Elevator with a mass of 2500 Kg rests at a level 10 m above the base of an elevator shaft. It is raised to 100 m above the base of shaft, where the cable holding it breaks. The elevator falls freely to the base of the shaft and strikes a strong spring. The spring is designed to bring the elevator to rest and to hold the elevator at the position of maximum spring compression. Assuming the entire process...
