Since you are studying mechanics, you decide to consider what Isaac Newton learned by sitting under an apple tree. Fortunately, you decide to wear a helmet, so you may be more practical than Newton was when an apple fell on his head. And you're in luck, an apple (ma = 0.3 kg) falls vertically from the tree and strikes your helmet with a velocity, V₁ = 5 m/sec. The apple then bounces off your helmet to the left at a velocity V₁ = 2 m/sec and an angle of 40° above the horizontal (see the figure). The contact time between the apple and the helmet is 0.12 seconds. (a) Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the impulse exerted by the helmet on the apple. (b) Determine the vertical component of the average impulsive force exerted by the helmet on the apple.

A ballistic pendulum is a device often used for measuring the velocity of a projectile. Assume to projectile fully embeds itself in the pendulum. If the projectile mass is 25 grams, the pendulum mass is 2.5 kg, and the vertical displacement of the pendulum after the collision is 12 cm, find the velocity of the projectile just prior to the collision. cm cm
Some ECOR1048 students are curious about expanding their knowledgebase and conduct an experiment. They attach a pendulum to the roof of an elevator, to find the tension in the supporting light rod when the elevator accelerates upwards. They conducted the experiment, but unfortunately lost all their data. Now they are modelling the scenario theoretically (since they are still curious). If the pendulum is displaced by an amount, 0,, and released from rest (with respect to the elevator), determine: a) The tension, T,, in the supporting light rod when 0 = 0. b) Evaluate your result for when 0, =. π Use the problem diagram below.

A 35 g steel ball is held by a ceiling-mounted electromagnet 3.4 m above the floor. A compressed-air cannon sits on the floor, 5.0 m to one side of the point directly under the ball. When a button is pressed, the ball drops and, simultaneously, the cannon fires a 25 g plastic ball. The two balls collide 1.2 m above the floor. What was the launch speed of the plastic ball?
UBC Engin A trebuchet uses a falling counterweight to launch a projectile. It can be thought of as a machine that converts the gravitational potential energy of the counterweight into kinetic and gravitational potential energy of the projectile. The counterweight has a mass of 100kg and drops 3m. The projectile has a mass of 3kg, and starts on the ground. When it leaves the sling, it has a height of 4m speed of 30. m If the average power used in lifting the counterweight is 48W, find the time it takes to lift it from the ground to its full height. tlifting If the projectile goes from rest to its maximum speed in 1.5s. find the average power used in launching the projectile in this time period. Pprojectile Find the efficiency of the trebuchet when it launches. Efficiency % W
A particle is thrown with speed vo from the bottom of an inclined plane that makes an angle with the horizontal. The particle experiences a frictional force and a linear air resistance such that its equation of motion is d²s ds dt dtugsin(0) Here s is distance from the bottom of the plane, p is the air resistance constant, g is the gravitational acceleration and is the coefficient of friction. Determine the maximum vertical height from the horizontal reached by the particle.
You place a 0.18-kg sonic ranger on a low-friction track in front of a 0.50-kg cart to measure the cart's velocity in the Earth reference frame, which turns out to be +(1.0 m/s). You are distracted, the cart hits the ranger in a totally inelastic collision, and the two objects then move forward together. A friend is running toward the cart with a velocity of -(3.5 m/s) with her sonic ranger on and pointed at the cart. ▾ Part A What is the x-component of the momentum of the cart with the ranger stuck to it, in your friend's reference frame?
A lightweight drone (1.00 kg) is launched at 800 m high and moves upward at a constant velocity (whileignoring the effects of gravity only on the drone). The balloon, when measured at a horizontal distance fromyou, is about 1600 m away from you. At the moment when the drone moves, you shoot a bullet (weight =180g) with an initial velocity of 1009 m/s at a fixed angle α, where sin α=3/5 and cos α= 4/5. (g = 9.8 m/s2) d. Provided that the collision is inelastic, calculate the speed after the collision.e. Calculate the height the two objects taken from the impact up to the maximum height before it startsfalling to the ground.
You have been chosen as the test subject for the newest attraction at Canada’s Wonderland. This attraction is a single-person roller coaster ride that has a 25.0 m drop followed by a collision with a plunger attached to a large spring that brings the ride to rest. The plunger/spring mechanism is composed of a large spring with a mass of 62.5 kg made of pure iron..The cart has a mass of 75.0 kg and starts at rest from the top of the track. To determine the total mass of the cart during the ride you must add your mass to the system. As the cart moves down the track it has been determined that friction in the wheels and axles results in the production of 12750 J of thermal and sound energy combined. The plunger/piston at the bottom of the device has been designed to stop the cart with a maximum acceleration of 5.00 g’s (i.e. 49.0 m/s2). Before you start: What is your approximate mass in kilograms? MY MASS IS 82 kg In order to stop the ride, the cart collides with the…
