A 10 m long glider with a mass of 680 kg (including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at 30 m/s when a 60 kg skydiver drops out by releasing his grip on the glider. Using the appropriate conservation law, determine the glider’s velocity just after the skydiver lets go. Solution: This is a conservation of momentum problem. At the start, both the glider and the skydiver are traveling at the same speed. pf x “ pix mg pvf qg ` ms pvf qs “ pmg ` ms qpvi q (1) (2) Immediately after release, the skydiver’s horizontal velocity is still 30 ms.

A 20 g ball of clay traveling east at 2.0 m{s collides with a 30 g ball of clay traveling 30˝ south of west at 1.0 m{s. What are the speed and the direction of the resulting 50 g ball of clay? Solution: This is an inelastic two-dimensional conservation of momentum problem. Applying conservation of momentum in the x-direction, the final momentum in the x-direction is pf x “ pix “ m1 pvix q1 ` m2 pvix q2 “ p0.020 kgqp2.0 m{sq ´ p0.030 kgqp1.0 m{sq cos 30˝ “ 0.0140 kg m{s (1) (2) (3) Applying conservation of momentum in the y-direction, the final momentum in the y-direction is pf y “ piy “ m1 pv ´ iyq1 ` m2 pviy q2 “ p0.020 kgqp0 m{sq ´ p0.030 kgqp1.0 m{sq sin 30˝ “ ´0.0150 kg m{s (4) (5) (6) Next, we find the magnitude of the final momentum by combining the x- and ycomponents using the Pythagorean theorem: a pf x ` pf y pf “ (7) a p0.0140 kg m{sq2 ` p´0.0150 kg m{sq2 (8) “ “ 0.0205 kg m{s (9) 3 Physics 130 General Physics Fall 2012 Using the final momentum, we can solve for the final speed: pf “ pm1 ` m2 qvf pf ñ vf “ m1 ` m2 0.0205 kg m{s “ 0.020 kg ` 0.030 kg “ 0.41 m{s (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) The direction is given by ˆ ˙ pf y θ “ tan p ˆ fx ˙ ´0.0150 kg m{s ´1 “ tan 0.0140 kg m{s ˝ “ ´47 ´1 4 (15) (16) (17) Physics 130 General Physics Fall 2012 3. Most geologists believe that the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago when a large comet or asteroid struck the earth, throwing up so much dust that the sun was blocked out for a period of many months. Suppose an asteroid with a diameter of 2.0 km and a mass of 1.0 ˆ 1013 kg hits the earth with an impact speed of 4.0 ˆ 104 m{s. (a) What is the earth’s recoil speed after such a collision? (Hint: Use a reference frame in which the earth is initially at rest.) (b) What percentage is this of the earth’s speed around the sun? Solution: (a) This is an inelastic collision, and therefore a conservation of momentum problem. At the start, the asteroid has a speed of 4.0 ˆ 104 m{s while the earth is not moving. pix “ pf x Mearth pvi qe ` ma pvi qa “ pMearth ` ma qpvf q (1) (2) (3) Solving for the final velocity of the earth and asteroid system, vf “ Mearth pvi qe ` ma pvi qa pMearth ` ma q 5 (4) Physics 130 General Physics 0 kg m{s ` p1.0 ˆ 1013 kgqp4.0 ˆ 104 m{sq p5.98 ˆ 1024 kg ` 1.0 ˆ 1013 kgq “ 6.7 ˆ 10´8 m{s “ Fall 2012 (5) (6) (b) The speed of the earth going around the sun is vE “ 2πrearth´sun 2πp1.50 ˆ 1011 mq “ “ 3.0 ˆ 104 m{s T 3.15 ˆ 107 s (7) (8) Therefore, vf {vE “ p6.7 ˆ 10´8 m{sq{p3.0 ˆ 104 m{sq “ 2.2 ˆ 10´12 “ 2.2 ˆ 10´10 %. 6 (9) (10) (11) Physics 130 General Physics Fall 2012 4. Fred (mass 60 kg) is running with the football at a speed of 6.0 m{s when he is met head-on by Brutus (mass 120 kg), who is moving at 4.0 m{s. Brutus grabs Fred in a tight grip, and they fall to the ground. Which way do they slide, and how far? The coefficient of kinetic friction between football uniforms and Astroturf is 0.30. Solution: This is an inelastic collision in which Fred and Brutus are moving toward each other. Assume that Brutus is moving in the positive x-direction and Fred is moving in the negative x-direction. Because momentum is conserved, we have pix “ pf x mB pvi qB ´ mF pvi qF “ pmB ` mF qpvf q (1) (2) Solving for the final velocity of Brutus and Fred, mB pvi qB ´ mF pvi qF pmB ` mF q p120 kgqp4.0 m{sq ´ p60 kgqp6.0 m{sq “ p120 kg ` 60 kgq “ 0.667 m{s vf “ (3) (4) (5) Now that we know that Brutus and Fred moved to the right after the collision, we can find the distance that they traveled. Friction slows them down, and therefore the force of friction must act in the negative x-direction. The net force is equal to the total mass (the mass of both players) times the acceleration. ÿ Fx “ ´fk “ pmB ` mF qa (6) ´µn “ pmB ` mF qa ´µpmB ` mF qg “ pmB ` mF qa ñ a “ ´µg “ ´p0.30q ˆ p9.8 m{s2 q “ ´2.94 m{s2 7 (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) Physics 130 General Physics Fall 2012 Finally, we can use the kinematic equation to find the distance traveled with vf “ 0: vf2 “ vi2 ` 2ad ñd “ ´ vi2 2a ´p0.667 m{s2 q2 “ 2 ˆ p´2.94 m{s2 q “ 0.076 m “ 7.6 cm 8 (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) Physics 130 General Physics Fall 2012 5. A two-stage rocket is traveling at 1200 m{s with respect to the earth when the first stage runs out of fuel. Explosive bolts release the first stage and push it backward with a speed of 35 m{s relative to the second stage. The first stage is three times as massive as the second stage. What is the speed of the second stage after the separation? Solution: The rocket is traveling at an initial speed before the explosion. The two parts separate after the explosion. To find the speed of the second stage, we’ll use the conservation of momentum equation. pf pm1 ` m2 qvi p3m2 ` m2 qvi 4m2 vi 4vi “ “ “ “ “ pi m1 v1f ` m2 v2f 3m2 v1f ` m2 v2f “ m2 p3v1f ` v2f q m2 p3v1f ` v2f q 3v1f ` v2f (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) The fact that the first stage is pushed backward at 35 m{s relative to the second can be written v1f “ ´35 m{s ` v2f 4vi “ 3p´35 m{s ` v2f q ` v2f 4vi “ ´105 m{s ` 4v2f (6) (7) (8) Solving for the velocity of the second stage v2f v2f “ 4vi ` 105 m{s 4 9 (9) Physics 130 General Physics 4 ˆ 1200 m{s ` 105 m{s 4 “ 1.2 km{s “ 10 Fall 2012 (10) (11) Physics 130 General Physics Fall 2012 6.

To find the final velocity of the earth, we can 11 Physics 130 General Physics Fall 2012 solve for vbf in the momentum equation and plug this into the energy equation to eliminate vbf . This will give us the equation for vef . Once we have an expression for vef , we can plug this into the momentum equation to get an expression for vbf .

A roller coaster car on the frictionless track shown below starts from rest at height h. The track’s valley and hill consist of circular-shaped segments of radius R. (a) What is the maximum height hmax from which the car can start so as not to fly off the track when going over the hill? Give your answer as a multiple of R. Hint First find the maximum speed for going over the hill. (b) Evaluate hmax for a roller coaster that has R “ 10 m. Solution: (a) When the car is in the valley and on the hill it can be considered to be in circular motion. We start at the top of the hill and determine the maximum speed so that the car stays on the track. We can use the equations for circular motion. The acceleration is given by v2 a“´ , (1) r where the minus sign means that the centripetal acceleration points inward, toward the center of the circular track. The free-body diagram for the car at the top of the hill illustrates the two forces acting on the car. Using Newton’s second law, we know ÿ F “ ma “ ´m FN ´ Fg “ ´m v2 R v2 R (2) (3) When the normal force is greater than zero, the car is still touching the track.

Truck brakes can fail if they get too hot. In some mountainous areas, ramps of loose gravel are constructed to stop runaway trucks that have lost their brakes. The combination of a slight upward slope and a large coefficient of rolling resistance as the truck tires sink into the gravel brings the truck safely to a halt. Suppose a gravel ramp slopes upward at 6.0˝ and the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.40. Use work and energy to find the length of a ramp that will stop a 15, 000 kg truck that enters the ramp at 35 m/s (« 75 mph). Solution: We’ll identify the truck and the loose gravel as the system. We need the gravel inside the system because friction increases the temperature of the truck and the gravel. We will also use the model of kinetic friction and the conservation of energy equation.

A 5.0 kg cat leaps from the floor to the top of a 95 cm high table. If the cat pushes against the floor for 0.20 s to accomplish this feat, what was her average power output during the pushoff period? Solution: The average power output during the push-off period is equal to the work done by the cat divided by the time the cat applied the force. Since the force on the floor by the cat is equal in magnitude to the force on the cat by the floor, work done by the cat can be found using the workkinetic-energy theorem during the push-off period: Wnet “ Wfloor “ ∆K.

If the dam is 80% efficient at converting the water’s potential energy into electrical energy, then every kilogram of water that falls produces 0.8 ˆ 250 J “ 200 J of electrical energy.

You need to determine the density of a ceramic statue. If you suspend it from a spring scale, the scale reads 28.4 N. If you then lower the statue into a tub of water, so that it is completely submerged, the scale reads 17.0 N. What is the statue’s density? Solution: The buoyant force, FB , on the can is given by Archimedes’ principle. The free-body diagram sketched above shows that the gravitational force of the statue, FG,statue is balanced by the spring force, Fsp , and the buoyant force, FB exerted by the water. Since the statue is in static equilibrium, we know that the net force is zero.

A 355 mL soda can is 6.2 cm in diameter and has a mass of 20 g. Such a soda can half full of water is floating upright in water. What length of the can is above the water level? Solution: The buoyant force, FB , on the can is given by Archimedes’ principle. Let the length of the can above the water level be d, the total length of the can be L, and the cross-sectional area of the can be A. The can is in static equilibrium, so from the free-body diagram sketched above we have ÿ Fy “ FB ´ FG,can ´ FG,water “ 0 (1) ρwater ApL ´ dqg “ pmcan ` mwater qg pmcan ` mwater q L´d “ Aρwater pmcan ` mwater q ñd “ L´ Aρwater (2) (3) (4) Recalling that one liter equals 10´3 m3 and the density of water is ρwater “ 1000 kg m´3 , the mass of the water in the can is ˆ ˙ Vcan mwater “ ρwater (5) 2 ˆ ˙ 355 ˆ 10´6 m3 ´3 “ p1000 kg m q ˆ (6) 2 “ 0.1775 kg.

Water flowing out of a 16 mm diameter faucet fills a 2.0 L bottle in 10 s. At what distance below the faucet has the water stream narrowed to 10 mm in diameter? Solution: We treat the water as an ideal fluid obeying Bernoulli’s equation. The pressure at point 1 is p1 and the pressure at point 1 is p2 . Both p1 and p2 are atmospheric pressure. The velocity and the area at point 1 are v1 and A1 , and at point 2 they are v2 and A2 . Let d be the distance of point 2 below point 1. First, we use the time it takes to fill a 2.0 L bottle to compute the flow rate, Q, the rate at which water is flowing out of the faucet, remembering that one liter equals 10´3 m3 : p2.0 Lq ˆ p10´3 m3 {Lq Q “ 10 s “ 2.0 ˆ 10´4 m3 {s.

A hurricane wind blows across a 6.0 m ˆ15.0 m flat roof at a speed of 130 km/hr. (a) Is the air pressure above the roof higher or lower than the pressure inside the house? Explain. (b) What is the pressure difference? (c) How much force is exerted on the roof? If the roof cannot withstand this much force, will it “blow in” or “blow out”? Solution: (a) The pressure above the roof is lower due to the higher velocity of the air.

A gas is compressed from 600 cm´3 to 200 cm´3 at a constant pressure of 400 kPa. At the same time, 100 J of heat energy is transferred out of the gas. What is the change in thermal energy of the gas during this process? Solution: This is a first law of thermodynamics problem involving an isobaric (constant pressure) process. We know that W ą 0 because the gas is compressed, which transfers energy into the system. Also, 100 J of heat is transferred out of the gas. The first law of thermodynamics gives ∆Eth “ “ “ “ W `Q ´p∆V ` Q ´p4.0 ˆ 105 Paq ˆ p200 ´ 600q ˆ 10´6 m´3 ´ 100 J 60 J.

A 100 g ice cube at ´10˝ C is placed in an aluminum cup whose initial temperature is 70˝ C. The system comes to an equilibrium temperature of 20˝ C. What is the mass of the cup? Solution: There are two interacting systems: aluminum and ice. The system comes to thermal equilibrium in four steps: (1) the ice temperature increases from ´10 ˝ C to ´0 ˝ C; (2) the ice becomes water at 0 ˝ C; (3) the water temperature increases from 0 ˝ C to 20 ˝ C; and (4) the cup temperature decreases from 70 ˝ C to 20 ˝ C.
