A 8.00 ? 107 kg battleship originally at rest fires a 1000 kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of +675 m/s.

(a) If the shell is fired straight aft, there will be negligible friction opposing the ships recoil velocity. Calculate its recoil velocity.
  m/s
(b) Calculate the increase in internal kinetic energy (that is, for the ship and the shell). This is less than the energy released by the gun powder -- significant heat is generated.

A battleship fires two artillery shells at nearby enemy ships from the same gun, as shown in the picture below. Both artillery shells follow a symmetric trajectory, such that air resistance can be ignored, each with an initial velocity magnitude of V0 . The ship’s deck, upon which the guns are located, is h1 meters above sea level. (a) The battleship’s gun initially targets ship B . Upon being fired, the artillery shell barely clears the brown mountain, at its...

A 200-ton artillery gun is mounted on a 100-ton railroad car that moves on an east-west track with negligible friction. A metric ton is 1000 kg. If the soldiers did not set the brakes nor mount the car to the ground before shooting the gun, and it fired a 100-kg shell eastward with a velocity of 1600 m/s at an angle of 20o above the horizontal, what would the railroad car with the gun be doing after firing the shell?

A 14-kg shell is fired from a gun with a muzzle velocity 100 m/s at 42o above the horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass. One fragment, whose speed immediately after the explosion is zero, falls vertically. Calculate the range of the other fragment, assuming level terrain.

A 32-kg shell is fired from a gun with a muzzle velocity 80 m/s at 50o above the horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass. One fragment, whose speed immediately after the explosion is zero, falls vertically. Calculate the range of the other fragment, assuming level terrain.

A 0.026-kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 565 m/s in a 3.2-kg rifle. The pain of the rifle’s kick is much worse if you hold the gun loosely a few centimeters from your shoulder rather than holding it tightly against your shoulder. For this problem, use a coordinate system in which the bullet is moving in the positive direction. a. Calculate the recoil velocity of the rifle if it is held loosely away from the shoulder....

1. A 20 kg block is attached to a very light horizontal spring of force constant 500 N/m and is resting on a frictionless horizontal table. Suddenly it is struck by a 3kg stone travelling horizontally to the right at 8m/s, whereupon the stone rebounds at 2m/s horizontally to the left. Find the maximum distance that the block will compress the spring after collision. Draw two diagrams: one for the collision and one for energy. 2. A rifle of mass...

Given the following speeds versus elapsed time, for a 1000 kg object accelerating horizontally with negligible friction and constant propulsive power such that applied work on the objectis power x elapsed time. Instantanous power is defined as force x velocity. Hint: the kinetic energy at time zero is 16 kJ. Time (s): t0=0, t1=1, t2=2, t3=3, Speed (m/s) V0= 5.66, V1= 8, V2=9.80, V3=unknown. The acceleration at t1=1 s with V1=8 m/s is, a3= ____________ (m/s^2). I will rate if...

7. A 77.0 kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150 kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 34.0 m/s. Suppose the goalie and the ice puck have an elastic collision and the puck is reflected back in the direction from which it came. What would their final velocities (in m/s) be in this case? (Assume the original direction of the ice puck toward the goalie is in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with...
