A rifle fires two 4 g bullets at 2 kg target. The target is initially at rest and free to slide on a frozen pond while the gun is fixed to the ground. Each bullet leaves the rifle at 225 m/s and is imbedded in the target. Each collision conserves momentum. Each bullet strike is like a collision between carts that stick together. The rifle itself is irrelevant to the problem. Just consider the bullets and the target. Find the...

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. J

An air gun with a 30-cm long barrel fires a 56-g ball straight upwards. While the ball is in the barrel, compressed air exerts a constant force of 3.2-N force upwards. Calculate the maximum height above the end of the air gun that the ball reaches. Ignore any air resistance. [The pressure from the air gun is not air resistance] Notes • Solve this problem using Work and Energy. NO KINEMATICS ALLOWED!!! • The ball travels 1.45 m above the...
