A box of mass M=1980 g, filled with sand, is suspended from a 1=1.5 m long rope. The length of the rope is much larger than the dimensions of the box. A bullet with mass m=20 g flying with a velocity of v=500 m/s in the horizontal direction hits the box and gets stuck. Find the maximum deviation angle of the rope from the vertical. Neglect the drag force of the air. Take g=10m/s^2.
The three blocks shown are identical. Blocks B and C are at rest when block B is hit by block A, which is moving with a velocity Va of 3 ft/s. After the impact, which is assumed to be perfectly plastic (e= 0), the velocity of blocks A and B decreases due to friction, while block C picks up speed, until all three blocks are moving with the same velocity v . Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between all surfaces is μk= 0.20, determine (a) the time required for the three blocks to reach the same velocity, (b) the total distance traveled by each block during that time.
A uranium nucleus (mass 238 units) at rest decays into helium nucleus (mass 4.0 units) and thorium nucleus (mass 234 units). If the speed of the helium nucleus is 6.0 x 10^5 m/s, what is the speed of the thorium nucleus?
