Exercise: Kinetics Of A Particle Impulse And Momentum

Questions for: Kinetics Of A Particle Impulse And Momentum

The two handcars A and B each have a mass of 80 kg. Both cars are initially at rest. Both cars start from rest before the man jumps. If the man C has a mass of 70 kg and jumps from A with a horizontal relative velocity of vC/A = 2 m/s and lands on B, determine the velocity of each car after the jump. Neglect the effects of rolling resistance.

A:
vA = 0.933 m/s vB = 0.498 m/s
B:
vA = 1.750 m/s vB = 0.933 m/s
C:
vA = 0.498 m/s vB = 1.750 m/s
D:
vA = 1.750 m/s vB = 1.750 m/s

A toboggan and rider, having a total mass of 150 kg, enter horizontally tangent to a 90° circular curve with a velocity VA and the angle of "descent," measured from the horizontal in a vertical xz plane, at which the toboggan exits at B. Neglect friction in the calculation. The radius rB equals 57 m.

A:
vB = 21.9 m/s, = 20.9°
B:
vB = 23.4 m/s, = 29.0°
C:
vB = 20.7 m/s, = 8.84°
D:
vB = 20.3 m/s, = 7.37°

A stunt driver in car A travels in free flight off the edge of a ramp at C. At the point of maximum height he strikes car B. If the direct collision is perfectly plastic (e = 0), determine the required ramp speed vC at the end of the ramp C, and the approximate distance s where both cars strike the ground. Each car has a mass of 3.5 Mg. Neglect the size of the cars in the calculation.

A:
vC = 25.9 m/s, s = 10.99 m
B:
vC = 22.4 m/s, s = 9.52 m
C:
vC = 25.9 m/s, s = 10.99 m
D:
vC = 25.9 m/s, s = 10.99 m

A:
vcrate = 23.2 m/s
B:
vcrate = 70.0 m/s
