(c) Because the momentum of the airplane is 3 orders of magnitude smaller than of the ship, the ship will not recoil very much. The recoil would be −0.0100 m/s−0.0100 m/s, which is probably not noticeable.

In a collision with an identical car, momentum is conserved. Afterwards vf=0vf=0 for both cars. The change in momentum will be the same as in the crash with the tree. However, the force on the body is not determined since the time is not known. A padded stop will reduce injurious force on body.

35.

(a) 0.163 m/s in the direction of motion of the more massive satellite

(b) 81.6 J

(c) 8.70×10−2m/s8.70×10−2m/s in the direction of motion of the less massive satellite, 81.5 J. Because there are no external forces, the velocity of the center of mass of the two-satellite system is unchanged by the collision. The two velocities calculated above are the velocity of the center of mass in each of the two different individual reference frames. The loss in KE is the same in both reference frames because the KE lost to internal forces (heat, friction, etc.) is the same regardless of the coordinate system chosen.

The plume may affect the kinetic energy result because a significant part of the initial kinetic energy may be transferred to the kinetic energy of the plume particles.

(c) The clown does work to throw the barbell, so the kinetic energy comes from the muscles of the clown. The muscles convert the chemical potential energy of ATP into kinetic energy.

Verify that ratio of initial to final KE equals one: KE = 1 2 mv 1 2 = 18 m J KE = 1 2 mv ′ 1 2 + 1 2 mv ′ 2 2 = 18 m J KE KE′ = 1.00 KE = 1 2 mv 1 2 = 18 m J KE = 1 2 mv ′ 1 2 + 1 2 mv ′ 2 2 = 18 m J KE KE′ = 1.00

(c) The ground will exert a normal force to oppose recoil of the cannon in the vertical direction. The momentum in the vertical direction is transferred to the earth. The energy is transferred into the ground, making a dent where the cannon is. After long barrages, cannon have erratic aim because the ground is full of divots.

We are given that m1=m2≡mm1=m2≡m. The given equations then become:

v 1 = v 1 cos θ 1 + v 2 cos θ 2 v 1 = v 1 cos θ 1 + v 2 cos θ 2

and

0= v1′sinθ1+ v2′sinθ2. 0= v1′ sin θ1+ v2′ sin θ 2 .

Square each equation to get

v 1 2 = v′ 1 2 cos 2 θ 1 + v′ 2 2 cos 2 θ 2 + 2 v′ 1 v′ 2 cos θ 1 cos θ 2 0 = v′ 1 2 sin 2 θ 1 + v′ 2 2 sin 2 θ 2 + 2 v′ 1 v′ 2 sin θ 1 sin θ 2 . v 1 2 = v′ 1 2 cos 2 θ 1 + v′ 2 2 cos 2 θ 2 + 2 v′ 1 v′ 2 cos θ 1 cos θ 2 0 = v′ 1 2 sin 2 θ 1 + v′ 2 2 sin 2 θ 2 + 2 v′ 1 v′ 2 sin θ 1 sin θ 2 .

Add these two equations and simplify:

v 1 2 = v′ 1 2 + v′ 2 2 + 2 v ′ 1 v′ 2 cos θ 1 cos θ 2 + sin θ 1 sin θ 2 = v′ 1 2 + v′ 2 2 + 2 v′ 1 v ′ 2 1 2 cos θ 1 − θ 2 + 1 2 cos θ 1 + θ2 + 1 2 cos θ 1 − θ 2 − 1 2 cos θ 1 + θ 2 = v ′ 1 2 + v ′ 2 2 + 2 v ′ 1 v ′ 2 cos θ 1 − θ 2 . v 1 2 = v′ 1 2 + v′ 2 2 + 2 v ′ 1 v′ 2 cos θ 1 cos θ 2 + sin θ 1 sin θ 2 = v′ 1 2 + v′ 2 2 + 2 v′ 1 v ′ 2 1 2 cos θ 1 − θ 2 + 1 2 cos θ 1 + θ2 + 1 2 cos θ 1 − θ 2 − 1 2 cos θ 1 + θ 2 = v ′ 1 2 + v ′ 2 2 + 2 v ′ 1 v ′ 2 cos θ 1 − θ 2 .

Multiply the entire equation by 12m12m to recover the kinetic energy:

1 2 mv 1 2 = 1 2 m v ′ 1 2 + 1 2 m v ′ 2 2 + m v ′ 1 v ′ 2 cos θ 1 − θ 2 1 2 mv 1 2 = 1 2 m v ′ 1 2 + 1 2 m v ′ 2 2 + m v ′ 1 v ′ 2 cos θ 1 − θ 2

The force needed to give a small mass ΔmΔm an acceleration aΔmaΔm is F=ΔmaΔmF=ΔmaΔm. To accelerate this mass in the small time interval ΔtΔt requires ve=aΔmΔtve=aΔmΔt, so F=veΔmΔtF=veΔmΔt. By Newton’s third law, this force is equal in magnitude to the thrust force acting on the rocket, so Fthrust=veΔmΔtFthrust=veΔmΔt, where all quantities are positive. Applying Newton’s second law to the rocket gives Fthrust−mg=ma⇒a=vemΔmΔt−gFthrust−mg=ma⇒a=vemΔmΔt−g, where mm is the mass of the rocket and unburnt fuel.
