A block that has a mass M = 4.25 kg is hanging at rest on a light string. A projectile with a mass m = 250 g moving horizontally strikes M and sticks to it. The block and its projectile swing up and the center of mass rises a distance h = 12.0 cm. The speed of the projectile is approximately

What is the speed of the rockets relative to each other : Two relativistic rockets move toward each other. As seen by an observer on earth, rocket A, of proper length 500m, travels with a speed of .8c while rocket B, of proper length 1000m travels with a speed of .6c.

An electron moves with a velocity : An electron moves with a velocity of 5 x 10^5m/s at an angle of 60 degrees with an eastward B field. The electron experiences a force of 3.2 x 10^-18N directed into the paper. What are the magnitude of B and direction of the velocity?

Water is boiling in a pan at sea level on a stove : Water is boiling in a pan at sea level on a stove. During 10 minutes of boiling, it is observed that 200 grams of water has evaporated. Then the rate of heat transfer to the water is what is kJ/min?

What is the smaller charge on the sphere : Two small nonconducting spheres have a total charge of 94.1?C. When placed 1.07 m apart, the force each exerts on the other is 10.5 N and is repulsive. What is the (larger) charge on the spheres? What is the (smaller) charge on the other sphere? What..

What is the breaking strength in newtons of the string : A string under a tension of 60.0 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 2.70 m at a speed of 20.5 m/s on a frictionless surface as shown in the figure below. As the string is pulled in, the speed of the rock increases. When the st..

Disturbed by speeding cars outside his workplace : Disturbed by speeding cars outside his workplace, Nobel laureate Arthur Holly Compton designed a speed bump (called the "Holly hump") and had it installed. Suppose a 1 800-kg car passes over a hump in a roadway that follows the arc of a circle of rad..

Squids rely on jet propulsion to move around : Squids rely on jet propulsion to move around. A 1.7 squid drifting at 0.50 suddenly expels 0.11 of water backward to quickly get itself moving forward at 2.4. If drag is ignored over the small interval of time needed to expel the water (the impulse a..

What is the mass in atomic mass units of the target nucleus : A proton (mass 1 ) is shot toward an unknown target nucleus at a speed of 2.75×106 . The proton rebounds with its speed reduced by 25 while the target nucleus acquires a speed of 3.01×105 . What is the mass, in atomic mass units, of the target nucleu..
