A space vehicle, in a circular orbit around Earth, collides with a small asteroid that ends up in the vehicle’s storage bay. For this collision
Two identical billiard balls traveling at the same speed have a head-on collision and rebound. If the balls had twice the mass, but maintained the same size and speed, how would the rebound be different?
You are a witness in a court case involving a car accident. The accident involved car A of mass which crashed into stationary car B of mass
. The driver of car A applied his brakes
before he crashed into car B. After the collision, car A slid
while car B slid 3
. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the locked wheels and the road was measured to be
. What was the velocity of car A before hitting the brakes?
A crate slides along the floor for
before stopping. If it was initially moving with a velocity of
, what is the force of friction?
Two equal mass balls (one green and the other yellow) are dropped from the same height and rebound off of the floor. The yellow ball rebounds to a higher position. Which ball is subjected to the greater magnitude of impulse during its collision with the floor?
A crate slides along the floor for
before stopping. If it was initially moving with a velocity of
, what is the force of friction?
The area under the curve on a Force versus time (F versus t) graph represents
