Hockey puck B rests on a smooth ice surface and is struck by a second puck A, which
has the same mass. Puck A is initially traveling at 15.0 m/s and is deflected 25
degrees from its initial direction. Assume that the collision is perfectly elastic. Find
the final speed of each puck and the direction of B’s velocity after the collision.
2. Spheres A (mass 0.020 kg), B (mass 0.030 kg) and C (mass 0.050 kg)
are approaching the origin as they slide on a frictionless air table.
The initial velocities of A and B are given in the figure. All three
spheres arrive at the origin at the same time and stick together. What
must be the velocity of C to end up moving at 0.50 m/s in the +x-
direction after the collision?
4. A pulley, with a rotational inertia of 3.7 x 10-2 kg·m2 about its axle and a radius of
7.3 cm, is acted on by a force applied tangentially at its rim. The force magnitude
varies in time as F = 0.16t + 0.34t2, with F in newtons and t in seconds. The pulley
is initially at rest. At t = 3.2 s what are (a) its angular acceleration and (b) its
angular speed?
7. An ore sample weighs 17.50 N in air. When the sample is suspend by a light cord
and totally immersed in water, the tension in the cord is 11.20 N. Find the total
volume and density of the sample?
8. At one point in a pipeline the water’s speed is 3.00 m/s and the pressure is 5 x 10 4
Pa. Find the pressure at the second point in the line, 11.0 m lower than the first, if
the pipe diameter at the second point is twice that at the first.
