A missile of mass 1.05 102 kg is fired from a plane of mass 4.60 103 kg initially moving at a speed of 2.95 102 m/s. If the speed of the missile relative to the plane is 1.16 103 m/s, what is the final velocity of the plane?
by conservation of momentum
initial momentum = final momentum
let the final velocity of plane be v then,
(1.05 * 10^2 + 4.6 * 10^3) * 2.95 * 10^2 = 1.05 * 10^2 * (v + 1.16 * 10^3) + 4.6 * 10^3 * v
v = 269.113 m/s
final velocity of plane = 269.113 m/s

A missile of mass 1.25*10^2 kg is fired from a plane of mass 4.65*10^3 kg initially moving at a speed of 2.95*10^2 m/s. If the speed of the missile relative to the plane is 1.11*10^3 m/s, what is the final velocity of the plane?
A 10.2 g bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood (M= 4.60 kg). The relative motion of the bullet stops inside the block. The speed of the bullet plus wood combination is measured at 0.700 m/s. What was the original speed of the bullet?
A car with mass MC = 1.26 x 103 kg runs into the back of a truck with mass MT = 3.23 x 103 kg that is initially at rest. Immediately after the collision, the car is moving with a speed of 1.09 m/s and the truck is moving with a speed of 3.29 m/s, both in the direction the car was initially traveling. What is the total kinetic energy lost in the collision? (Of course, the change in energy...

A car with mass MC = 1.44 x 103 kg runs into the back of a truck with mass MT = 3.19 x 103 kg that is initially at rest. Immediately after the collision, the car is moving with a speed of 1.04 m/s and the truck is moving with a speed of 2.53 m/s, both in the direction the car was initially traveling. What is the total kinetic energy lost in the collision? (Of course, the change in energy...
The cannon with mass of 10 t (ton) fires the missile with mass of 30 kg, at an angle of 60° (degrees). Calculate the velocity of the missile in regard to the ground, if the cannon is thrown back at a velocity of 3 m/s.
A boy of mass 43.1 kg is initially on a skateboard of mass 2.00 kg, moving at a speed of 10.4 m/s. The boy falls off the skateboard, and his center of mass moves forward at a speed of 10.9 m/s. Find the final velocity of the skateboard.
A few seconds after a plane took off it was hit by a missile launched from a distance on the ground. The path of the plane is described by y=(0.0005 x?)m. The missile traveled along a parabolic path described by y2 = (160 x), where the coordinates are measured in meters. If the components of the missile velocity in the horizontal and vertical directions are constant at vx =120 m/s and v; = 100 m/s, respectively, and the plane was...
A few seconds after a plane took off it was hit by a missile launched from a distance on the ground. The path of the plane is described by y=(0.0005 x²) m. The missile traveled along a parabolic path described by y2 = (160 x), where the coordinates are measured in meters. If the components of the missile velocity in the horizontal and vertical directions are constant at vr =120 m/s and v; = 100 m/s, respectively, and the plane...
Chapter 07, Problem 19 A lumberjack (mass = 102 kg) is standing at rest on one end of a floating log (mass = 281 kg) that is also at rest. The lumberjack runs to the other end of the log, attaining a velocity of +2.76 m/s relative to the shore, and then hops onto an identical floating log that is initially at rest. Neglect any friction and resistance between the logs and the water. (a) What is the velocity of...
