Paul DÕAlessandrisÕ  Momentum Conservation Problems

 

Momentum Conservation - 4

------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the farthest reaches of deep space, an 800 kg spaceship, including contents, is traveling at 1300 m/s.  The spaceship recoils after it launches a 60 kg scientific probe into space with a speed of 300 m/s relative to the fixed, distant stars.

Momentum Conservation - 5

------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the farthest reaches of deep space, an 800 kg spaceship, including contents, is traveling at 1300 m/s.  The spaceship recoils after it launches a 60 kg scientific probe into space with a speed of 300 m/s relative to the spaceship.

Momentum Conservation - 6

------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the farthest reaches of deep space, an 800 kg spaceship, including contents, is traveling at 1300 m/s.  The spaceship recoils after it launches a 60 kg scientific probe into space.  After launching the probe, the spaceship is at rest.

Momentum Conservation - 10

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A 140 kg astronaut is standing on the extreme edge of a stationary 1000 kg space platform.  He walks at a constant speed of 5 m/s, with respect to the fixed stars, toward the other edge of the platform.  (He wears special magnetic shoes which allow him to walk along the metal platform.)  As he walks, the platform moves through space.

Momentum Conservation - 11

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A 140 kg astronaut is standing on the extreme edge of a stationary 1000 kg space platform.  He walks at a constant speed of 5 m/s, with respect to the platform, toward the other edge of the platform.  (He wears special magnetic shoes which allow him to walk along the metal platform.)  As he walks, the platform moves through space.

Momentum Conservation - 12

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A 70 kg student is hanging from a 150 kg helium balloon (including basket and mass of helium).  The balloon is rising at a constant speed of 8 m/s.  The ÒliftÓ on the balloon due to the buoyant force is constant.  The student begins to climb up the rope at a speed of 15 m/s as measured by an earthbound observer.  The balloon's upward speed is decreased as the student climbs.

Momentum Conservation - 13

-------------------------------------------------------------------

A 70 kg student is hanging from a 150 kg helium balloon (including basket and mass of helium).  The balloon is rising at a constant speed of 8 m/s.  The ÒliftÓ on the balloon due to the buoyant force is constant.  The student begins to climb up the rope at a speed of 15 m/s as measured from the balloon.  The balloon's upward speed is decreased as the student climbs.

Momentum Conservation - 14

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two astronauts, one 140 kg and the other 170 kg, are standing on opposite edges of a stationary 1000 kg space platform.  They walk at constant speeds of 5 m/s, with respect to the platform, toward the other edge of the platform.  (They wear special magnetic shoes which allow them to walk along the metal platform.)  As they walk, the platform moves through space.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 


Momentum Conservation - 19 Center of Mass

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A 140 kg astronaut is standing on the extreme edge of a stationary 1000 kg, 20 m long space platform.  He walks at a constant speed of 5 m/s, with respect to the platform, toward the other edge of the platform.  (He wears special magnetic shoes which allow him to walk along the metal platform.)  As he walks, the platform moves through space.  When he stops at the other edge, the platform is not in itÕs original position.

Momentum Conservation - 20 Center of Mass

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A 70 kg student is hanging from a 150 kg helium balloon (including basket and mass of helium).  The balloon is stationary.  The ÒliftÓ on the balloon due to the buoyant force is constant.  The student begins to climb up the rope.  The balloon moves downward.  The rope is 10 m long, and the student climbs safely to the top.

Momentum Conservation - 21 Center of Mass

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two astronauts, one 140 kg and the other 170 kg, are standing on opposite edges of a stationary 1000 kg, 25 m long space platform.  They walk toward the other edge of the platform.  (They wear special magnetic shoes which allow them to walk along the metal platform.)  As they walk, the platform moves through space. The platform is not in itÕs original position when they finish their maneuver.
