Physics Problems on Projectile Motion

The document presents several physics problems involving projectile motion, collisions, and forces. Key scenarios include a shell exploding into fragments, a bullet embedding into a block, and a dog moving on a boat affecting its position relative to the shore. Each problem requires applying principles of conservation of momentum and kinematics to find the required distances or speeds.

. A shell is fired from a gun with a muzzle velocity of 457.20 m/s at an angle of 60
with the horizontal. The shell explodes into two equal fragments 50 s after leaving
the gun. One fragment after the explosion has a velocity of zero arid falls verticaly.
How far from the gun does the other fragment land?

A bullet weighing 4.5 x 10-kg is fired horizontally into a 1.8 kg wOoden block at
rest on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and
surface is 0.20. The bullet comes to rest in the block which moves 1.8 m. Find the
speed of the bullet.

A dog with 4.53 kg mass is standing on a flat boat so that it is 6.10 m from the
shore. It walks 2.44 m on the boat towards the shore and then halts. If the boat is
18.10 ka and we can assume no friction boat and water, how far is the dog from the
shore after the long walk? (Hint: The CM of boat + dog does not move).

A shell is fired with a uniform speed of 10 m/s at a stationary target 200 m away in deep space.
Midway ta the target, the shell prematurely explodes into two equal
fragments. One fragment strikes the target 8.0s after the explosion
a. Where is the second fragment at the instance the first fragment strikes target?
b. Will the second fragment also strike the target? lf so, when?

An aircraft uses a Rocket Assisted Take Off Unit (RATO) that is capable of discharging 50 kg of
gas in 10s with an exhaust velocity of 1200 m/s. The 3.0 x 10^3 kg aircraft on ordinary take-off
without RATO, requires a distance of 400 m to reach
lift off speed of 200 kg/hr with constant propeller thrust.
[Link] is the thrust developed by the rocket
With both RATO and normal propeller thrust providing a constant acceleration,
what is the distance required for lift off?

A bullet weighing 4.5 x 10kg is fired horizontally into a 1.8 kg wooden block at rest on a
horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the
Surface is 0.20. The bullet comes to rest in the block which 1.8m . Find the speed of the bullet
