Here's my problem guys, I've been trying to puzzle this out for a while. Would really appreciate any help at all, thanks! Homework Statement A 50.0 g ball of clay traveling east at 5.50 m/s collides and sticks together with a 40.0 g ball of clay traveling north at 6.00 m/s. What is the...

Homework Statement A 75 g 30 cm long rod hangs vertically on a frictionless, horizontal axle passing through its center. A 10g ball of clay traveling horizontally at 2.5 m/s hits and stick to the very bottom tip of the rod. To what maximum angle measured from the vertical, does the rod with...

[SOLVED] Sticky Collision with Clay Ball and Rod Homework Statement A uniform rod of mass m and length \ell = 2 meters is suspended from one end by a frictionless pivot so that it can swing freely in the x-y plane. When the rod is at rest it is struck by a clay ball of equal mass m with...

Homework Statement A 50 g ball of clay traveling at speed v_0 hits and sticks to a 1.0 kg block sitting at rest on a frictionless surface. a. What is the speed of the block after the collision? b. Show that the mechanical energy is not conserved in this collision. What percentage of the...

Homework Statement A 20g ball of clay traveling east of 3.0m/s collides with a 30g ball of clay traveling north at 2.0m/s. What are the speed and the direction of the resulting 50g ball of clay? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution For most of the other problems in...

Homework Statement On a pleasant fall day(temperature of 21.0 C) a lump of clay (with mass of .885kg) is thrown against the wall with speed of 38.0 m/s. the clay deforms as it sticks to the wall, noiselessly. assuming no heat escapes into the air, what will the final temp of the clay be.(clay...

k the question states On a pleasant fall day (temperature of 21.0 degree Celcius) a lump of clay (with mass of .855 kg) is thrown against the wall with a speed of 38.0 m/s. The clay deforms as it sticks to the wall, noiselessly. Assuming no heat escapes into the air, what will be the...

Homework Statement A wad of sticky clay (mass m, velocity v), is fired at a solid cylinder (mass M, radius R). The cylinder is initially at rest and rotates on an axis through the center of mass. The line of motion of the projectile is perpendicular to the axis of rotation and at a distance d...

Hi! I have one question about dams When building a dam with clay core you must prepare that core ( so the moisture would be optimal , geomechanical characteristics would be satisfied and that sort of things,don't have time to elaborate all) I have heard on lectures that there are two ways to...

Help With Clay and Wood... I have a couple projects I have been putting off for a while because I need advice before beginning them. Firstly I have been wanting to make a puzzle box. The same sort of idea as the one in Hellraiser except that I will likely be using wood and mine won't...

A massless pan hangs from a spring that is suspended from the ceiling. When empty, the pan is 50cm below the ceiling. If a 100g clay ball is placed gently on the pan, the pan hangs 60cm below the ceiling. Suppose the clay ball is dropped from the ceiling onto an empty pan. What is the pan's...

All of these problems are the last of a series of ten, which i cannot solve. I've given extensive efforts but am now nearly out of time (12pm est). if anone could be of help please feel free. A 20 g ball of clay traveling east at 2m/s collides with a 30 g ball of clay traveling 30 degrees...

I am working on a project involving electrically heating clayey soils (having 55% moisture content and 0.5 M salt (nacl/KCl) solutions in the pore space. Does anybody know if electrolysis of water/electrolyte is a concern with AC currents (230 V, 60 Hz frequencies)? Thanks, WWW :smile:

Problem: A thin rod of mass M and length L rests on a frictionless table and is struck at a point L/4 from its center of mass by a clay ball of mass m moving at a speed v (the velocity vector is perpendicular to the rod). The ball sticks to the rod. Determine the translational and rotational...
