A starship traveling at 99% of the speed of light fires a missile at an enemy starship which is 312 m ahead and traveling at the same velocity. The missile, which is 4.0 m long as measured aboard the starship before it is fired, travels from the launcher at a speed 120 m/s faster than the ship. What does the length of the missile appear to be to the occupants of the enemy ship? meters

A ship maneuvers to a position at a horizontal distance Δx1 = 2.50×103 m from an island's mountain peak with maximum height hM = 1.80×103 m, and fires a projectile at an enemy ship on the other side of the peak, which is at a horizontal distance Δx2 = 6.10×102 m from the peak, as illustrated below. The projectile is shot with an initial velocity vi = 2.50×102 m/s at an angle θ = 75.0∘. Assume no air resistance and ay = −g = −9.80 m/s2. a) What type of motion does the projectile undergo? What type of trajectory does it have? b) Find the maximum height hmax reached by the projectile. c) Find the total time of flight in the air Δttot just before the projectile hits the water surface. d) How close horizontally to the enemy ship does the projectile land? e) How close vertically does the projectile come to the peak?

Q.6. A small point-like piece of clay with mass m = 200 g is traveling at a constant velocity v→0 = (30 m/s) î towards a stationary cylindrical hoop of mass M = 2000 g and radius R = 50 cm that is free to rotate about its central axis which is at the center of the zy-plane. Before sticking to the hoop, the clay is traveling along a horizontal line a distance d = 23 R. The clay impacts and sticks to the hoop at point A. a. What is the angular momentum of the system L → 0 before the collision about the origin? (include unit vector direction) b. What is the moment of inertia of the system after the clay sticks to the rod? c. Find the angular speed ω just after the collision. d. What is the kinetic energy of the system just after the collision? e. At what vertical height y does point A momentarily stop?

The two ends of a length of chain are attached so that the chain makes a circle. If the chain is then spun very quickly, it can roll along the ground like a bicycle tire without crumpling. Consider the rolling chain shown in the figure. Assume the chain has uniform linear mass density μ and its center of mass moves to the right at a speed v0. (a) Determine the tension in the chain in terms of μ and v0. Assume the weight of an individual link is negligible compared to the tension. T = (b) If the loop rolls over a small bump, the resulting deformation of the chain causes two transverse pulses to propagate along the chain, one moving clockwise and one moving counterclockwise. What is the speed of the pulses traveling along the chain? (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.) v = (c) Through what angle (in rad) does each pulse travel during the time interval over which the loop makes one revolution? (Assume the angle is measured clockwise from the ground. ) clockwise-traveling pulse rad counterclockwise-traveling pulse rad
