The drawing shows three particles that are moving with different velocities. Two of the particles have mass m, and the third has a mass 2 m. The third particle has a velocity of v3 = +5.2 m/s. At the instant shown, the center of mass (cm) of the three particles is at the coordinate origin. What is the velocity vcm (magnitude and direction) of the center of mass? Velocity of center of mass = Number Units direction

A particle has a charge of q = +5.4 μC and is located at the origin. As the drawing shows, an electric field of Ex = +205 N/C exists along the +x axis. A magnetic field also exists, and its x and y components are Bx = +1.5 T and By = +1.1 T. Calculate the force (magnitude and direction) exerted on the particle by each of the three fields when it is (a) stationary, (b) moving along the +x axis at a speed of 345 m/s and (c) moving along the +z axis at a speed of 345 m/s. (a) FE = FBx = FBy = (b) FE = FBx = FBy = (c) FE = FBX = FBy =

A 71.5 kg bungee jumper is standing on a tall platform (h0 = 55 m), as indicated in Figure 10.36. The bungee cord has an unstrained length of L0 = 9 m, and when stretched, behaves like an ideal spring with a spring constant of k = 62.5 N/m. The jumper falls from rest, and the only forces acting on him are his weight and, for the latter part of the descent, the elastic force of the bungee cord. (To simplify the problem slightly, assume the cord is attached at the center of mass and the center of mass drops from rest from the height of the platform. ) Figure 10.36 What is his maximum speed during the fall? m/s How high above the water is he when he reaches this speed? m How high above the water is he when he reaches the lowest point in the fall? m
