A Federation starship ( 2.10×106 ) uses its tractor beam to pull ashuttlecraft ( 1.90×104 ) aboard from a distance of 11.0 away. Thetractor beam exerts a constant force of on the shuttlecraft. Bothspacecraft are initially at rest.

How far does the starship move as it pulls the shuttlecraftaboard?

A cord runs around two massless, frictionless pulleys. A canister with mass m = 47 kg hangs from one pulley, and you exert a force on the free end of the cord.

(a) What must be the magnitude of if you are to lift the canister at a constant speed?

(b) To lift the canister by 2.6 cm, how far must you pull the free end of the cord?

During that lift, what is the work done on the canister by (c) your force (via the cord) and (d) the gravitational force?

(Hint: When a cord loops around a pulley as shown, it pulls on the pulley with a net force that is twice the tension in the cord.)

A cannon is rigidly attached to a carriage, which can move alonghorizontal rails, but is connected to a post by a large spring,initially unstretched and with force constant k = 1.70 104 N/m, asin Figure P6.61. The cannon fires a 200 kg projectile at a velocityof 115 m/s directed 45.0° above the horizontal.

Figure P6.61
(a) If the mass of the cannon and its carriage is 5000 kg, find therecoil speed of the cannon.

Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%.Double check your calculations. m/s

(b) Determine the maximum extension of the spring.
m

(c) Find the maximum force the spring exerts on the carriage.
N


(d) Consider the system consisting of the cannon, the carriage, andthe shell. Is the momentum of this system conserved during thefiring?
yes
no
