The Moon's craters are remnants of meteorite collisions. Suppose a fairly large asteroid that has a mass of 5.00 x 1012 kg (about a kilometer across) strikes the Moon at a speed of 15.0 km/s. (a) At what speed does the Moon recoil after the perfectly inelastic collision (the mass of the 22 Moon is 7.36 x 10 kg)? (b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision? Such an event may have been observed by medieval English monks who reported observing a red glow and subsequent haze about the Moon. (c) In October 2009, NASA crashed a rocket into the Moon, and analyzed the plume produced by the impact. (Significant amounts of water were detected.) Answer part (a) and (b) for this real-life experiment. The mass of the rocket was 2000 kg and its speed upon impact was 9000 km/h. How does the plume produced alter these results?

What is the direction of the force exerted by the car on the passenger as the car goes over the top of the amusement ride pictured in Figure 6.33 under the following circumstances:

(a) The car goes over the top at such a speed that the gravitational force is the only force acting?

(b) The car goes over the top faster than this speed?

(c) The car goes over the top slower than this speed?

A 2150 kg car moves down a level highway under the actions of twoforces: a 960 N forward force exerted on the drive wheels by theroad and a 910 N resistive force. Use the work-energy theorem tofind the speed of the car after it has moved a distance of 27 m,assuming that it starts from rest.___________________m/s
