Mech. I.
A projectile is fired horizontally from a launching device, exiting with a speed Ivx. While the projectile is in the
launching device, the impulse imp3l1ed to it is J p, and the average force on it is Fm'g. Assume the force becomes zero
just as the projectile reaches the end of the launching device. Express your answers to pal1s (a) and (b) in terms of Vx,
.61" Fm'g, and fundamental constants, as appropriate.
(a) Determine an expression for the time required for the projectile to travel the length of the launching device.

The projectile is fired horizontally into a bl~Od
that is clamped to a tabletop so that it cannot move. The
projectile travels a distance d into thV,>l6ck before it stops. Express all algebraic answers to the following in terms of
d and the given quantities previously indicated, as appropriate.
(c) Derive an expression for the .,(ork done in stopping the projectile.

ow a new projectile and block are used, identical to the first ones, but the block is not clamped to the table. The
projectile. is again fired into the block of wood and travels a new distance d" into the block while the block slides
across the table a sh0l1 distance D. Assume the following: the projectile enters the block with speed x, the average
force Fb between the projectile and the block has the same value as determined in part (d), the average force of friction
between the table and the block isfr, and the collision is instantaneous so the frictional force is negligible during the
collision.
