4. A fisherman in a boat catches a shark with a harpoon. The shark struggles for a while and then becomes limp when at a distance of 300 m from the boat. The fisherman pulls the shark all the way to the boat by the rope attached to the harpoon. During this operation, the boat (initially at rest) moves 45 m in the direction of the shark. The mass of the boat is 5400 kg. What is the mass of the shark? Pretend that the water exerts no friction. (Hint: Friction is ignored, so there are no external forces, and the center of mass of the system (the shark and boat) should not move at all.) A) 953 kg B) 477 kg C) 318 kg from the left and of
Tom and his little sister are enjoying an afternoon at the ice rink. They playfully place their hands together and push against each other. Tom's mass is 71 kg and his little sister's mass is 15 kg. Which of the following statements is correct? The force experienced by Tom is less than the force experienced by his sister. The force experienced by the sister is less than the force experienced by Tom. They both experience the same force. Which of the following statements is correct? Tom's acceleration is less than the sister's acceleration. Tom's acceleration is more than the sister's acceleration. They both have the same acceleration. If the sister's acceleration is 2.7 m/s2 in magnitude, what is the magnitude (in m/s2) of Tom's acceleration? (Enter a number.)
Two objects shown and labelled in the figure are connected by a non-elastic chord over a frictionless pulley and the surface is also frictionless. The objects are released from rest and move 1.0 m in 2.0 s. What is the value of mass for the falling object, M, in kg? 3.0 kg M O 0.34 kg 0.68 kg O0.44 kg O 0.091 kg
Lions can run at speeds up to approximately 80.0 km/h. A hungry 109 kg lion running northward at top speed attacks and holds onto a 39.0 kg Thomson's gazelle running eastward at 75.0 km/h. Find the final speed ?fvf of the lion‑gazelle system just after the lion attacks. vf=? in m/s
An amusement park features a set of light railcars, currently resting on a straight, level section of track. Each railcar has a mass of 18 kg. Ellen and her younger brother Tim are seated in two of these railcars, which are initially at rest with the rubber buffers just touching each other. Ellen's mass is 42 kg, while Tim's mass is 32 kg. Ellen pushes Tim's railcar so that it moves away with a speed of 3.0 m/s relative to the track. Assuming that the frictional forces on the railcars are small, how far the railcars will have travelled after 2.0 s?

A stationary 2.17-kg object is struck by a stick. The object experiences a horizontal force given by F = at - bt 2, where t is the time in seconds from the instant the stick first contacts the object. If a = 1,500,000 N/s and b = 20,000,000 N/s?, what is the speed of the object just after it comes away from the stick at t = 2.55 x 103 s? %3D

1. Ember is sailing a fibre glass fishing boat of mass 1600 pounds and enters a marina at 2.58 m/s [W 25.0° N]. Over a time interval of 4.00 s Ember turned the boat towards a slip and slowed to 1.15 m/s [W 25.0° S]. i. What was the average acceleration of the boat during the parking sequence? Criteria: ii. If the boat hits a deck boat of mass 3000 pounds while parking, how much force will the fishing boat experience? Criteria:
A billiard ball strikes and rebounds from the cushion of a pool table perpendicularly. The mass of the ball is 0.38 kg. The ball approaches the cushion with a velocity of +2.30 m/s and rebounds with a velocity of -1.70 m/s. The ball remains in contact with the cushion for a time of 3.40 × 10-3 s. What is the average net force (magnitude and direction) exerted on the ball by the cushion?

A 10-N force is applied to the red cart on the left (Cart 1) for 1 s. After the force has subsided, Cart 1 collides with the blue cart in the middle (Cart 2), that is initially moving leftward at 9 m/s leftward. After the collision, Cart 2 continues forward until it collides with the red cart on the right (Cart 3) completely inelastically.
Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in Figure (a). They "push off" and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.42 m/s. If the boy weighs 718 N and the girl 450 N, what is the girl's velocity after they push off? (Consider the ice to be frictionless.)
