Figure P9.59a shows an overhead view of the configuration of two pucks of mass In on frictionless ice. The pucks are tied together with a string of length 1' and negligible mass. At time t = 0, a constant force of magnitude F begins to pull to the right on the center point of the string. At time t, the moving pucks strike each other and stick together. At this time, the force has moved through a distance 4 and the pucks have attained a speed v (Fig. P9.59b). (a) What is v in terms of F, d, e, and in? (b) How much of the energy transferred into the system by work done by the force has been transformed to internal energy?

A 1500-kg truck and a 1200-kg car are parked with their rear bumpers nearly touching each other in a level parking lot. Both vehicles have their brakes off so that they are free to roll. A man sitting on the rear bumper of the truck exerts a constant horizontal force on the rear bumper of the car with his feet, and the car accelerates at 1.2 m/s2. Ignore any friction between the tires and the parking lot surface. The direction of the unit vector ı^ is the direction of motion of the car.
