6. An astronaut in space becomes unteathered from her space craft while tightening bolts on a satellite, and she knows that the conservation of momentum is her only hope to safely get back to her ship. She turns her back to the ship and throws her 3.2-kg wrench in the direction pointing away from the ship. If the astronaut and her space suit have a combined mass of 120 kg and she is able to throw the wrench with a speed of 1.7 m/s, how fast will she move toward the space craft? Hint: you can assume that the astronaut is initially at rest relative to the space craft. (A ys

The Beast, friend of Belle, is determined to get in shape so that he doesn’t lose Belle. He loads up a barbell with two 20 kg plates on the right side and two 20 kg plates on the left side. The barbell is 2.2 m long and its unloaded mass is 20 kg. The two 20 kg plates on the right side are locked in place at 35 cm and 40 cm from the right end of the bar. Beast is unbalanced and his form is terrible so the two 20 kg plates on the left side have slipped. One is 30 cm from the left end of the bar and the other is 20 cm from the left end of the bar. Where is the center of gravity of this barbell with the four plates?

A 90.0 kg fullback attempts to score a touchdown by diving over the goal line. When he is at the goal line and moving horizontally at 7.50 m/s, he is met in midair by an opposing 111 kg linebacker, who is initially moving at 4.00 m/s in the opposite direction. The two meet in a head-on collision at the goal line. Does the fullback cross the goal line? Find the total linear momentum of the two players.
10. The drawing shows a collision between two small balls. Ball (1) has a mass of 135 g and is moving along the x-axis with a velocity of 5.40 m/s. It makes a collision with ball (2), which has a mass of 202 g and is initially at rest. After the collision, the two balls fly apart with angles as shown in the figure below (a the velocity of ball (2) after the collision? m/s 46° and ß = 58°). * m₁ m₂ a +X sf60 sf60 ss/60 ssf6 ssf60 ssf60 ssf60 sehat is the magnitude of O ssf ss500 ssf60 ssf60 ssf60 ssf60 ssf60 s sf60 ssf60 ssf60 ssf60 ssf60 50 ssf60 ssf f60 ssf60 ssf60 ssf60 ssf6 Cost ssf60 ssf60 ssfors f60 ssfoo 60 ssf60 ssf60 s16050 ssf sfoo ssf60 so
To test the impact resistance of a new material, a steel ball is shot through bricks of the material. Two bricks, each with a mass of 1.5 kg, are resting on a frictionless surface, a short distance apart from each other. A steel ball, with a mass of 0.118 kg, is shot into the first brick with a velocity of 174 m/s, and after passing through the first brick, it embeds itself in the second brick. The first brick has a velocity of 1.83 m/s right after the ball leaves. What is the velocity of the second brick with the embedded ball?
A 33.7-g rifle bullet traveling 205. m/s buries itself in a 2.97-kg pendulum hanging on a 2.67-m-long string, which makes the pendulum swing upward in an arc. Determine how high (in m) the pendulum swings above its original position.

A boy cruising across a smooth, level sidewalk is approaching a pipe guard-rail. It seems like a good idea for him to jump over the rail and let the skateboard pass under the rail. The mass of the boy is 38.8 kg, the mass of the skateboard is 2.43 kg, the initial cruising speed is +5.22 m/s, and the instant after leaving contact with the board, the boy's velocity relative to the sidewalk is 5.33 m/s, 9.27° above the horizontal. If we ignore the force of friction between the skateboard and the sidewalk, determine the skateboard's velocity relative to the sidewalk at the instant the boy leaves the board. m/s
A bullet of mass 27.0 grams is shot horizontally into a long rod with a wooden block of mass 2.00 kg on the end. The block is initially at rest. The bullet has an original velocity of 250 m/s. After the bullet fully embeds into the block, the block and the bullet swing upward. The wooden rod is 1.40 meters long To what maximum angle, theta, does the pendulum swing after the collision?
