A wild Charizard appears! A Pokémon trainer sees a Charizard and throws a pokéball at the Charizard to catch it. The trainer throws the ball with a velocity of 16 m/s. If the pokéball has a mass of 0.773 kg, what is its linear momentum?
A 719-N man stands in the middle of a frozen pond of radius 4.0 m. He is unable to get to the other side because of a lack of friction between his shoes and the ice. To overcome this difficulty, he throws his 1.2-kg physics textbook horizontally toward the north shore at a speed of 4.0 m/s. How long does it take him to reach the south shore?
A 86-kg astronaut and a 1200-kg satellite are at rest relative to the space shuttle. The astronaut pushes on the satellite, giving it a speed of 0.18 m/s directly away from the shuttle. Seven-and-a-half seconds later the astronaut comes into contact with the shuttle What was the initial distance from the shuttle to the astronaut?Express your answer using two significant figures.

A 0.58 kg ball is moving horizontally with a speed of 3.8 m/s when it strikes a vertical wall. The ball rebounds with a speed of 2.5 m/s. What is the magnitude of the change in linear momentum of the ball?
One day while out on a space walk to repair your ship, you notice that you have forgotten to tie off your tether! You and the heavy wrench you are carrying are drifting slowly away from the ship with a velocity of V1 = -2.87 m/s (this is negative since you are moving left in the figure). Your mass (including your suit) is M = 106 kg and you are carrying a wrench of mass m = 9.23 kg. You are one smart astronaut and and you throw the wrench in the direction away from your ship as hard as you can. The result is that afterward, your velocity is V2 = 0.64 m/s (this is positive since you are now moving right in the figure). Determine all the following:a) The velocity of the wrench at moment 2: v2 = m/sb) The total kinetic energy of you and the wrench before the throw: KE1 = Joulesc) The total kinetic energy of you and the wrench after the throw: KE2 = Joulesd) Where did all the extra energy come from at moment #2? (multiple choice) 1. Lowering the gravitational potential energy of the…
A cue ball travelling at 0.785 m/s [270°] strikes a stationary five-ball, causing it to move at 0.601 m/s [230°]. The cue ball and the five-ball each have a mass of 160 g. What will be the velocity of the cue ball immediately after impact? Ignore frictional and rotational effects.
A puck of mass m₂ = 72.0 g and radius r₁ = 3.70 cm glides across an air table at a speed of = 1.50 m/s as shown in Figure a. It makes a glancing collision with a second puck of radius r₂ = 6.00 cm and mass m₂ = 105 g (initially at rest) such that their rims just touch. Because their rims are coated with instant-acting glue, the pucks stick together and rotate after the collision (Figure b). m₁ m₂ b (a) What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the system relative to the center of mass? kg. m²/s (b) What is the angular speed about the center of mass? rad/s

Kramer goes bowling and decides to employ the force of gravity to "pick up a spare." He rolls the 6.50 kg bowling ball very slowly so that it comes to rest a center-to-center distance of 0.245 m from the one remaining 2.00 kg bowling pin. Treat both the ball and the pin as point objects, and determine the magnitude of the force of gravity ?⃗ grav between them.
You're watching Disney on ice through a streaming service. Ariel and Aurora 1.4 m/s (each with mass equal to 55 kg), glide in the directions shown (parallel to each other). Their velocities are opposite direction, but both equal to 1.4 m/s. Aurora carries one end of a long massless rod. Their paths are separated by 3.0 m. The other skater grabs the end of the pole as she reaches it. They both then rotate around the center of the rod. For the problems below, assume that there is no friction between the princesses and the ice and we're talking about after the two princesses both hold the rod. 1.4 m/s 1. What is the translational (linear) speed of the two-princess system, specifically, at what speed is the center-of-mass (since everything is symmetric, the c.o.m, is at the center) moving? 2. What is the angular speed of the princesses? 3. What is the kinetic energy of the two-princess system? (continued on second page)
8. A 50.0 kg cart is rolling to the left on a frictionless surface at 5.00 m/s. A 15.0 kg package slides down a chute inclined at 37° and leaves the end of the chute with a speed of 3.00 m/s. The package lands in the cart and they roll off together. The lower 37 end of the chute is a vertical distance of 4.00 m above the bottom of the cart. 4,00 m (a) What is the speed of the package just before it lands in the cart? (b) What is the velocity of the cart after the package lands in it?
