A 42-kg girl stands on a 5-kg wagon holding two 18.5-kg weights. She throws the weights horizontally off the back of the wagon at a speed of 5.5 m/s relative to herself. weight girl + wagon Assuming that the wagon was at rest initially, what is the speed of the girl after she throws both weights at the same time? 25.12 ? Assuming that the wagon was at rest initially, what is the speed with which the girl will move after she throws the weights one at a time, each with a speed of 5.5 m/s relative to herself?

As shown in the figure, two children with mi 40 (kg) and m2 = 10 (kg) are standing on both ends of a cart of mass M = 50 (kg) and length L= 12 (m), which is initially at rest. How many meters does the cart travel when the children move and walk 5 meters relative to the cart? m m2 L. A) 1.25 B) 1.5 C) 1.6 D) 1.2 E) 1
1. In an experiment, you throw a rubber ball of mass m = 25.0 g onto a block of mass M = 250 g that is initially at rest at the edge of a table of height h = 0.98 m. (Figure) The ball bounces back with a speed of 1.01 m/s, and the block eventually lands at d = 1.02 m from the bottom of the table. What is the speed of the ball, right before it hits the block?
The following question concerns a collision in outer space, far enough from any planets so that the external forces can be considered as negligible. An unmanned spacecraft, having mass 1,500,000 kg and speed 25,000 km/hr collides with a small meteor, having mass 3,000 kg and speed 2,100 km/hr, in the Kuiper belt. a. Prior to the collision, what are the total kinetic energy and total momentum? b. Assuming a head-on collision, in which the meteor becomes lodged into the spacecraft’s body and the two objects move off together, what are the total kinetic energy and momentum after the collision? c. If instead of getting lodged into the spacecraft, the meteor bounced off, would the change in the space craft’s momentum be larger or smaller, or is there not enough information to tell? Explain.
Matthew Damon is a 70-kg astronaut on a space-walk outside the international space station. He is at rest when the tether line connecting him to the space station breaks. In order to make it back to the space station he throws his 2.0-kg hammer at a speed of 14 m/s away from the space station. As a result, what speed does the astronaut move toward the capsule? a) 1.5 m/s b) 5.0 m/s c) 0.40 m/s d) 3.5 m/s
A ship of mass m_b = 200 kg with three passengers, of masses m_1 = 50.0 kg, m_2 = 65.0 kg, m_3 = 70.0 kg, is at rest in a lake. The three passengers jump out of the boat at the same time in different directions, as shown in the figure, with the following speeds: v_1 = 2.00 m / s, v_2 = 1.80 m / s. Determine: (a) at which angle the third passenger must jump for the boat to come to rest after all three passengers jump (b) and how fast

Godzilla is fighting Mothra in Tokyo (again). Godzilla climbs a tall building and, while standing on the top of the building, Mothra slams into him at a speed of 400 m/s. Godzilla grabs onto Mothra during the impact and they are thrown from the top of the building. If Godzilla has a mass of 9 * 103 kg and Mothra has a mass of 3.1 * 103 kg, how fast are the two monsters going as they pitch from the top of the building?
A toy car with a mass of 128 g moves to the right with a speed of 0.810 m/s. A small child drops a 30.0-g piece of clay onto the car. The clay sticks to the car and the car continues to the right. What is the change in speed of the car? Consider the frictional force between the car and the ground to be negligible. -0.15 m/s
8) Your mass is 68.8 kg, and the sled s mass is 11.3 kg. You start at rest, and then you jump off the sled, after which the empty sled is traveling at a speed of 3.10 m/s. What will be your speed on the ice after jumping off? Question 8 options: 0.36 m/s 0.71 m/s 0.61 m/s 0.51 m/s 9) Your mass is 87.6 kg, and the sled s mass is 14.4 kg. The sled is moving by itself on the ice at 3.16 m/s. You parachute vertically down onto the sled, and land gently. What is the sled s velocity with you now on it? Question 9 options: 0.45 m/s 0.32 m/s 0.77 m/s 0.61 m/s
A crane drops a 1.7 kg steel ball onto a steel plate. The ball's speeds just before impact and after are -8.5 m/s and 5.3 m/s, respectively. If the ball is in contact with the plate for 0.048 seconds, what average force does the ball exert on the plate during impact?
An arrow hits a tree penetrating 10 cm as it is brought to rest from its initial speed of 50 m/s inside the tree. The arrows mass was 50 g. a) what average force did the tree exert on the arrow to bring it to rest?
