A child is sitting on a stationary skateboard with a pile of rocks which she throws in one direction in order to make the skateboard travel in the opposite direction. If the rocks each have a mass of 0.90 kg and she can throw them with a speed of 12 m/s relative to the ground, determine the number of rocks she must throw per minute in order to maintain a constant average speed against a 1.8 N force of friction. (Note: because this is a rate, the answer may not be a whole number.) rocks/min Enter a number.
"Two bodies of masses 5 and 7 kilograms are initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. A light spring is compressed between the bodies, which are held together by a thin thread. After the spring is released by burning through the thread, the 5 kilogram body has a speed of 0.2 m/s. The speed of the 7 kilogram body is (in m/s)"
The question is if A rock travels at speed v. If rock's mass is tripeld and its speed is reduced to v/3, which of the statements is true? The kinetic energies of the rocks are the same in both cases. The kinetic energy of the rock is smaller than in the first case, but momenta is same. The kinetic energy of the rock is 1/9 its previous value. The kinetic energy of the rock is smaller than in the first case but momentum is larger.
A man walks up to you and hands you an energy drink with mass 0.4 kg. You decide energy drinks aren't for you and throw it on the ground. At the moment the energy drink leaves your hand, it is moving downwards with a speed of 7 m/s and is 1 meter above the ground. Calculate the speed of the energy drink in m/s just before it impacts the ground. As before, assume g = 10 m/s^2. You may neglect air friction. Round your answer to one decimal place.

The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archeological artifacts. 14C (mass 2.34 x 10-26 kg) decays by the process known as beta decay in which the nucleus emits an electron (the beta particle) and a subatomic particle called a neutrino. In one such decay, the electron and the neutrino are emitted at right angles to each other. The electron (mass 9.11 x 10-31 kg) has a speed of 5.00 x 107 m/s and the neutrino has a momentum of 8.00 x 10-24 kg • m/s. What is the recoil speed of the nucleus?
