(a) A canoeist (person) of mass mp sits at rest at the back end of a canoe. The canoe has a length L, a mass me, and is initially at rest in the still water of a lake with its front end a distance d; from the dock. Then the canoeist realizes that the paddle is still on the dock, and carefully moves to the front of the canoe. After the person reaches the canoe's front end, what will the distance df of the canoe's front end be from the dock? (b) Evaluate your result for mp: = 72 kg, mc = 21 kg, L= 4.2 m, and di = 0.2 m. Will the dock be within reach from the front of the boat? Check: For mp = 56 kg, mc = 23 kg, L = 3.8 m and di = 0.50 m you should find df = 3.2 m.

Two persons A and B who are at rest on an ice skating rink, push each other so that A acquires a velocity of 11.5 m/s towards North. If the mass of person A is 55 kg and that of B is 43 kg. What is the velocity acquired by B and in which direction?Your answer must be in the order Velocity / Direction.
A uniform soda can of mass 0.141 kg is 12.1 cm tall and filled with 0.351 kg of soda (figure below). Then small holes are drilled in the top and bottom (with negligible loss of metal) to drain the soda. (Initially the soda can is full.) (a) What is the height h of the com of the can and contents initially? cm (b) What is the height h of the com of the can and contents after the can loses all the soda? cm (c) What happens to h as the soda drains out? O decreases then rises again decreases to the bottom O rises to the top O stays the same (d) If x is the height of the remaining soda at any give instant, find x when the com reaches its lowest point. cm Splash!
Calculate the location of the center of mass of my arm as a distance from my shoulder if my arm is outstretched horizontally. My upper arm is 0.3m long, has a mass of 4 kg, and has a center of mass location of 0.15m from the shoulder. My forearm (includes hand) is 0.4m long, has a mass of 3 kg, and has a center of mass location of 0.2m from the elbow.
An acrobatic buccaneer swings from one rope to another in the rigging of a pirate ship. As she grasps the rope, her mass is m, 63.5 kg; knots on the rope make the rope's effective mass m, 1.50 kg. From the height %D she grabs the rope, she swings up a further distance of 1.50 m. Assuming that her collision with the rope is perfectly inelastic, answer the following questions: {Note: Treat as a ballistic pendulum problem!} mehanical a) Does the buccaneer's collision with the rope conserve her-kietie en- ergy? {Y/N?} b) Neglecting any energy losses due to friction, air drag, etc., determine the velocity of the buccaneer + rope system right after she grabs the rope in m/s. {Assume a closed system, thus Conservation of Energy} c) Is it possible to calculate the buccaneer's initial speed before she grabbed the rope from the information given? {Y/N?}
(a) A car traveling due east strikes a car traveling due north at an intersection, and the two move together as a unit. A property owner on the southeast corner of the intersection claims that his fence was torn down in the collision. Should he be awarded damages by the insurance company? Defend your answer. (b) Let the eastward-moving car have a mass of 1 300 kg and a speed of 30.0 km/h and the northward-moving car a mass of 1 100 kg and a speed of 20.0 km/h. Find the velocity after the collision. Are the results consistent with your answer to part (a)?

A person is standing still on a horizontal surface. They are holding a dumbbell weighing 10 kg in their right hand, with their arm extended horizontally. The person's mass is 70 kg. Assume that the force due to gravity acts at the center of mass of the person, which is located 1 meter above the ground and directly above the midpoint of their feet. The center of mass of the dumbbell is 0.5 meters from the shoulder joint (the point where the arm is attached to the body). Draw a free body diagram for the person and the dumbbell. Identify all the forces acting on the person. Calculate the torque about the feet caused by the weight of the person and the dumbbell.

You have been hired as an expert witness in a crash investigation. Car A of mass 1900 kg crashed into stationary car B of mass 1000 kg. You measure the coefficient of kinetic friction between the locked tires a was in park so the tires did not turn). Car A hits car B, locking bumpers so that they s bef nd the road to be 0.6 (car B kid off together. They skid 20 m ore coming to a sto p. a) (8 pts) find the speed in km/h of Car A and B (stuck together, so one number) immediately was hit, before they were slowed down by friction. [If you do not have an answer for part a you may assume 20 km/h to continue the problem. Stat had before striking car B. [If you do not have an answer for part b you may assume 50 km/h to continue the problem. State you are doing this] c) (5pts) It turns out car B was just over a hill, so that car A could not have seen it until it was only 40 m away.
