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.
Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1200 kg and is approaching at 8.5 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 550 kg and is approaching at 15 m/s due west. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the final velocity, in meters per second, of the cars. (b) Calculate the direction of the final velocity, in degrees south of west, of the cars. (c) What is the change in kinetic energy, in joules, for the collision? (This energy goes into the deformation of the cars.)

An 70 kg basketball player lands from a jump and tries to stop her forward motion or momentum. The normal contact force exerted by the floor on her shoes is 2800 N. The frictional force exerted by the floor on her shoes is 800 N and this force acts posteriorly on the player. There was minimal medial-lateral force during the landing and so this component of the ground reaction force can be ignored. What is the resultant ground reaction force exerted by the floor on the basketball player's shoes? How many times greater than the player's body weight is this resultant ground reaction force calculated in part a)?

During a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.200-kg ball changes from25.0 m/stowardthe wall to 20.0m/s away from the wall. If the time the ball was in contact with the wall was 0.03s, what was the magnitude of the average force the wall applied on the ball?
(a) Find the speed at which Superman (mass=90.0 kg) must fly into a train (mass = 17485 kg) traveling at 65.0 km/hr to stop it. Running into the train at that speed would severely damage both train and passengers. (b) Calculate the minimum time Superman must take to stop the train if the passengers experience an average horizontal force of 0.410 their own weight. (c) How far does the train then travel while being slowed to a stop?

A railroad diesel engine coasting at 20 Km/h runs into a stationary flatcar. The diesel engine weighs 10,000 N and the flatcar has a mass of 100 Kg. Assuming the engine and the flatcar couple together, how fast are they moving after the collision?
By the side of a highway, a runaway truck ramp is built as a safety feature. The ramp rises at an angle of 24 degrees from the horizontal. A truck of mass 7,041 kg is moving at a speed of 37 m/s when the brakes fail. The driver turns off the engine and turns onto the runaway truck ramp. (a) If friction were negligible, how far will the truck travel (mifasured along the ramp) before coming to a stop? Number m (b) The ramp is designed to produce a strong frictional resistance. If the coefficient of rolling friction (similar to the coefficient of kinetic friction) is .456, how far will the truck travel up the ramp? Number m Hint for part (b): What is the initial energy of the truck? Draw a free body diagram as it moves up the ramp. What is the magnitude of the friction force? Suppose the truck moves a distance D and stops. What would be the work on the truck by friction? What would be the potential energy of the truck when it stops?
A billiard ball moving at 5.95 m/s strikes a stationary ball of the same mass. After the collision, the first ball moves at 4.93 m/s, at an angle of 34° with respect to the original line of motion.
