A block is released from rest at the top of the frictionless ramp shown in the figure. Mass 1 is 1.59 kg and it is released from a height of 3.98 m above the table top. The block collides elastically with block 2, initially at rest. Mass 2 is 4.59 kg. How far from the base of the table (the distance x in the diagram) does mass 2 land if the table has a height of 4.55 m? (Take the initial direction of block one as positive.)

Anthony is just relaxing since its summer vacation and actually put on some weight too and is now 90 kg. He decides to hit up Lake Thunderbird in his 40 kg boat and chill. Anthony reaches the center of the lake and stops moving and then decides to start fishing. He starts to fish but accidentally threw the 10kg pole at 5 m/s horizontally away from him. Suddenly, the boat starts moving. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of Anthony and the boat if the water really doesn’t have much friction with the boat?

A block of mass m1 = 15.5 kg slides along a horizontal surface (with friction, μk = 0.29) a distance d = 2.65 m before striking a second block of mass m2 = 5.25 kg. The first block has an initial velocity of v = 9.25 m/s. What is the speed of m1, in m/s, right before it collides with m2? Assuming that block one stops after it collides with block two, what is block two's velocity after impact in m/s?

Kaya, a crew member on an interplanetary space ship, is on a spacewalk. She realizes that her ship is moving away from her at 0.5 m/s. She and her spacesuit have a total mass of 95 kg. Her space suit includes a 15 kg backpack, which is included in the 95 kg total mass.a). What is the minimum velocity she will have to throw the backpack so that she can gain enough velocity to eventually catch up with the ship? b). Kaya applies an average force of 400 N to the backpack for 0.05 seconds. Will Kaya make it back to the ship? If so, determine how much time it will take for her to reach the ship. If not, determine how much more force she would need to apply to make it back.
A 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 139-kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat, frictionless surface.
