An astronaut comes loose while outside the spacecraft and finds himself floating away from the spacecraft with only a big bag of tools. In desperation, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion (away from the space station). The astronaut has a mass of 102 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of 10.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at 1.80 m/s initially, what is the minimum final speed of the bag of tools (with respect to the space station) that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever? minimum final speed: m/s
A freight train is being assembled in a switching yard, with two boxcars. Car 1 has a mass of m1= 61x10^3 kg and moves at a velocity of Vo1= +1 m/s. Car 2, with a mass of m2= 92x10^3 kg and a velocity 0f Vo2= +1 m/s, overtakes car ! and couples to it. Neglecting friction, find the common velocity (m/s) of the cars after they become coupled. Express in 3 decimal places.

Two blocks of masses m1 = 1.60 kg and m2 = 2.10 kg are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface and a compressed spring of force constant k = 285 N/m is placed between them. Neglect the mass of the spring. The spring is not attached to either block and is compressed a distance of 9.50 cm. If the blocks are released from rest, find the final velocity of each block.
() THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ARE BASED ON THE INFORMATION GIVEN BELOW. Block of mass 9 kg moving with velocity v = 39 m/s on a frictionless plane collides block m, which is connected to block m, by a long, massless spring with spring constant k = 8000N/m; see the figure. Each of blocks m, and m3 has a mass of 3 kg. Before the collision, blocks m, and m3 are stationary and the spring is relaxed. k m2 m3 Frictionless • For parts A, B and C assume that the collision of blocks m, and m, is completely inelastic. (Because the spring is relaxed before the collision, block m, does not move at the instant of impact, therefore (m1 +m2) must move through a finite displacement before any force acts on m3 and cause it to move.) • For parts D and E assume that the collision of blocks m, and m, is elastic. (Because the spring is relaxed before the collision, block m3 does not move at the instant of impact, therefore m, must move through a finite displacement before any force acts on m3 and cause it to…
