A boy cruising across a smooth, level sidewalk is approaching a pipe guard-rail. It seems like a good idea for him to jump over the rail and let the skateboard pass under the rail. The mass of the boy is 38.8 kg, the mass of the skateboard is 2.43 kg, the initial cruising speed is +5.22 m/s, and the instant after leaving contact with the board, the boy's velocity relative to the sidewalk is 5.33 m/s, 9.27° above the horizontal. If we ignore the force of friction between the skateboard and the sidewalk, determine the skateboard's velocity relative to the sidewalk at the instant the boy leaves the board. m/s

Albert and his friend Isaac are standing in the middle of a sheet of ice in the student parking lot when they decide to give each other a push. If Albert has a mass of 73.6 kg and moves to the right at 1.30 m/s after the push, how fast will Isaac move if his mass is 51.8 kg? m/s
A 54.9-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocity of -1.93 m/s. Her hands are in contact with the wall for 1.09 s. Ignore friction and wind resistance. Find the average force she exerts on the wall (which has the same magnitude, but opposite direction, as the force that the wall applies to her). Note that this force has direction, which you should indicate with the sign of your answer. Number -9.72 Units
A woman weighing 57.1 kg stands at one end of a 120-kg raft that is 6.00 m long. The other end of the raft is 0.500 m from a pier. So, before the woman moves, she is at a total distance of 6.50 m away from the pier. The woman walks toward the pier until she gets to the other end of the uniform raft and stops there. What is the distance between the uniform raft and the pier?
A tennis ball is flying east towards the wall with a speed of 40.3 m/s. After bounced against the wall, it's flying west with a speed of 28.2 m/s. If the mass of the ball is 0.1 kg, and the time of collision with the wall is 0.033 second, what is the magnitude of force on the wall during this process in unit of Newton?
An object attached to a rope is released from rest where the rope is in a horizontal position. At the lowest point in its swing, a bullet moving in the opposite direction hits the block and lodges deeply into it. As a result of this impact, both the bullet and the block are stationary. What is the magnitude of the bullet's velocity just befote hitting the block? Take the mass of the block to be 2.0 kg, the mass of the bullet to be 8.0 g and the length of the rope to be 1.8 m.
A 76.1 kg astronaut of holding a 12.3 kg tool pack while drifting at 10.6 m/s to the right. She throws the tool pack away so that it is drifting at 1.5 m/s to the left. How fast is she moving after the throw? Assume that they are out in deep space with no other forces acting on them.
8.9 · A 0.160-kg hockey puck is moving on an icy, frictionless, horizontal surface. At t = 0, the puck is moving to the right at 3.00 m/s. (a) Calculate the velocity of the puck (magnitude and direction) after a force of 25.0N directed to the right has been applied for 0.050 s. (b) If, instead, a force of 12.0 N directed to the left is applied from 1 = 0 to t = 0.050 s, what is the final velocity of the puck?

A hockey player slaps a puck into a cushion, which brings the puck to rest. If the puck's initial velocity was +40 m/s and it has a mass of 170 g, what force does the cushion apply to the puck? Assume the cushion acts on the puck for 0.03 s and the surface that the puck slides on is frictionless.
A billiard ball strikes and rebounds from the cushion of a pool table perpendicularly. The mass of the ball is 0.38 kg. The ball approaches the cushion with a velocity of +2.30 m/s and rebounds with a velocity of -1.70 m/s. The ball remains in contact with the cushion for a time of 3.40 × 10-3 s. What is the average net force (magnitude and direction) exerted on the ball by the cushion?
Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in Figure (a). They "push off" and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.42 m/s. If the boy weighs 718 N and the girl 450 N, what is the girl's velocity after they push off? (Consider the ice to be frictionless.)
