A frog is sitting on a lily pad when it sees a delicious fly. He darts out his tongue at a speed of 3.40 m/s to catch the fly. The tongue has a mass of 0.410 g, and the rest of the frog plus the lily pad have a mass of 12.5 g. What is the recoil speed of the frog and the lily pad? Ignore drag forces on the pad due to the water.

A 83.8-kg boy and a 59.4-kg girl, both wearing skates face each other at rest on a skating rink. The boy pushes the girl, sending her to the left with a velocity of -2.72 m/s. Neglecting friction, determine the subsequent velocity of the boy to the right. Answer: + m/s
The pendulum apparatus in the video has a total mass of 578 grams. The pendulum rod has a small mass of 20 grams so you can treat all the mass of the pendulum as if it were hanging at the end which is called the “bob”. The mass of the rod should be taken into account in determining the center of mass of the apparatus which is 71.3 cm (not the length of the pendulum). A marble which hass a mass of 10 g is fired at the pendulum bob which has clay on it which allows the marble to stick to it. Derive a formula for measuring the velocity of the marble (vm) as a function of the mass of the marble mm, the mass of the marble/bob mmb and the velocity of the marble and bob vmb using the conservation of momentum.
Jack (mass 56.0 kg) is sliding due east with speed 8.00 m/s on the surface of a frozen pond. He collides with Jill (mass 49.0 kg), who is initially at rest. After the collision, Jack is traveling at 5.00 m/s in a direction 34.0 degrees north of east. Ignore friction. What is the magnitude of the Jill's velocity, after the collision, as she travels at an angle of 35.95 degrees south of east?
A bullet of mass m = 8.00 g is fired into a block of mass M = 240 g that is initially at rest at the edge of a table of height h = 1.00 m (see figure below). The bullet remains in the block, and after the impact the block lands d = 1.80 m from the bottom of the table. Determine the initial speed of the bullet. m/s
A squid with an initial mass of 5.15 kg is initially at rest when it ejects 0.275 kg of fluid with a velocity of 7.5 m/s. Part (a) What is the recoil velocity, in meters per second, of the squid if the ejection is done in 0.12 s and there is a 5.15-N frictional force upposing the squid's movement? Use a coordinate system in which the ink is moving in the positive direction. Part (b) What is the difference in kinetic energy, in joules, between the case when there is no friction and the case where there is friction? Ejost
A stationary firecracker explodes into two pieces. The piece shot to the right has a mass of 0.07 kg and is traveling 45 m/s. How fast is the smaller 0.04 kg piece, which travels to the left? Ignore friction and air resistance.
A 0.020 kg bullet is shot horizontally and collides with a 2.00 kg block of wood. The bullet embeds in the block and the block slides along a horizontal surface for 1.50 m. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.400, what was the original speed of the bullet? Include a diagram of the situation.
To test the impact resistance of a new material, a steel ball is shot through bricks of the material. Two bricks, each with a mass of 1.5 kg, are resting on a frictionless surface, a short distance apart from each other. A steel ball, with a mass of 0.118 kg, is shot into the first brick with a velocity of 174 m/s, and after passing through the first brick, it embeds itself in the second brick. The first brick has a velocity of 1.83 m/s right after the ball leaves. What is the velocity of the second brick with the embedded ball?
