A plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide along the floor. Immediately after the impact, a 320-g piece moves along the x-axis with a speed of 2.00 m/s and a 355-g piece moves along the y-axis with a speed of 1.50 m/s. The third piece has a mass of 100 g. In what direction does the third piece move? You can neglect any horizontal forces during the crash.

A 59.5 kg man standing on a frictionless surface pushes two large boxes in opposite directions as shown. Initially everything is a rest. If the left box has mass 41.5 kg and final speed 3.25 m/s, and the right box has mass 27.0 kg and final speed 2.00 m/s, what is the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of the man? Let the positive direction be to the right.
James decides to use a ball tied to stiff rod to take out the Road Runner. He first needs to test this idea out on a small scale. A steel ball of mass 0.500 kg is fastened to a cord that is 70.0 cm long and fixed at the far end. The ball is then released when the cord is horizontal (see figure below). At the bottom of its path, the ball strikes a 2.50 kg steel block initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The collision is elastic. a) Find speed of the ball just before impact. b) Find the speed of the block just after impact.
A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total mass of the wagon, rider, and rock is 99.5 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.277 kg. Initially the wagon is rolling forward at a speed of 0.488 m/s. Then the person throws the rock with a speed of 16.6 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Find the speed of the wagon after the rock is thrown (a) directly forward in one case and (b) directly backward in another. (a) vi (b) v-
At the center of a 47.0 m diameter circular ice rink, a 56.0 kg skater traveling north at 2.60 m/s collides with and holds onto a 59.0 kg skater who had been heading west at 1.05 m/s. How long (in seconds) will it take them to reach the edge of the rink assuming negligible friction and drag?

A rubber ball is dropped and bounces vertically from a horizontal concrete floor. If the ball has a speed of 3.2 m/s just before striking the floor and a speed of 2.4 m/s just after bouncing, what is the average force of the floor on the ball? Assume the ball is in contact with the floor for 0.15 s and the mass of the ball is 0.14 kg. N
