A speeding train (with mass 444,000 kg) is moving east with speed 88.9 m/s. Superman (with mass 90.7 kg) needs to stop the train, (so it doesn't fly off the edge of a cliff!) so he flies directly west toward the train. When he reaches the train, he holds it tightly, and they come to a complete stop in 3.25 s.

You find yourself stuck in outer space with nothing but your physics book and a space suit. You have a mass of 91 kg in your suit, and your physics book has a mass of 2.3 kg. In order to make it back to your stationary spaceship before running out of air, you must move at 0.18 m/s. How fast (in m/s) do you have to throw your physics book to achieve this speed?
The Hulk (200kg of pure angry muscle)collides head-on with a truck (2500kg). If the Hulk was running at 10.0m/s and the truck was moving at 15.0 m/s in the opposite direction, after they stick together, what is their speed (in m/s)? Either the Hulk or the truck needs a negative initial velocity.
stretch 38. Realizing that he could not drive up a 30°, ice-covered hill because there was no friction, Sir Isaac Newton had stopped his cart, of total mass 500 kg, at the bottom. He was struck in the rear by a London stage coach, of total mass 1500 kg. trav- elling at 20 m/s. The two vehicles stuck together, with nothing breaking loose, and slid up the hill in a straight line. How far up the slope did the wreckage get before coming to rest? (SIN '70)
A capsule (mass=8 x102 kg) and booster (mass = 3 x103 kg) are traveling at 1.8 x103 m/s when separation occurs. After the separation, the booster has a speed of 1.8 x102 m/s. What is the speed for the capsule after separation? Give your answer in m/s to the correct number of significant figures.

(b) If the person's mass is 65 kg, what is his momentum when he hits the ground? (c) If he lands and bends his knees, he comes to rest in 0.2 sec. What force is being exerted on his legs to stop him?
A 105-kg rugby player is initially running at 7.5 m/s in the positive direction, but collides head-on with a padded goalpost and experiences a backward force of 1.76 × 104 N for 5.55 × 10–2 s. Calculate the final velocity in the horizontal direction of the rugby player, in meters per second. vf =
There are two particles (1 and 2) that are moving around in space. The mass of particle 1 is 2.8 kg and the mass ofparticle 2 is 1.96 kg. The particles are isolated so that only the forces between the particles are significant. The forcethat 2 exerts on 1 is given by:~F21(t) = Fat ˆi + Fbt3 ˆjThe initial time is ti = 4.1 s and the final time is tf = 6.8 s.Use the following values for the parameters:Fa = -18.4 N/s , Fb = 11.2 N/s3, If the y component of the impulse from 1 on 2 is -5196 N s, what is the y component of the change in momentum forparticle 2?
A 2.4-kg cart is rolling along a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 1.3-kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts are loaded with strong magnets that cause them to attract one another. Thus, the speed of each cart increases. At a certain instant before the carts collide, the first cart's velocity is +4.0 m/s, and the second cart's velocity is -2.5 m/s. (a) What is the total momentum of the system of the two carts at this instant? (b) What was the velocity of the first cart when the second cart was still at rest? (a) Number (b) Number i Units Units

The railcar is moving eastward at a constant speed of 8.2 m/s and has a mass of 38000 kg. The car accelerates westward and when it leaves the flatcar it is traveling at 23.0 m/s relative to the ground. (a) What is the speed of the railcar when the car leaves? (b) What is the distance between the car and the west end of the flatcar, when the car touches the ground?

A delivery person carries a stack of three boxes labeled 1, 2, and 3. Box 3 is on the bottom of the stack, and box 1 is on the top. The masses of boxes 1, 2, and 3 are m = 3.5 kg, m2 = 4.5 kg, and m3 = 8.0 kg, respectively. The delivery person places the stack of boxes on an elevator floor, which then accelerates upward with a magnitude of a = 0.90 m/s?. Assume that the positive direction is up.
