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 97.1 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.263 kg. Initially the wagon is rolling forward at a speed of 0.454 m/s. Then the person throws the rock with a speed of 16.9 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) v = i (b) v =

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
Kyle, a 95.0 kg football player, leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.430 kg ball precisely at the peak of his jump, when he is 0.538 meters off the ground. He hits the ground 0.0333 metersaway from where he leapt. If the ball was moving horizontally when it was caught, how fast was the ball traveling? ball's speed: ? m/s
