A 66.0-kg person throws a 0.0495-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 35.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 59.5 kg, catches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.65 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Disregard the friction between the skates and the ice. (Take the direction the snowball is thrown to be the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) thrower m/s (Give your answer to at least three decimal places.) catcher m/s

After skiding down a snow-covered hill on an inner tube, Ashley is coasting across a level snowfield at a constant velocity of +1.6 m/s. Miranda runs after her at a velocity of +4.9 m/s and hops on the inner tube. How fast do the two of them slide across the snow together on the inner tube? Ashley's mass is 75 kg, and Miranda's is 56 kg. Ignore the mass of the inner tube and any friction between the inner tube and the snow
You have two identical cars, both of mass 2,459 kg. The first one is moving to the left with an initial speed of 10.6 m/s, and the second one is moving to the right with a speed of 7.3 m/s. Adopt a coordinate system where rightward is positive. After they collide, they stick together. What is their final velocity (in m/s)? If your velocity is negative, leave the sign on the answer. Your Answer: Answer
An 19.0-kg fish moving horizontally to the right at 3.11 m/s swallows a 2.2 kg fish that is swimming to the left at 7.43 m/s. What is the speed of the large fish immediately after its lunch if the forces on the fishes by the water can be neglected?
You have two identical cars of mass 1,662 kg. Initially, one car is moving to the right with a speed of 11 m/s, and the other is at rest. After the cars collide, you observe that the car that was moving is now at rest. What is the speed of the other car after the collision (in m/s)? Your Answer: Answer
A 68.5-kg person throws a 0.0490-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 34.5 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 57.0 kg, catches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.65 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Disregard the friction between the skates and the ice. (Take the direction the snowball is thrown to be the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) thrower = ? / m/s (Give your answer to at least three decimal places.) catcher = ? / m/s
Two friends are playing pool at arcade center. One guy hit the cue ball to strike at another ball where it is initially at rest. After the collision caused by the ball that was at rest, the cue ball moves at 2.50 m/s along a line making an angle 0-14.0° with its original direction of motion and the second ball has a speed of 1.50 m/s. Find the answer for Part a,b and c. Part A: Find the angle e between the direction of the motion of the second ball and the original direction of motion of the cue ball. Part B: Find the cue ball's original speed? Part C: Figure out whether kinetic energy is conserved?
For a safe reentry into Earth's atmosphere, the pilots of a space capsule must reduce their speed from 2.60 x 104 m/s to 1.10 × 104 m/s. The rocket engine produces a backward force on the capsule of 1.80 x 105 N. The mass of the capsule is 3280 kg. For how long must they fire their engine? Ignore the change in mass of the capsule due to the expulsion of exhaust gases.
You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 59.1 kg. This time you drop a ball from a height of 1.93 m and it hits the floor 0.251 s after you drop it. This time you suspect you are on a rocket that has just left the surface of the Earth, and is still not too far above the ground. What do you deduce the rocket s acceleration to be? 82.4 m/s^2 51.5 m/s^2 71.1 m/s^2 61.3 m/s^2
A 2.0 kg ball traveling at 1.0 m/s strikes a 3.0 kg ball which is at rest. After an elastic collision, the 2.0 kg ball is traveling in a direction 45 degreesleft of its original path. Set up equations that could be solved to find the velocity of the first ball and the speed and direction of the second ball.
You hold a 0.125 kg glider A and a 0.500 kg glider B at rest on an air track with a compressed spring of negligible mass between them. When you release the gliders, the spring pushes them apart so that they move in opposite directions. When glider A has moved 0.960 m to the left from its starting position, how far to the right from its starting position has glider B moved?
Janet is skating at the ice rink with her little sister Sarah who is initially standing at rest on the ice. Janet then collides head-on into Sarah. Janet continues forward at 1 m/s, while Sarah is thrown backward at 3 m/s. (After the collision, Janet and Sarah are moving in the same direction). Janet’s mass is 55 kg and Sarah’s mass is 39 kg. How fast was Janet moving initially, in m/s?
A 170-g billiard ball is shot toward an identical ball at velocity vi = 6.90 m/s.The identical ball is initially at rest. After the balls hit, one of them travels with velocity v1, f = (1.65 + 2.10) m/s. What is the velocity of the second ball after the impact? Ignore effects of friction during this process. (Express your answer in vector form.)
