Ernest Goes Fishing. After putting his fishing gear in the canoe he walks back to his car to lock it. Upon returning he finds that the canoe was not secured properly and is now drifting along the pier parallel to it at 1 m/s, without friction. He runs down the pier at 5 m/s and jumps into the canoe that is moving in the same direction he is. When Ernest has landed in the boat, what is its final velocity (in m/s)? Ernest has a mass of 70 kg and the canoe (with fishing gear) has a mass of 30 kg. Use conservation of momentum for an inelastic collision.

A puck in a shuffleboard game slides a total of 12 m before coming to rest. It kinetic coefficient between the puck and shuffleboard is 0.10. How does one determine the puck’s initial speed in m/s?
Two friends are playing billiards at an 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 e=14.0° with its original direction of motion and the second balI has a speed of 1.50 m/s. Find the answer for Part a,b and c. (Note: Both balls have the same mass.) Part A: Find the angle 0 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?

A firecracker moves vertically upward and after reaching the highest point in its vertical trajectory, it starts falling down. After it falls down by 17.7 meters in air it cracks into two identical pieces. One of the pieces shoots off horizontally with 11.8 m/s speed. What would be the magnitude of the velocity of the other piece right after they split? Enter your answer in m/s. On your paper, show both your calculation for the magnitude and also the direction of the velocity vector of the second piece. Show your work in detail including your physics- based reasoning.
In a ballistic pendulum lab we used the law of projectile to determine the initial velocity.
