In a physics demonstration, two teams of equal-mass students are placed on each of two identical carts. A student on Cart A pushes upon Cart B. Which of the following statements describes the resulting motion of the two carts? O Cart A and Cart B will move away from each other with the same speed. O Cart A will remain stationary; cart B will be propelled rightward. O Cart A will move backwards slightly; cart B will be propelled rightward with considerably greater momentum.

A 50.0 kg astronaut is standing on a 250.0 kg space capsule. He pushes off from the space capsule with a velocity of 10.0 m/s. How long does it take for him to reach a point 50.0 m away from the space capsule? (Hint: Not 5 seconds!)
Two blocks, one with mass m and the other with mass 2m are pushed by constant forces of equal magnitude F over a time interval of 5.0 s. Which of the following is true about the momentum of the two blocks at the end of this distance? The m block has a larger momentum than the 2m block. The 2m block has a larger momentum than the m block. The momenta of the two blocks are equal. Not enough information is given to answer this.
A 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 139-kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat, frictionless surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity of 1.47 m/s to the right relative to the plank. (Let the direction the girl is moving in be positive. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (a) What is her velocity relative to the surface of ice? = ____ m/s (b) What is the velocity of the plank relative to the surface of ice? = _____ m/s
A skater of mass 72.5 kg initially moves in a straight line at a speed of 4.80 m/s. The skater approaches a child of mass 35.0 kg, whom he lifts on his shoulders. Assuming there are no external horizontal forces, what is the skater's final velocity?
Identical twins, each with mass 52.5 kg, are on ice skates and at rest on a frozen lake, which may be taken as frictionless. Twin A is carrying a backpack of mass 12.0 kg. She throws it horizontally at 2.55 m/s to Twin B. Neglecting any gravity effects, what are the subsequent speeds of Twin A and Twin B?
A little fish has mass 0.400 kg and is floating motionlessly in the water, minding its own business, when a big fish (mass 2.00 kg) comes along and swallows it whole. If the big fish was gliding along at a constant velocity of 1.25 m/s before it swallowed the little fish, what will its velocity be immediately after the "collision"? O 1.04 m/s 7.50 m/s 1.50 m/s 0.250 m/s
Your answer is partially correct. Docking a Spaceship. You and your crew must dock your 2.75 x 104 kg spaceship at Spaceport Alpha, which is orbiting Mars. In the process, Alpha's control tower has requested that you ram another vessel, a freight ship of mass 1.80 × 104 kg, latch onto it, and use your combined momentum to bring it into dock. The freight ship is not moving with respect to the colossal Spaceport Alpha, which has a mass of 1.85 x 107 kg. Alpha's automated system that guides incoming spacecraft into dock requires that the incoming speed is less than 2.0 m/s. (a) Assuming a perfectly linear alignment of your ship's velocity vector with the freight ship (which is stationary with respect to Alpha) and Alpha's docking port, what must be your ship's speed (before colliding with the freight ship) in order that the combination of the freight ship and your ship arrive at Alpha's docking port with a speed of 1.65 m/s? (b) What will be the velocity of Spaceport Alpha when the…
Two carts mounted on an air track are moving toward one another. Cart 1 has a speed of 1.0 m/s and a mass of 0.52 kg. Cart 2 has a mass of 0.73 kg. (NEED HELP WITH PARTS A+C) (a) If the total momentum of the system is to be zero, what is the initial speed of Cart 2 in meters per second? (b) Does it follow that the kinetic energy of the system is also zero since the momentum of the system is zero? (ALREADY SOLVED - No it doesn't) (c) Determine the system's kinetic energy in joules in order to substantiate your answer to part (b).
