Two persons A and B who are at rest on an ice skating rink, push each other so that A acquires a velocity of 11.5 m/s towards North. If the mass of person A is 55 kg and that of B is 43 kg. What is the velocity acquired by B and in which direction?Your answer must be in the order Velocity / Direction.
A 950 kg automobile is at rest at a traffic signal. At the instant the light turns green, the automobile starts to move with a constant acceleration of 4.6 m/s2. At the same instant a 2350 kg truck, traveling at a constant speed of 9.6 m/s, overtakes and passes the automobile. (a) How far is the center of mass of the automobile-truck system from the traffic light at t = 3.7 s? (b) What is the speed of the center of mass of the automobile-truck system then?
An 70 kg basketball player lands from a jump and tries to stop her forward motion or momentum. The normal contact force exerted by the floor on her shoes is 2800 N. The frictional force exerted by the floor on her shoes is 800 N and this force acts posteriorly on the player. There was minimal medial-lateral force during the landing and so this component of the ground reaction force can be ignored. What is the resultant ground reaction force exerted by the floor on the basketball player's shoes? How many times greater than the player's body weight is this resultant ground reaction force calculated in part a)?
A woman weighing 57.1 kg stands at one end of a 120-kg raft that is 6.00 m long. The other end of the raft is 0.500 m from a pier. So, before the woman moves, she is at a total distance of 6.50 m away from the pier. The woman walks toward the pier until she gets to the other end of the uniform raft and stops there. What is the distance between the uniform raft and the pier?
A 1460-kg car is moving westward with a speed of 20.1 m/s, and a 2986-kg truck is traveling east with a speed of 17.5 m/s. Find the velocity of the center of mass of the car-truck system. Assume that the "positive" direction is to the east.

Lions can run at speeds up to approximately 80.0 km/h. A hungry 109 kg lion running northward at top speed attacks and holds onto a 39.0 kg Thomson's gazelle running eastward at 75.0 km/h. Find the final speed ?fvf of the lion‑gazelle system just after the lion attacks. vf=? in m/s
Most of us know intuitively that in a head-on collision between a large dump truck and a subcompact car, you are better off being in the truck than in the car. Why is this? Many people imagine that the collision force exerted on the car is much greater than that exerted on the truck. To substantiate this view, they point out that the car is crushed, whereas the truck is only dented. This idea of unequal forces, of course, is false; Newton's third law tells us that both objects are acted upon by forces of the same magnitude. The truck suffers less damage because it is made of stronger metal. But what about the two drivers? Do they experience the same forces? To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is initially moving at 7.70 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on collision. Each driver has mass 72.0 kg. Including the masses of the drivers, the total masses of the vehicles are 800 kg for the car and 4,000 kg for the truck. If the collision time is 0.110 s,…
A 16-lb bowling ball is at the origin, while a 12-lb ball is at (5,0)m and a 14-lb ball is at (7,4)m. Determine the coordinates of the center of mass of the three bowling balls. A) Enter the x-coordinate of the center of mass. B) Enter the y-coordinate of the center of mass.
A baseball player hits a bunt during which the bat is in contact with the ball for 0.0005 s. If the bat applies a force of 3,000 N to the 0.15 kg baseball, what is the change in the ball's velocity? Your answer should be in units of m/s but you should only submit the number for your answer (and don't worry about negative signs, just use a positive value).
Calculate the center of mass of the upper-arm and forearm of a 75 kg athlete using the appropriate anthropometric tables, when we know the position of Marker1 is (3.5,4.5), Marker 2 is (5,3), and Marker3 is (7,4). The upper arm is defined by markers Marker1 to Marker2, whereas the forearm is defined by markers Marke2 to Marker3.
Daredevil Darla has heard that to avoid injury when jumping out of her rocket she should bend her knees upon landing. Darla has a mass of 74 kg. If just before contact with the ground, she has a downward speed of 7.3 m/s, then. . . (a) In a stiff -legged landing she comes to a halt in 2.0 ms. Find the average net force that acts on her during this time. ( b) When she bends her knees, Darla comes to a halt in 0.10 s. Find the average net force now. (c) During the landing, there are two forces acting on Darla: the normal force from the ground points upward, while her weight force points downward. The average net force acting on Darla includes both of these forces. Taking into account the directions of the forces, find the force of the ground on Darla in parts (a) and (b).
