Ricardo, of mass 81 kg, and Carmelita, who is lighter, are enjoying Lake Merced at dusk in a 34 kg canoe. When the canoe is at rest in the placid water, they exchange seats, which are 2.6 m apart and symmetrically located with respect to the canoe's center. Ricardo notices that the canoe moves 45 cm horizontally relative to a pier post during the exchange and calculates Carmelita's mass. What is it? Number Units

A baseball of mass m1 = 0.34 kg is thrown at a concrete block m2 = 7.5 kg. The block has a coefficient of static friction of μs = 0.76 between it and the floor. The ball is in contact with the block for t = 0.105 s while it collides elastically. The force of interaction between the block and the ball is constant for the duration of their collision. Randomized Variables m1 = 0.34 kgm2 = 7.5 kgμs = 0.76t = 0.105 s a. Write an expression for the minimum velocity the ball must have, vmin, to make the block move. b. What is the velocity in m/s?

A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.490 m/s. The total mass of the sled, man, and rock is 94.0 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.270 kg and the man can throw it with a speed of 15.5 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Determine the speed of the sled (in m/s) if the man throws the rock forward (i.e., in the direction the sled is moving). m/s Determine the speed of the sled (in m/s) if the man throws the rock directly backward. m/s
