(a) Cynthia is in a boat heading due east at 15 m/s and is reading a book. She then finishes the book and throws her book off the back of the boat at a speed of 6 m/s due west. What is the boat’s speed after Cynthia throws the book if the book as a mass of 4 kg and Cynthia and the boat combined have a mass of 700 kg? (b) To demonstrate your ability to carry out deductive reasoning in the context of PC 141, determine the how the velocity of the boat after Cynthia throws the book would change if the book’s mass triples. Does your answer in question #2 above seem reasonable? Briefly explain why or why not?

Two sumo wrestlers are in a match and at the start, they both lunge at each other. When they hit each other they miraculously come to a stand still. The first wrestler had a mass of 196 kg and was traveling at a velocity of 2.3 m/s at the instance of the collision. a) If the second wrestler was traveling at 2.7 m/s at the moment of the collision, what was his mass in kg?
Problem-3: A ball of mass 200 gram strikes a wall perpendicular to its surface at a speed of 10 m/s and rebounds back at the speed of 5 m/s. It is in contact with the wall for 2 milli-sec. Find the average force exerted by the wall on the ball.
In a very busy off-campus eatery one chef sends a 221 g broccoli-tomato-pickle-onion-mushroom pizza sliding down the counter from left to right at 1.59 m/s. Almost simultaneously, the other chef launches a 315 g veggieburger (with everything, but hold the horseradish) along the same counter from right to left at 2.27 m/s. The two delicacies collide head on at the given speeds. The counter is practically friction free due to accumulated grease. The two delicacies merge into a single, unbelievably savory serving. In what direction does the merged meal move, if it moves at all? a. to the right b. to the left c. does not move At what speed does it move in m/s? (positive number).
