There are two curling stones sitting on an icy surface (fricionless). Call one the target and one the projectile. The projectile is initially moving along the x-axis towards the +x-direction, and the target is initially stationary. Each curling stone has a mass of 15.6 kg. The moving stone (projectile) has an initial velocity of 3.94 m/s and collides with the stationary stone (target) "dead center." The projectile stone comes to a rest where the target stone was, but the target stone breaks apart into two chunks with a total mass of 15.6 kg. One chunk has a mass of 4.18, and slides with a velocity of 5.58 m/s with a -90° angle relative to the +x direction. What is the velocity of the second chunk of curling stone in m/s?

The physics department has called upon students to help set up a movie car chase and collision scene. The director has a 700 kg car traveling due East at 34 m/s. It will collide with an SUV, weighing 2800 kg, that is traveling due North. The vehicles will stick together after impact and head directly toward a drone that is carrying a camera. If the drone is flying at a 29 degree angle with respect to North (i.e., 29 degrees East of North), how fast, in m/s, does the SUV need to be going to get the exact shot the director wants?
Kyle, a 80.0 kg football player, leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.430 kg ball precisely at the peak of his jump, when he is 0.437 m off the ground. He hits the ground 0.0358 m away from where he leapt. If the ball was moving horizontally when it was caught, how fast u was the ball traveling? Vs m/s
Two spheres collide on a horizontal surface (all velocities, before and after the collision, are in the x-y plane). Throughout this problem, assume that all forces aside from those exerted by the spheres themselves are negligible (at least in comparison). Sphere A has a mass of 0.65 grams. It has an initial speed of 6.0 m/s and an initial velocity that is oriented at an angle of θ A i = 28 degrees below the x-axis. Sphere B has a mass of 0.45 grams. It has an initial speed of 6.5 m/s and an initial velocity that is oriented at an angle of θ B i = 35 degrees above the x-axis. After the collision, sphere A has a speed of 3.5 m/s and a velocity that is directed at an angle of θ A f = 16 degrees above the x-axis. What is the final speed, in units of meters per second, of sphere B?
A 20.0-kg toboggan with 58.3-kg driver is sliding down a frictionless chute directed θ = 27.6° below the horizontal at 7.70 m/s when a 55.0-kg woman drops from a tree limb straight down behind the driver. If she drops through a vertical displacement of 2.00 m, what is the subsequent velocity of the toboggan immediately after impact?
A 7.0 g bullet is fired into a 1.5 kg block and becomes embedded in the block. After the collision, the block slides 2.80 m up an incline of 30 degrees with a surface that has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.25. How fast was the bullet traveling prior to striking the block?
Shot put is a track and field event in which a heavy spherical ball (the "shot") is thrown (or "put", using the sport's terminology) as far as possible. A "shot" with mass of 6.6 kg is "put" into the air. Its initial speed is 9.6 m/s, directed at an angle 54 degrees above the horizontal. After 0.16 seconds, what is the horizontal component of the ball's velocity (in m/s)?
A 375 gram basketball is bounced off of a wooden board, as shown below. It is moving straight down at a speed of 4.75 m/s just before hitting the board, and it is moving with a speed of 3.75 m/s at an angle of 27.5 degrees above the horizontal just after. The ball is in contact with the board for a total of 68.5 milliseconds (ms). A)Find the average force that the board exerts on the ball during the bounce. Give the magnitude of the force in units of Newtons. Give the direction of the force as an angle from the x-axis, in degrees. B) How much kinetic energy is lost as a result of the ball hitting the board? Give your answer in Joule
A 3.12-kg steel ball strikes a massive wall at 10.0 m/s at an angle of ? = 60.0° with the plane of the wall. It bounces off the wall with the same speed and angle (see the figure below). If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.206 s, what is the average force exerted by the wall on the ball? magnitude N direction
The fisherman's mass is 70 kg, and the rowboat's is 119 kg. The fisherman and rowboat are initially at rest when the fisherman throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally to the right with a speed of vi = 4.7 m/s. What is the velocity of the rowboat after the package is thrown? Neglect any resistance force from the water. (Give the magnitude in m/s, and select the correct direction from the options given.)

The mass of a particular skateboard plus its rider is m, = 76.6 kg, and the skateboarder is holding a book with mass mo = 3.27 kg. Initially atrest, the skateboarder tosses the textbook with a velocity of vb = 4.44 m/s at an angle 0 = 23.3° above the horizontal, and the book is caught by a friend.
An astronaut finds herself in a predicament in which she has become untethered from her shuttle. She figures that she could get back to her shuttle by throwing one of three objects she possesses in the opposite direction of the shuttle. The masses of the objects are 5.4 kg, 7.9 kg, and 10.1 kg, respectively. She is able to throw the first object with a speed of 15.00 m/s, the second with a speed of 14.2 m/s, and the third with a speed of 7.0 m/s. If the mass of the astronaut and her remaining gear is 75.0 kg, determine the final speed of the astronaut with respect to the shuttle if she were to throw each object successively, starting with the least massive and ending with the most massive. Assume that the speeds described are those measured in the rest frame of the astronaut.
You throw up a basketball vertically into the air, and your friend shoots an arrow horizontally with speed vi at top of the basketball's trajectory where it momentarily comes to rest. The arrow passes through center-of-mass of the ball. Assuming the collision takes place over a short time ∆t, what is the average force of the arrow on the ball during the collision, expressed in terms of m (mass arrow), M (mass ball), ∆t, and vi ?
