Two 18.7 kg ice sleds are placed a short distance apart, one directly behind the other, as shown in figure (a). A 2.39 kg cat, standing on one sled, jumps across to the other and immediately back to the first. Both jumps are made at a speed of 4.19 m/s relative to the ice. v=? (a) (a) v=0 v = ? v = ? (b) (b) v=? Determine the final speed of the left sled. Express your answer in m/s, to at least two digits after the decimal place. plz use 9.8 as gravity plz help

Two balls are about to collide. Ball 1 has a mass of 14kg, and is moving [down] at an unknown speed. Ball 2 is 9kg and is moving [up] at a speed of 12m/s. After they collide, ball 1 moves with a velocity of 10m/s [80° Up of right]. Ball 2 moves with an unknown velocity [60° down of left]. An image has been added to help picture the situation. What is the initial velocity of ball 1?
Two objects (m, = 4.50 kg and m, = 3.30 kg) are connected by a light string passing over a light, frictionless pulley as in the figure below. The 4.50-kg object is released from rest at a point h = 4.00 m above the table. (a) Determine the speed of each object when the two pass each other. m/s (b) Determine the speed of each object at the moment the 4.50-kg object hits the table. m/s (c) How much higher does the 3.30-kg object travel after the 4.50-kg object hits the table?

A 6.0 ✕ 104 kg space probe is traveling at a speed of 12000 m/s through deep space. Retrorockets are fired along the line of motion to reduce the probe's speed. The retrorockets generate a force of 3.0 ✕ 105 N over a distance of 2400 km. What is the final speed of the probe? m/s
An explosion breaks a rock into three parts in a horizontal plane. Two of them go off at right angles to each other. The first part of mass 1 kg moves with a speed of 12 ms1 and the second part of mass 2 kg moves with 8 ms-1 speed. If the third part files off with 4 ms- speed, then its mass is?
Our brave astronaut Ms. Rose Noneck is at rest spacewalking 9.3 m away from her spaceship when her jetpack runs out of electricity (powered by TCC?). And worst – she is down to 60 seconds of oxygen left – there's plenty in her spaceship as well as her delicious lunch of baba ganoush. She remembers Prof. P's class and throws her 23.6 kg jetpack in the opposite direction of her spaceship at 1.4 m/s. Her mass is 55 kg. Will she make it back to her spaceship before she runs out of air? Convince me with numbers - tell me how long in seconds it takes for her to get back. Will we be seeing her in Exam 4? Or is it the end for her?

Two bumper cars at the county fair are sliding toward one another (see figure below). Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.62 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 60.0° south of west at 10.00 m/s. After they collide, bumper car 1 is observed to be traveling to the west with a speed of 3.24 m/s. Friction is negligible between the cars and the ground. (a) If the masses of bumper cars 1 and 2 are 588 kg and 633 kg respectively, what is the velocity of bumper car 2 immediately after the collision? (Express your answer in vector form. Enter your answer to at least three significant figures.) (b) What is the kinetic energy lost in the collision?
