Two astronauts, facing each other, are working on a satellite while tethered to a space shuttle. If one of the astronauts made an exceptionally risky move and tossed a small tool (only one-tenth the mass of the astronauts) to the other astronaut, what would happen if that astronaut caught the tool? Imagine at this moment that neither astronaut is directly touching the satellite or shuttle. O The astronaut throwing the tool would remain still but the astronaut that catches the tool would move backwards as a result of catching it. O The astronaut throwing the tool would start to move in the direction the tool is thrown but the astronaut catching the tool would remain still. O Both astronauts will begin to move backwards as a result of this throw and catch. O Since the mass of the tool is so small, the astronauts will not be affected by it; this situation would be the same as if they were working on Earth.

Four railroad cars, each of mass 2.50 x 104 kg, are coupled together and coasting along horizontal tracks at speed vi toward the south. A very strong but foolish movie actor, riding on the second car, uncouples the front car and gives it a big push, increasing its speed to 4.00 m/s southward. The remaining three cars continue moving south, now at 2.00 m/s. (a) Find the initial speed of the four cars. (b) By how much did the potential energy within the body of the actor change?
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 8.10 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on collision. Each driver has mass 73.0 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 0.130 s,…
A 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 139-kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat, frictionless surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity of 1.47 m/s to the right relative to the plank. (Let the direction the girl is moving in be positive. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (a) What is her velocity relative to the surface of ice? = ____ m/s (b) What is the velocity of the plank relative to the surface of ice? = _____ m/s

A tennis player receives a shot with the ball (m = 0.060 kg) travelling horizontally at 50.0 m/s and returns the shot with the ball travelling horizontally at 40.o m/s. If the racquet was in contact with the ball for 0.015 seconds, find the force of the racquet on the ball.

A thruster fires for 2.0 min, exerting a continuous force of 25 kN on the spacecraft in a direction opposite the spacecraft’s motion. Calculate the initial momentum and the final momentum of the spacecraft.

Suppose you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. The mass of the spacecraft is 3.2 × 104 kg (about 32 tons). The rocket engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with a constant velocity of km/s. As you pass the location km you briefly fire side thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of N for 23.0 s. The ejected gases have a mass that is small compared to the mass of the spacecraft. You then continue coasting with the rocket engines turned off. Where are you an hour later? (Think about what approximations or simplifying assumptions you made in your analysis. Also think about the choice of system: what are the surroundings that exert external forces on your system?) 7₁ = m
A 7.500 E+3-kg truck moving east at 10.3 m/s collides with a 2.500 E+3-kg car moving west at 35.0 m/s. The collision takes place over a time interval of 0.5 s. The car and the truck stick together after the collision. Find the force (in N) of the car on the truck during the collision. Call this force positive if it points to the east, and negative if it points to the west. (Could you give an explanation on how to transfer/ convert E +3)
