Kramer goes bowling and decides to employ the force of gravity to "pick up a spare." He rolls the 6.50 kg bowling ball very slowly so that it comes to rest a center-to-center distance of 0.245 m from the one remaining 2.00 kg bowling pin. Treat both the ball and the pin as point objects, and determine the magnitude of the force of gravity ?⃗ grav between them.
4. A fisherman in a boat catches a shark with a harpoon. The shark struggles for a while and then becomes limp when at a distance of 300 m from the boat. The fisherman pulls the shark all the way to the boat by the rope attached to the harpoon. During this operation, the boat (initially at rest) moves 45 m in the direction of the shark. The mass of the boat is 5400 kg. What is the mass of the shark? Pretend that the water exerts no friction. (Hint: Friction is ignored, so there are no external forces, and the center of mass of the system (the shark and boat) should not move at all.) A) 953 kg B) 477 kg C) 318 kg from the left and of
There are two particles (1 and 2) that are moving around in space. The mass of particle 1 is 2.8 kg and the mass ofparticle 2 is 1.96 kg. The particles are isolated so that only the forces between the particles are significant. The forcethat 2 exerts on 1 is given by:~F21(t) = Fat ˆi + Fbt3 ˆjThe initial time is ti = 4.1 s and the final time is tf = 6.8 s.Use the following values for the parameters:Fa = -18.4 N/s , Fb = 11.2 N/s3, If the y component of the impulse from 1 on 2 is -5196 N s, what is the y component of the change in momentum forparticle 2?
A 2.4-kg cart is rolling along a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 1.3-kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts are loaded with strong magnets that cause them to attract one another. Thus, the speed of each cart increases. At a certain instant before the carts collide, the first cart's velocity is +4.0 m/s, and the second cart's velocity is -2.5 m/s. (a) What is the total momentum of the system of the two carts at this instant? (b) What was the velocity of the first cart when the second cart was still at rest? (a) Number (b) Number i Units Units
A 76.1 kg astronaut of holding a 12.3 kg tool pack while drifting at 10.6 m/s to the right. She throws the tool pack away so that it is drifting at 1.5 m/s to the left. How fast is she moving after the throw? Assume that they are out in deep space with no other forces acting on them.
My sister Crystal of mass M1=50kg is on an ice covered sidewalk with her dog Buster, who has mass M2=38kg. They are initially distanced d=5.00m apart. By pulling on the massless leash, my sister exerts a constant force F=30.00N on Buster, Buster slides towards her. How fast is Buster moving when he and my sister meet? (The leash is not rigid, so the distance can change between them. They also end at the same point, which means even if you cannot solve for their position, you can set them equal to one another)
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

1. Two astronauts in space are initially holding on to each other. One astronaut and his space suit have a combined mass of 136 kg, and the other astronaut and her space suit have a combined mass of 118 kg. They then push each other apart. How far has the female astronaut gone when the male astronaut has moved 10 m?(A
Two astronauts, one of mass 65 kg and the other 82 kg , are initially at rest together in outer space. They then push each other apart. How far apart are they when the lighter astronaut has moved 15 m ? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in Figure (a). They "push off" and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.42 m/s. If the boy weighs 718 N and the girl 450 N, what is the girl's velocity after they push off? (Consider the ice to be frictionless.)
A cosmic ray muon with mass mμ = 1.88 ✕ 10−28 kg impacting the Earth's atmosphere slows down in proportion to the amount of matter it passes through. One such particle, initially traveling at 2.42 ✕ 106 m/s in a straight line, decreases in speed to 1.60 ✕ 106 m/s over a distance of 1.10 km. (a) What is the magnitude of the force experienced by the muon? N(b) How does this force compare to the weight of the muon? |F| Fg =
