Two rail cars roll without friction on a track. The rail cars have different masses. The heavier car is at rest. The lighter car is moving with speed v, hits the heavier car, and sticks to it. The combined two-car system then moves with speed v/5. What is the ratio of masses of the two cars? Ratio = mass of heavier car / mass of lighter car.
Two people on skates, one with a mass of 60 kg and the other with a mass of 40 kg, stand on ice (frictionless surface) holding a 10 m pole (negligible mass). The skaters pull themselves from the end of the pole until they meet. How far does the 40 kg skater move.
Fred Flintstone’s club–ax is made up of two parts: an uniform 2.5 kg stick and a symmetrical 8 kg stone attached to the end of the stick. The dimensions of the club-ax are shown in the figure. How far is the center of mass from the handle end of the club-ax? Express your answer in cm.
The drawing shows a human figure approximately in a sitting position. For the purposes of this problem, there are three parts to the figure, and the center of mass of each one is shown in the drawing. These parts are: (1) the torso, neck, and head (total mass = 44.7 kg) with a center of mass located on the y axis at a point 0.353 m above the origin, (2) the upper legs (mass = 18.5 kg) with a center of mass located on the x axis at a point 0.157 m to the right of the origin, and (3) the lower legs and feet (total mass = 10.1 kg) with a center of mass located 0.490 to the right of and 0.261 m below the origin. Find the (a) x coordinate and (b) the y coordinate of the center of mass of the human figure. Note that the mass of the arms and hands (approximately 12% of the whole-body mass) has been ignored to simplify the drawing. +x
John's mass is 94.7 kg, and Barbara's is 54.8 kg. He is standing on the x axis at xj = +9.14 m, while she is standing on the x axis at x³ = +2.05 m. They switch positions. How far and in which direction does their center of mass move as a result of the switch? Distance moved by center of mass = i
