Two carts, of unknown inertias m, and m2, collide head-on on a low-friction track. Before the collision, which is elastic, Cart 1 is moving to the right at 14 m/s and Cart 2 is at rest. After the collision, Cart 1 is moving to the left at 5 m/s. a) If the positive direction is from left to right, what is the speed of Cart 2 after the collision? Do NOT use the info from the next part to find the answer. Hint: what kind of collision did the description say this is? What does that mean for the coefficient of restitution?

A 65 kg person running at 2.0 m/s jumps onto the skim board at right. The skim board is 50 cm wide and 120 cm long, with an area of 0.60 m². Part A Draw a sketch of this situation. Part B If the person jumps onto the board on sand with a coefficient of friction of f=0.50, what force will resist the forward movement of the board [N]? Recall the friction force is the normal force times the coefficient of friction. Part C Now assume the person jumps onto the board on a 0.50 cm film of fresh water at 30°C. Use Newton's law of viscosity to estimate the force resisting the forward movement of the board.
Two Blocks having mass m=11.0 kg are connected by a light string passing through two pulleys as shown. The block on the left is resting on an inclined plane of angle 0=45.0° . The pulleys and the planes on which the blocks are resting are frictionless. The blocks are released from rest and allowed to move freely. a. Draw the free body diamgrams for each block and then write down newton's second law of motion for each one separately. b. Find the acceleration of the blocks and the tension in the string.

Two ice skaters, with masses of 36.0 kg and 75.0 kg, are at the center of a 40.0 m diameter circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink. Part A If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 20.0 s , how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge? ΑΣΦ Submit Request Answer
