Two children are playing in the snow. One child (25.4kg) sleds down a hill reaching a speed of 6.7 m/s at the bottom. She is on a collision course for the second child (27kg) who has realized this and is trying to run away in the same direction. However, this child only reaches a speed on 1.3m/s before they collide. Thankfully, the sled is big enough to fit both children and after the collision they move together on the sled. a. What was the height of the hill that the first child sled down? Show your work.

You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 50.1 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 1.97 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.380 seconds later. You can ignore air resistance. Based on the outcome of this experiment, when you step on the scale provided for you, what weight will it register for your body? 684 N 911 N 1,367 N 491.5 N
Gayle runs at a speed of 3.65 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 48.0 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.45 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg. m/s

a 600 gram banana sliding north on a frictionless table at 2.5 meters per second bounces of a 400 gram kiwi fruit that is initially at rest , after colliding the banana continues moving north at 0.5 meters per second. At the North edge of the track is a frictionless inclined ramp which the kiwi fruit slides up to then the kiwi comes back down the ramp , without losing energy , and will now be moving south , the kiwi will catch up and hit the banana again. How much momentum did the kiwi have just before the sticky collision ? how much just after ? how much did the kiwis momentum change ?

A railroad freight car of mass 2.84 x 10ª kg collides with a stationary caboose car. They couple together, and 36.0% of the initial kinetic energy is transferred to thermal energy, sound, vibrations, and so on. Find the mass of the caboose. Number i Units
a 600 gram banana sliding north on a frictionless table at 2.5 meters per second bounces of a 400 gram kiwi fruit that is initially at rest , after colliding the banana continues moving north at 0.5 meters per second. At the North edge of the track is a frictionless inclined ramp which the kiwi fruit slides up to then the kiwi comes back down the ramp , without losing energy , and will now be moving south , the kiwi will catch up and hit the banana again. If the last collision took 20 milliseconds , what was the average force exerted by the banana on the kiwi during the collision (magnitude and direction ) ? by the kiwi on the banana?
