Two identical twins hold on to a rope, one at each end, on a smooth, frictionless ice surface. They skate in a circle about the center of the rope (the center of mass of the two-body system) and perpendicular to the ice. The mass of each twin is 83.0 kg. The rope of negligible mass is 3.0 m long and they move at a speed of 4.80 m/s. center of mass (a) What is the magnitude, in kg • m2/s, of the angular momentum of the system comprised of the two twins? | kg • m²/s (b) They now pull on the rope and move closer to each other so that the rope between them is now half as long. Determine the speed, in m/s, with which they move now. m/s (c) The two twins have to do work in order to move closer to each other. How much work, in joules, did they do?

Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 1.92-kg object is at +2.97 m, a 3.06-kg object is at +2.57 m, a 2.57-kg object is at the origin, and a 4.01-kg object is at -0.505 m. Where is the center of mass of these objects? x = y = 3 3
Three ice skaters meet at the center of a rink and each stands at rest facing the center, within arm's reach of the other two. On a signal, each skater pushes himself away from the other two across the frictionless ice. After the push, skater A with mass mA = 90.0 kg moves in the negative y-direction at 2.50 m/s and skater B with mass mB = 80.0 kg moves in the negative x-direction at 4.00 m/s. Find the x- and y-components of the 70.0 kg skater C's velocity (in m/s) after the push. HINT Vcx V CY = m/s m/s

A 95.0 kg football player is standing on a sheet of ice, i.e., there is negligible friction between their feet and the ground. A 0.400 kg football is travelling horizontally at 12.0 m/s towards the football player just before they try to catch the ball. (a) If they successfully catch the ball, then how fast does the player and the ball move horizontally after it is caught? (b) If the ball hits the player and bounces off of their chest moving at 8.50 m/s in the opposite direction, then what is the speed of the player after the ball bounces off of their chest?

A 1500 kg sedan goes through a wide intersection traveling from north to south when it is hit by a 2200 kg SUV traveling from east to west. The two cars become enmeshed due to the impact and slide as one thereafter. On-the-scene measurements show that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires of these cars and the pavement is 0.75, and the cars slide to a halt at a point 5.39 m west and 6.43 m south of the impact point. How fast was each car traveling just before the collision?
