Two ice skaters face each other in an Olympics doubles figure skating event. Skater 1 has a mass of 40. kg and skater 2 has a mass of 55 kg. Skater 2 pushes skater 1 with a force of magnitude (F) so that skater 1 moves backward at a speed of 5.0 m/s. As a result of the push, the speed of skater 2 is: (note: ignore friction due to the skates on the ice) 3.6 m/s 11 m/s O2.6 m/s O 0 m/s
. In an experiment, you throw a rubber ball of mass m = 25.0 g onto a block of mass M = 250 g that is initially at rest at the edge of a table of height h = 0.98 m.

In the "before" part of the figure, car A (mass 1200 kg) is stopped at a traffic light when it is rear-ended by car B (mass 1300 kg).

A small (35 g) block is sliding toward the right along a table when it hits a larger (90 grams) block that was at rest. After the collision, the large block slides 72 cm to the right before coming to a rest, while the small block bounces off the large block, sliding 1.5 m to the left before stopping. The somewhat rough table has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.42. What is the velocity of the small block just before it hits the larger block?
