Two blocks are free to slide along the frictionless wooden track shown below. The block of mass m. = 4.91 kg is released from the position shown, at height h = 5.00 m above the flat part of the track. Protruding from its front end is the north pole of a strong magnet, which repels the north pole of an identical magnet embedded in the back end of the block of mass m2 10.7 kg, initially at rest. The two blocks never touch. Calculate the maximum height to which m₁ rises after the = elastic collision. m m h m2 i
A person with mass m1 = 59 kg stands at the left end of a uniform beam with mass m2 = 106 kg and a length L = 3.4 m. Another person with mass m3 = 53 kg stands on the far right end of the beam and holds a medicine ball with mass m4 = 12 kg (assume that the medicine ball is at the far right end of the beam as well). Let the origin of our coordinate system be the left end of the original position of the beam as shown in the drawing. Assume there is no friction between the beam and floor. 1) What is the new x-position of the person at the left end of the beam? (How far did the beam move when the ball was throw from person to person?) 2) To return the medicine ball to the other person, both people walk to the center of the beam. At what x-position do they end up?
A rod of length 7.4 m and negligible mass connects two very small objects at its ends. The mass of one object is 4.76 kg and the mass of the other is m2. The center of mass of this system is on the rod a distance 5.4 m from the 4.76-kg mass object. What is the mass of the other object? m₂ = m2 kg
A hand-held shopping basket 62.0 cm long has a 1.86 kg carton of milk at one end, and a 0.722 kg box of cereal at the other end. Where should a 1.70 kg container of orange juice be placed so that the basket balances at its center?
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
As shown in the figure below, cars #1 and #2 are sliding across a horizontal frictionless surface. p (kg. m/s) The cars are equipped with a coupling arrangement similar to the one on railroad cars. Car #1 overtakes car #2 and they have a totally inelastic collision and become coupled together. You know the mass of each car; m₁ 10.0 kg and m₂ = 46.0 kg. In addition, you are provided with the following graph, which shows the momentum of car #1 before, during and after the collision. 100 Dzi 40 m₂ Determine the velocity (in m/s) of car #2 before the collision. m/s t (s)

You are about to do a back squat. You place a 20 kg plate on one end of the bar and mistakenly place a 40 kg plate on the other end of the bar. The bar is 2 m long and has a mass of 20 kg without the plates on it. The 20 kg plate is located 0.4 m from the left end of the bar and the 40 kg plate is located 0.4 m from the right end of the bar. How far (m) from the right end of the bar is the center of gravity located?
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? (c) Include a diagram of each of the situations. [Diagram 3 pts.]
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.
