Vahé and Nicolás, both with mass M, are playing catch with a football of mass m on the frictionless surface of a frozen pond. Since they're physics professors and not professional football players, they can only throw the football with a speed vo relative to themselves. All of your answers below should be only in terms of m, M, and vo- (a) Relative to a stationary observer on the surface of the pond, what is the speed v, with which the football is moving after it is Vahé throws the ball to his right, toward Nicolás. M thrown? (b) Nicolás catches the ball. What is the speed v2 with which Nicolás and the ball are moving after he catches the ball?

Suppose I stand on an ideal skateboard (so there is no friction with the floor) and start from rest when I push on a wall with a known force, I measure my speed after one second. Which of the following is true? (Only one is completely true.) My mass is calculable from the speed because I know the acceleration due to gravity. The speed and time give acceleration, but from this, I don't know the force on me so I cannot measure my mass. Not only can this information be used to calculate my mass; I don't even need to measure the speed to get it. Since the wall pushes back on me with the same magnitude force, knowing the speed and time gives me acceleration, so I can calculate my mass. Since the wall pushes back on me with the same magnitude force, if I had measured the distance travelled in that second instead of the speed, then I could calculate my mass, but from this information I cannot. This could almost be used to…
Two asteroids of equal mass in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter collide with a glancing blow. Asteroid A, which was initially traveling at vA1 = 40.0 m/s with respect to an inertial frame in which asteroid B was at rest, is deflected 30.0 from its original direction, while asteroid B travels at 45.0 to the original direction of A, as shown in (Figure 1). Find the speed of asteroids A and B after the collision. What fraction of the original kinetic energy of asteroid A dissipates during this collision?
An observer is stationary in the inertial system S. A car is moving in the x-direction with speed v = c / √2 with respect to the observer in S. The driver of the car is stationary with respect to the car, and thus the driver is in a different inertial frame S′. The passenger of the car takes out a baseball, opens the sunroof of the car and throws out the ball with a velocity vB =c/√2. If the baseball is thrown in the minus x-direction (opposite to the direction the car is moving), what is the speed of the baseball as seen by the observer in S?
Space probes may be separated from their launchers by exploding bolts. (They bolt away from one another.) Suppose a 5600 kg satellite uses this method to separate from the 1800 kg remains of its launcher, and that 7000 J of kinetic energy is supplied to the two parts. What are their subsequent velocities (in m/s) using the frame of reference in which they were at rest before separation? (Assume the final velocity of the satellite is in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) Vsatellite m/s Viauncher m/s
Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time, when they're not sleeping or eating, joyfully scampering about on the cage's floor. Bryce tracks his mice's health diligently and just now recorded their masses as 0.0133 kg, 0.0223 kg, 0.0245 kg, and 0.0227 kg. At this very instant, the x- and y-components of the mice's velocities are, respectively, (0.637 m/s, –0.173 m/s), (–0.595 m/s, –0.435 m/s), (0.917 m/s, 0.933 m/s), and (-0.725 m/s, 0.787 m/s). Calculate the x- and y-components of Bryce's mice's total momentum, px and py. Px = kg-m/s Py = kg-m/s & TOOLS x10

After collision, the first mass is stopped completely while the second one splits into two particles each of mass m, which move at angle 45° with respect to the original direction. The speed of each of the moving particle will be (a) √2 v (d) 2√√2 v (b) V √2 V (Ⓒ) (2√2)

An atomic nucleus suddenly bursts apart (fission) into two pieces. Piece A with mass ma travels to the left with Piece B with mass mg travels to the right with speed vB. Show the velocity of piece B in terms of a speed of VA. ma, mB and VA. Solution: Consider that the nucleus is not acted by an external force. Thus, momentum is conserved, so: PBf + PAf = 0 Substituting the expression for momentum results to mBV mAV = 0 Deriving the expression for the velocity of piece B results to V =(mA/m VA
