Romeo (75.0 kg) entertains Juliet (57.0 kg) by playing his guitar from the rear of their boat at rest in still water, 2.70 m away from Juliet, who is in the front of the boat. After the serenade, Juliet carefully moves to the rear of the boat (away from shore) to plant a kiss on Romeo's cheek. (a) How far (in m) does the 85.0 kg boat move toward the shore it is facing? (b) What If? If the lovers both walk toward each other and meet at the center of the boat, how far (in m) and in what direction does the boat now move? magnitude direction |---Select--

A woman weighing 57.1 kg stands at one end of a 120-kg raft that is 6.00 m long. The other end of the raft is 0.500 m from a pier. So, before the woman moves, she is at a total distance of 6.50 m away from the pier. The woman walks toward the pier until she gets to the other end of the uniform raft and stops there. What is the distance between the uniform raft and the pier?

A fireworks rocket is launched vertically into the night sky with an initial speed of 41.6 m/s . The rocket coasts after being launched, then explodes and breaks into two pieces of equal mass 2.20 s later. If each piece follows a trajectory that is initially at 43.0 degrees to the vertical, what was their speed immediately after the explosion? What is the velocity of the rocket's center of mass before the explosion? What is the velocity of the rocket's center of mass after the explosion? What is the acceleration of the rocket's center of mass before the explosion? What is the acceleration of the rocket's center of mass after the explosion?
An 80.0-kg astronaut is working on the engines of his ship, which is drifting through space with a constant velocity. The astronaut, wishing to get a better view of the Universe, pushes against the ship and much later finds himself 30.0 m behind the ship. Without a thruster, the only way to return to the ship is to throw his 0.500-kg wrench directly away from the ship. If he throws the wrench with a speed of 20.0 m/s relative to the ship, how long does it take the astronaut to reach the ship?
