Chapter 14.1, Problem 14.3P
An airline employee tosses two suitcases with weights of 30 Ib and 40 Ib, respectively, onto a 50-Ib baggage carrier in rapid succession. Knowing that the carrier is initially at rest and that the employee imparts a 9-ft/s horizontal velocity to the 30-Ib suitcase and 6-ft/s horizontal velocity to the 40-Ib suitcase, determine the final velocity of the baggage carrier if the first suitcase tossed onto the carrier is (a) the 30-Ib suitcase, (b) the 40-Ib suitcase.

A 35,000 Mg ocean liner has an initial velocity of 4 km/h. Neglecting the frictional resistance of the water,
determine the time required to bring the liner to rest by using a single tugboat which exerts a constant force of
150 kN.
A 1.4-kg model rocket is launched vertically from rest with a constant thrust of 25 N until the rocket reaches an altitude of 15 m and the thrust ends. Neglecting air resistance, determine (a) the speed of the rocket when the thrust ends, (b) the maximum height reached by the rocket, (c) the speed of the rocket when it returns to the ground.
A 0.0102-kg bullet is fired straight up at a falling wooden block that has a mass of 3.47 kg. The bullet has a speed of 748 m/s when it
strikes the block. The block originally was dropped from rest from the top of a building and had been falling for a time t when the
collision with the bullet occurs. As a result of the collision, the block (with the bullet in it) reverses direction, rises, and comes to a
momentary halt at the top of the building. Find the time t.
