Bob and Tom take a sled weighing 10 N to a frozen pond. The sled is initially at rest on the ice. Bob who weighs 490 N runs at 2 metres per second and jumps on the sled. A few seconds later, Tom who weighs 540N runs at 4 metres per second and jumps on the sled with Bob. Keep all values to 3 decimal places. A)What is the velocity of the sled after Bob jumps on to it? B)What is the velocity of the sled after Tom jumps on it?
Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, the first
having a mass of 130,000 kg and a velocity of 0.300 m/s, and the second having a mass of 115,000 kg and a velocity of -0.120 m/s. (The
minus indicates direction of motion.) What is their final velocity (in m/s)?
