The driver of a car (1100 kg) traveling at 30 m/s on dry concrete sees a deer in the distance and slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. How far does the car travel before stopping?
The best way to get an old-fashioned wooden sled (which can be quite heavy) going on the snow is to get a good running start and then jump on the sled. Bailey is doing just that, running at 4.0 m/s and launching her 26 kg body onto the 5.9 kg sled. How fast is the sled moving just after she lands on it?
1 2500kg railroad car moving with a speed of 3 m/s is linked with a 3500 kg railroad car moving away from the first car with a speed by 1 m/s. Both are moving along a straight track. Find the speed of the two cars just after they link up.

- A space probe, initially at rest, undergoes an internal mechanical malfunction and breaks into three pieces. One piece of mass ml = 48.0 kg travels in the positive x-direction at 12.0 m/s, and a second piece of mass m2 = 62.0 kg travels in the xy-plane at an angle of 105 at 15.0 m/s. The third piece has mass m3 = 112 kg. (a) Sketch a diagram of the situation, labeling the different masses and their velocities, (b) Write the general expression for conservation of momentum in the x- and y-directions in terms of m1, m2, m3, v1, v2 and v3 and the sines and cosines of the angles, taking to be the unknown angle, (c) Calculate the final x-components of the momenta of m1 and m2. (d) Calculate the final y-components of the momenta of m1 and m2. (e) Substitute the known momentum components into the general equations of momentum for the x- and y-directions, along with the known mass m3. (f) Solve the two momentum equations for v3 cos and v3 sin , respectively, and use the identity cos2 + sin2 = 1 to obtain v3.

- A rocket has total mass Mi = 360 kg, including Mfuel = 330 kg of fuel and oxidizer. In interstellar space, it starts from rest at the position x = 0, turns on its engine at time t = 0, and puts out exhaust with relative speed ve = 1 500 m/s at the constant rate k = 2.50 kg/s. The fuel will last for a burn time of Tb = Mfuel/k = 330 kg/(2.5 kg/s) = 132 s.
