Chapter 4, Problem 43P
Three ice skaters, numbered 1, 2, and 3, stand in a line, each with her hands on the shoulders of the skater in front. Skater 3, at the rear, pushes on skater 2. Identify all the action/reaction pairs of forces between the three skaters. Draw a free-body diagram for skater 2, in the middle. Assume the ice is frictionless.

- 2.62 Collision. The engineer of a passenger train traveling at 25.0 m/s sights a freight train whose caboose is 200 m ahead on the same track (Fig. P2.62). The freight train is traveling at 15.0 m/s in the same direction as the passenger train. The engineer of the passenger train immediately applies the brakes, causing a constant acceleration of 0.100 m/s² in a direction opposite to the train's velocity, while the freight train continues with constant speed. Take x = 0 at the location of the front of the passenger train when the engineer applies the brakes. (a) Will the cows nearby witness a collision? (b) If so, where will it take place? (c) On a single graph, sketch the positions of the front of the pas- senger train and the back of the freight train.arrow_forwardCan I get help with how to calculate total displacement?
