Chapter 8, Problem 17CQ
Mixed-pair ice skaters performing in a show are standing motionless at arms length just before starting a routine. They reach out, clasp hands, and pull themselves together by only using their arms. Assuming there is no friction between the blades of their skates and the ice, what is their velocity after their bodies meet?

A 50.0-kg boy and his 41.0-kg sister, both wearing roffer blades, face each other at rest. The girl pushes the boy hard, sending him backward with a velocity 3.80 m/s toward the west , ignore friction.
(a) Describe the subsequent motion of the girl. i ) She will move east, directly away from her brother with a speed 6.53 m/s.ii ) She will move east, directly away from her brother with a speed 1.9 m/s.iii ) She will move west, in the same direction as her brother, with a speed 3.80m/s.iv ) She will move east, directly away from her brother with a speed 4.63 m/s.
A father (mF = 90 kg) and his daughter (mD= 42 kg) stand on a flat frozen lake of negligible friction. They hold a 12 m long rope stretched between them. The father and daughter then pull the rope to bring them together. If the father is initially standing at the origin, how far from the origin will they meet?
A 1400 kg car moving at 21 m/s runs into a 1200 kg car mobing in the same direction at 14 m/s. The two Cars lock together, and both drivers inmediately apply their brakes. If the cars comes to rest in 18 m, what is the coefficient of friction between the car's tires and the road?
