Chapter 8, Problem 22P
A 2 kg block is moving at 5 m/s along a frictionless table and collides with a second 2 kg block that is initially at rest. After the collision, the two blocks stick together and then slide up a 45° frictionless inclined plane, as shown in Figure 8.39. Calculate the maximum distance L that the two blocks travel up the incline.

Consider the blocks on the curved ramp as seen in the figure. The blocks have masses m₁ = 2.00 kg and m₂ = 3.60 kg, and are initially at rest. The blocks are allowed to slide down the ramp and they then undergo a head-on, elastic collision on the flat portion. Determine the heights (in
m) to which m₁ and m2 rise on the curved portion of the ramp after the collision. Assume the ramp is frictionless, and h 4.40 m.

A 3.04-kg steel ball strikes a massive wall at 10.0 m/s at an angle of 0 = 60.0° with the plane of the wall. It bounces off the wall with the same speed and angle (see the figure below). If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.234 s, what is the average force exerted by the wall on the
ball?

You are in the early stages of an internship at NASA. Your supervisor has asked you to analyze emergency procedures for extravehicular activity (EVA), when the astronauts leave the International Space Station (ISS) to do repairs to its exterior or perform other tasks. In particular, the
scenario you are studying is a failure of the manned-maneuvering unit (MMU), which is a nitrogen-propelled backpack that attaches to the astronaut's primary life support system (PLSS). In this scenario, the astronaut is floating directly away from the ISS and cannot use the failed MMU to
get back. Therefore, the emergency plan is to take off the MMU and throw it in a direction directly away from the ISS, an action that will hopefully cause the astronaut to reverse direction and float back to the station.
You have the following mass data provided to you: astronaut: 78.1 kg, spacesuit: 36.8 kg, MMU: 115 kg, PLSS: 145 kg. Based on tests performed by astronauts floating "weightless" inside the ISS, the most…
