Captain America, while standing still on frictionless ice, throws his shield to the right, as shown below. His shield, which has a mass of 15.0kg, leave Cap’s hand at 8.33 m/s. If Captain America has a mass of 99.8kg, at what velocity does Captain America travel at after the throw? Include sign for direction, with to the right as positive.

Albert and his friend Isaac are standing in the middle of a sheet of ice in the student parking lot when they decide to give each other a push. If Albert has a mass of 73.6 kg and moves to the right at 1.30 m/s after the push, how fast will Isaac move if his mass is 51.8 kg? m/s
A block of mass m1 = 14 kg slides along a horizontal surface (with friction, μk = 0.27) a distance d = 2.5 m before striking a second block of mass m2 = 8.25 kg. The first block has an initial velocity of v = 9.75 m/s. Assuming that block one stops after it collides with block two, what is block two's velocity after impact in m/s? How far does block two travel, d2 in meters, before coming to rest after the collision?
an iron ball with a mass of 67.5 kg is traveling with an initial velocity of 20.5 m/s. the ball is hit with a hammer, which remains in contact with the ball for 0.20 sec. how much force must the hammer hit the ball with to cause it to change directions?
V:00 a 46 For testing, a jetski coming in at 34.1 m/s collides with a tree and stops in around 1 second. A dummy passenger weighing 1481.3 N is protected by an airbagthat slows its velocity in 1.7 s. What is the magnitude of average force does the dummy experience during the collision? (N) Answer: 3028.86 The correct answer is: 3028.86
A loaded gun is dropped on a frozen lake. The gun fires, with the bullet going horizontally in one direction and the qun sliding on the ice in the other direction. The bullet's mass is 0.04 kg, and its speed is 305 m/s. If the gun's mass is 2.1 kg, what is its speed (in m/s)? m/s
Kaya, a crew member on an interplanetary space ship, is on a spacewalk. She realizes that her ship is moving away from her at 0.5 m/s. She and her spacesuit have a total mass of 95 kg. Her space suit includes a 15 kg backpack, which is included in the 95 kg total mass.a). What is the minimum velocity she will have to throw the backpack so that she can gain enough velocity to eventually catch up with the ship? b). Kaya applies an average force of 400 N to the backpack for 0.05 seconds. Will Kaya make it back to the ship? If so, determine how much time it will take for her to reach the ship. If not, determine how much more force she would need to apply to make it back.
A 129-kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.90 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1900-kg space capsule. Use the reference frame in which the capsule is at rest before the push. What is the velocity of the space capsule after the push in the reference frame? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the direction of the velocity is in the direction of the velocity of the astronaut and negative value if the direction of the velocity is in the direction opposite to the velocity of the astronaut.
As a member of CSU's golf team, Jesse has access to the golf range on University Avenue for practice most days. Jesse is interested in understanding the forces involved, in order to try and improve his game. He has a golf ball of mass 0.050 kg, and measures that for one stroke, the ball has a velocity of 102 m/s immediately after being struck. If the club and ball were in contact for 0.59 ms, what is the average force Jesse exerted on the ball? 8600 N 9700 N 6700 N 7500 N
