Jonathan and Jane are sitting in a sleigh that is at rest on frictionless ice. Jonathan’s weight is 800 N, Jane’s weight is 600 N, and that of the sleigh is 1000 N. They see a poisonous spider on the floor of the sleigh and immediately jump off. Jonathan jumps to the left with a velocity of 5.00 m/s at 30.0° above the horizontal (relative to the ice), and Jane jumps to the right at 7.00 m/s at 36.9° above the horizontal (relative to the ice). Calculate the sleigh’s horizontal velocity (magnitude and direction) after they jump out.

An archer shoots an 18.0-gram arrow at a 43.0-gram target on a wall 32.0 m high. If the arrow is shot at a velocity of v0 = 60.0 m/s, the speed of the arrow is 54.5 m/s when it reaches the target. If the arrow becomes embedded in the target and they both fly off the wall together, at what speed will they leave the wall? Should I use 60.0 m/s in the equation or 54.5 m/s: V’=(0.018)(60.0m/s)/ (0.061) -or- V’=(0.018)(54.5m/s)/ (0.061)
A baseball with mass of 0.16 kg is batted into the air. Its initial speed is 37.7 m/s, directed at an angle 30 degrees above the horizontal. After 0.10 seconds, what is the horizontal component of the ball's velocity (in m/s)?
Identical twins, each with mass 62.0 kg, are on ice skates and at rest on a frozen lake, which may be taken as frictionless. Twin A is carrying a backpack of mass 12.0 kg. She throws it horizontally at 2.80 m/s to Twin B. Neglecting any gravity effects, what are the subsequent speeds of Twin A and Twin B? Twin A m/s Twin B m/s
Kyle, a 95.0 kg football player, leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.430 kg ball precisely at the peak of his jump, when he is 0.538 meters off the ground. He hits the ground 0.0333 metersaway from where he leapt. If the ball was moving horizontally when it was caught, how fast was the ball traveling? ball's speed: ? m/s
A 75 kg fisherman in a 135 kg boat throws a pile of 0.80 kg rocks towards the shore. If he throws each rock with a speed of 15 m/s causing the boat to move, how many rocks must he throw per minute to maintain a constant average speed against a 5.0 N force of resistance?

The average thrust created by the first stage engine of a model rocket is 50N. The rocket has an average weight of 10N with a burn time of 2 seconds. The rocket is initially fired vertically upward. When the rocket reaches maximum height, a second engine is fired creating a horizontal velocity (only) of 50m/s. Where does the rocket land relative to its launch point? Assume it was launched on a horizontal plain.

A delivery person carries a stack of three boxes labeled 1, 2, and 3. Box 3 is on the bottom of the stack, and box 1 is on the top. The masses of boxes 1, 2, and 3 are mi = 1.5 kg, m2 = 2.5 kg, and m3 = 8.0 kg, respectively. The delivery person places the stack of boxes on an elevator floor, which then accelerates downward with a magnitude of a = 0.80 m/s². Assume that the positive direction is up. Calculate the contact force F1-2 that box 1 exerts on box 2 during the acceleration. F1-2 = N Calculate the contact force F3-2 that box 3 exerts on box 2 during the acceleration. F3-2 = N
In a baseball game, one of the players graps the ball and lessens the influence of the ball by moving his hand back. The ball touches the player's hand at a speed of 140.4 km/h in the horizontal direction. The ball is 152 gr. The player moves his hand back with an average speed of 8 m/s over 14 cm in the horizontal direction. In this way, the player has caused the ball to stop. Calculate the average impulsive force applied on the hand of the player.
A box of mass M=1980 g, filled with sand, is suspended from a 1=1.5 m long rope. The length of the rope is much larger than the dimensions of the box. A bullet with mass m=20 g flying with a velocity of v=500 m/s in the horizontal direction hits the box and gets stuck. Find the maximum deviation angle of the rope from the vertical. Neglect the drag force of the air. Take g=10m/s^2.
