Two men are standing in a motionless boat that weighs 400 pounds. Man 1 weighs 150 pounds, and will jump to the left at a velocity of 4ft/s. Man 2 weighs 250 pounds, and will jump to the right at a velocity of 3ft/s. What will be the final velocity of the boat if: a) Man 1 jumps, then man 2 jumps. b) Man 2 jumps, then man 1 jumps. c) Both men jump at the same time.

A 100-kg astronaut finds himself separated from his spaceship by 10 m and moving away from the spaceship at 0.1 m/s. To get back to the spaceship, he throws a 10-kg tool bag away from the spaceship at 5.0 m/s. How long will he take to return to the spaceship?
Two figure skaters are coasting in the same direction, with the leading skater moving at 5.5 m/s and the trailing skating moving at 6.2 m/s. When the trailing skater catches up with the leading skater, he picks her up without applying any horizontal forces on his skates. If the trailing skater is 50 heavier than the 50-kg leading skater, what is their speed after he picks her up?
A load of gravel is dumped straight down into a 30000-kg freight car coasting at 2.2 m/s on a straight section of a railroad. If the freight car’s speed after receiving the gravel is 1.5 m/s, what mass of gravel did it receive?
A cat (mass of 3.63 kg) is on a sled (mass of 22.7 kg) which rests on an icy surface... so no friction. In front of this sled, there is another identical sled. The cat jumps from the first sled to the second AND immediately back to the first. Both jumps are made at a relative speed of 3.7 m/sec between the cat and the sled it is on. Calculate the final speeds of the two sleds!
Two people are in bumper cars on opposite sides of a halfpipe, as shownbelow. Both are released from rest, and both bumper cars have a mass of 500 kg. The personin the red car, staring on the left side of the halfpipe, has a mass of 70 kg and starts 2 m abovethe bottom of the ramp. The person in the blue car, staring on the right side of the halfpipe,has a mass of 80 kg and starts 2.5 m above the bottom of the ramp. Upon colliding, the bumpercars bounce off one another. After the collision, the blue car returns to a height of 1.75 m abovethe bottom of the ramp. What is the height the red car reaches?
A 400 kg rocket sled is coasting at 20 m/s. It then turns on its rocket engines for 4.0 s, with a thrust of 800 N. What is its final speed? А. 30m/s В. 25m/s C. 18m/s D. 28m/s E. None of the above
A 747 jetliner lands and begins to slow to a stop as it moves along the runway. If its mass is 3.56×105 kgkg , its speed is 25.5 m/sm/s , and the net braking force is 4.30×105N4.30×105N, what is its speed 8.07 s later?
A spaceship's orbital maneuver requires a speed increase of 1.10 x 10 m/s. Il its engine has an exthaust speed of 2.15 x 10 m/s, determine the required ratio 2 of its initial mass to its final mass. (The difference M. - M, equals Lhe mass of the ejected fuel.) HINT Errar a nunde Need Help? Read It Westch Submh Anser
A toy rocket achieves a velocity of 54.0 m/s after 2.50 s, when fired straight up. If the average force exerted by the engine is 26 N, what is the toy's mass? Your answer
My son and I are ice skating (not really, I couldn't stand on ice skates more than 2 seconds). In order to help mebget started, we start facing each other with our hands touching. At that point we push off each other's hands and move in opposite directions. Assume that my son's mass is one fourth mine. When we start moving, what would be the ratio of his velocity to mine?
You throw a nerf basketball of mass 0.002 kg into the air. Att = 0, the ball leaves your hand. Att = 0.10 s, the net force on the ball is (-0.0190, -0.0232, 0) N, its velocity is (1.87, 0.84, 0) m/s, and its position is (0.325, 0.210, 0) m. (Besides the gravitational force by Earth, air also exerts a force on the ball.)
Your friend’s car has broken down, so you volunteer to push it with your own car to the nearestrepair shop, which is 2.0 km away. You carefully move your car so that the bumpers of the two carsare in contact. You then slowly accelerate to a speed of 2.5 m/s over the course of 1.0 min. The massof your friend’s car is 1.2 x 10 ^3 kg. Assume negligible friction.a) Calculate the normal force between the two bumpers. b) You then maintain a speed of 2.5 m/s. How long does it take you to reach the repair shop? c) Sketch the shape of a velocity time graph for the entire motion. d) Sketch the shape of a position time graph for the entire motion.
