A 81.4 kg toy rocket is sent flying straight up into the air with an acceleration of 4.20 m/s2. After 4.70 s it explodes and breaks apart into two pieces. The heavier piece has a mass of 66.0 kg. If the lighter piece is able to reach a maximum height of 168 m above the ground, what is the speed of the heavier piece of the toy rocket just after the explosion?

A cart filled with sand rolls at a speed of 1.0 m/s along a horizontal path without friction. A ball of mass m = 2.0 kg is thrown with a horizontal velocity of 8.0 m/s toward the cart as shown in Figure P11.79. The ball gets stuck in the sand. What is the velocity of the cart after the ball strikes it? The mass of the cart is 15 kg. FIGURE P11.79 Problems 79 and 80.

A man walks up to you and hands you an energy drink with mass 0.4 kg. You decide energy drinks aren't for you and throw it on the ground. At the moment the energy drink leaves your hand, it is moving downwards with a speed of 7 m/s and is 1 meter above the ground. Calculate the speed of the energy drink in m/s just before it impacts the ground. As before, assume g = 10 m/s^2. You may neglect air friction. Round your answer to one decimal place.
The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archeological artifacts. 14C (mass 2.34 x 10-26 kg) decays by the process known as beta decay in which the nucleus emits an electron (the beta particle) and a subatomic particle called a neutrino. In one such decay, the electron and the neutrino are emitted at right angles to each other. The electron (mass 9.11 x 10-31 kg) has a speed of 5.00 x 107 m/s and the neutrino has a momentum of 8.00 x 10-24 kg • m/s. What is the recoil speed of the nucleus?
