A big boulder has a mass of 8.20t (metric tons) and rests at a coal mine site. The boulder is blown up with explosives into 3 parts, all the 3 parts move horizontally in the xy plane. The biggest part (mass 3.3 t) travels west at a speed of 3m/s. The second part (mass 2.7t) moves at 2m/s in a direction 25.0 degrees south of east. What is the speed and direction of the third boulder part?

Problem 1. Part (a) You are in deep outer space, far away from any massive objects. You have two boxes, one of which is filled with lifesaving food while the other is empty. Unfortunately, you only have the means to open one of the boxes! But luck is on your side: you took PHYS 102! Using your conceptual understanding of physics, how will you determine which box to open?

A small block with mass 0.200 kg is released from rest at the top of a frictionless incline. The block travels a distance 0.508 m down the incline in 2.00 s. The 0.200 kg block is replaced by a 0.400 kg block. If the 0.400 kg block is released from rest at the top of the incline, how far down the incline does it travel in 2.00 s?
The vector position of a 3.50-g particle moving in the xy plane varies in time according to r→1 = (3î + 3ĵ)t + 2ĵ t2, where t is in seconds and r→ is in centimeters. At the same time, the vector position of a 5.50 g particle varies as r→2 = 3î - 2î t2 - 6ĵ t. At t = 2.50 s, determine (a) the vector position of the center of mass of the system, (b) the linear momentum of the system, (c) the velocity of the center of mass, (d) the acceleration of the center of mass, and (e) the net force exerted on the two-particle system.
A child is standing on the edge of a cliff overlooking a river. The cliff is 8 m above the edge of the river and the river is 20 m wide where the child is located. If the child can throw a rock with a speed of 20 m/s, will the rock make it across the river?
A clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg.If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m. How fast is the coyote moving when he has traveled 2.11m while he is slowing down? Assume his initial speed when he is slowing down is equal to his final speed when the rockets were firing.

In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov– Gerasimenko. Although the comet’s core is actually far from spherical, in this problem we’ll model it as a sphere with a mass of 1.0 x 1013 kg and a radius of 1.6 km. If a rock were dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the comet’s surface, how long would it take to hit the surface?
