A boy with a mass of 40.0 kg stands in an 80-kg boat that has a end of 6.00 m. He walks a distance of 4.00 m from a point of 1.00 m on one end of the boat. How far did the boat move during this process? Ignore air resistance of the motion of the boat in the water.

Rain is falling at the rate of 2.5 cm/h and accumulates in a pan. If the raindrops hit at 8.0 m/s, estimate the force on the bottom of a pan due to the impacting rain which we assume does not rebound. Water has a mass of 1.00 x 103 kg per m3
A 45.0 kg woman stands up in a 60.0 kg canoe 5.00 m long. She walks from a point 1.00 m from one end to a point 1.00 m from the other end (Fig.). If you ignore resistance to motion of the canoe in the water, how far does the canoe move during this process?
A railroad cart with a mass of m₁ = 12.6 t is at rest at the top of an h = 10.3 m high hump yard hill. m m₂ h After it is pushed very slowly over the edge, it starts to roll down. At the bottom it hits another cart originally at rest with a mass of m₂ = 18.6 t. The bumper mechanism locks the two carts together. What is the final common speed of the two carts? (Neglect losses due to rolling friction of the carts. The letter t stands for metric ton in the SI system.)
Tarzan, who has a mass of 80 kg, holds onto the end of a vine that is at a 12° angle from the vertical. He steps off his branch and, just at the bottom of his swing, he grabs onto his chimp friend Cheetah, whose mass is 40 kg. What is the maximum angle the rope reaches as Tarzan swings to the other side?
While Lost-a-Lot ponders his next move in the situation described and illustrated as shown, the enemy attacks! An incoming projectile breaks off the stone ledge so that the end of the drawbridge can be lowered past the wall where it usually rests. In addition, a fragment of the projectile bounces up and cuts the drawbridge cable! The hinge between the castle wall and the bridge is frictionless, and the bridge swings down freely until it is vertical and smacks into the vertical castle wall below the castle entrance. (a) How long does Lost-a-Lot stay in contact with the bridge while it swings downward? (b) Find the angular acceleration of the bridge just as it starts to move. (c) Find the angular speed of the bridge when it strikes the wall below the hinge. Find the force exerted by the hinge on the bridge (d) immediately after the cable breaks and (e) immediately before it strikes the castle wall.
An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only a rope and a bag of tools. First he tries to throw a rope to his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of ma = 113 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of m, = 19.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at e = 1.50 m/s initially, what is the minimum final speed vpr of the bag of tools with respect to the space station that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever? Ub.f = m/s

A trap-jaw ant snaps its mandibles shut at very high speed, a good trait for catching small prey. But an ant can also slam its mandibles into the ground; the resulting force can launch the ant into the air for a quick escape. A 12 mgmg ant hits the ground with an average force of 47 mNmN for a time of 0.13 msms; these are all typical values.
A long cart is at is at rest on a frictionless pavement. A man at one end of the cart walks toward the other end. (a) Will the cart move while the man is walking? (b) If so, in which direction? (c) What happens when the man comes to a stop? Explain your answers briefly.

First he tries to throw a rope to his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of ma = 102 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of mp = 19.0 kg.

You often see magicians pulling the tablecloth off a table while there are still plates on it. Surprisingly, the plates are left undisturbed. Explain how this trick is done. [Caution: Do not try this at home. But if ever you will, you will need a big tablecloth.]
A metal cannonball of mass m rests next to a tree at the very edge of a cliff 36.0 m above the surface of the ocean. In an effort to knock the cannonball off the cliff, some children tie one end of a rope around a stone of mass 80.0 kg and the other end to a tree limb just above the cannonball. They tighten the rope so that the stone just clears the ground and hangs next to the cannonball. The children manage to swing the stone back until it is held at rest 1.80 m above the ground. The children release the stone, which then swings down and makes a head-on, elastic collision with the cannonball, projecting it horizontally off the cliff. The cannonball lands in the ocean a horizontal distance R away from its initial position. (a) Find the horizontal component R of the cannonball’s displacement as it depends on m. (b) What is the maximum possible value for R, and (c) to what value of m does it correspond? (d) For the stone– cannonball–Earth system, is mechanical energy conserved…
