A lumberjack is standing on a log floating on a lake. She starts from rest, then runs along the log to the end, when she jumps from the first log onto a second. After landing safely on the second log, she slows down and ends up standing on the second log. Both logs both have masses of 150 kg each and the mass of the lumberjack is 70 kg. The lumberjack reaches a speed of 7.0 m/s relative ko the shore during her jump. What is the speed of the lumberjack after she has stopped on the second log? You may assume the drag of the water on the logs is very small. Please answer in units of m/s.

In the railroad freight yard, an empty freight car of mass m rolls along a straight level track at 1.20 m/s and collides with an initially stationary, fully loaded boxcar of mass 5.80m. The two cars couple together on collision. a.)What is the speed of the two cars after the collision? b.)Suppose instead that the two cars are at rest after the collision. With what speed was the loaded boxcar moving before the collision if the empty one was moving at 1.20 m/s?
You are standing on a skateboard, initially at rest. A friend throws a very heavy ball towards you. You can either catch the object or deflect the object back towards your friend (such that it moves away from you with the same speed as it was originally thrown). What should you do in order to minimize your speed on the skateboard? O No answer text provided. O Catch the ball. Your final speed on the skateboard will be the same regardless whether you catch the ball or deflect the ball. O Deflect the ball.

After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 45.0 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.05 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg. m/s
When some cars are advertised, they quote a "stopping distance" from some speed to zero. The mass of the car and this value of "some speed" give a measure of initial motion, but we aren't necessarily told the mass. Using the stopping distance, one can directly calculate what physical quantity provided by the brakes?

6. A block of mass m and a block of mass 3m are used to sandwich a massless spring with spring constant k. The blocks are not connected to the spring. Initially the blocks are at rest on a frictionless surface, and they are being held together so that the spring between them is compressed by an amount D from its equilibrium length. The blocks are then released, and the spring pushes them off in opposite 3k directions. Find the final speeds of the two blocks. [Ans: v, -D; V3m 4m -D] 12m
