A 20.0-kg toboggan with 58.3-kg driver is sliding down a frictionless chute directed θ = 27.6° below the horizontal at 7.70 m/s when a 55.0-kg woman drops from a tree limb straight down behind the driver. If she drops through a vertical displacement of 2.00 m, what is the subsequent velocity of the toboggan immediately after impact?
Consider a bullet of mass 200 g traveling horizontally towards the east with a speed of 400 m/s. It strikes a block of mass 1.5 kg that is initially at rest on a frictionless table. After striking the block, the bullet is embedded in the block, and the block and the bullet move together as one unit. a) What is the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the block/bullet combination immediately after the impact? (b) What is the magnitude and direction of the impulse by the block on the bullet?
A hockey player with a mass of M = 72 kg, standing on ice, pushes a plate with a mass of m = 0.5 kg in a horizontal direction at a speed of v = 30 m / s, which causes him to start moving in the opposite direction. After how long it stops if the coefficient of friction between the skates and the iceis kt = 0.02 and by how much does it move?
Problem 3: A particle with mass ma = 3.00 kg is located at ra = (2.50 i + 3.50 j) m, and a second particle of mass m2B = 5.00 kg is located at rB = (1.50 i - 3.00 j) m. Find the location of the center of mass of the system relative to the point (1,1).
Shot put is a track and field event in which a heavy spherical ball (the "shot") is thrown (or "put", using the sport's terminology) as far as possible. A "shot" with mass of 6.6 kg is "put" into the air. Its initial speed is 9.6 m/s, directed at an angle 54 degrees above the horizontal. After 0.16 seconds, what is the horizontal component of the ball's velocity (in m/s)?
A baseball of mass m1 = 0.31 kg is thrown at another ball hanging from the ceiling by a length of string L = 1.05 m. The second ball m2 = 0.87 kg is initially at rest while the baseball has an initial horizontal velocity of V1 = 3.5 m/s. After the collision the first baseball falls straight down (no horizontal velocity.) What is the angle that the string makes with the vertical at the highest point of travel in degrees?
A person is pushing a 8 kg block along a horiontal surface at a constant speed of 15.4 m/s. The person is applying a force of 8.9 N to the block at an angle of 36.7° above horizontal. If the block moves a distance of 3.55 m, what is the magnitude of the impulse parted upon the block by the force of gravity?
A person that has a mass of 83 kg stands in the middle of a frozen pond with a radius of 11 m.Because of the frictionless nature of the ice, they are unable to get to theother side of the pond. So, the person throws their textbook that has a mass of2.3 kg horizontally towards one side of the pond, with a speed of 7.5 m/s. How fast does theperson slide along the ice?
The fisherman's mass is 70 kg, and the rowboat's is 119 kg.

A space probe, initially at rest, undergoes an internal mechanical malfunction and breaks into three pieces. One piece of mass m1 = 48.0 kg travels in the positive x -direction at 12.0 m/s, and a second piece of mass m2 = 62.0 kg travels in the xy -plane at an angle of 105° at 15.0 m/s. The third piece has mass m3 = 112 kg. (a) Sketch a diagram of the situation, labeling the different masses and their velocities. (b) Write the general expression for conservation of momentum in the x and y -directions in terms of m1, m2, m3, v1, v2 and v3 and the sines and cosines of the angles, taking u to be the unknown angle.
