After a 70-kg person steps from a boat onto the shore, the boat moves away with a speed of 0.70 m/sm/s with respect to the shore. If the same person steps from the shore onto the boat, the person and the boat move away from the shore at a speed of 0.50 m/sm/s. Assume that the initial speed of the person with respect to the shore is the same in both cases and that the person is moving in a horizontal direction. A. Determine the mass of the boat. B. Determine the speed of the person.

I was standing on the side of a 10-m foot bridge, holding a ball while watching a car approaching the bridge at uniform speed. When the car was 15 meters away from where I was standing, the ball that I was holding slipped in my hand and the car arrived at the bridge when the ball hit the ground. What was the speed of the car? (Assume that the final velocity of the ball is NOT zero)

An object has a velocity (4.69 m/s)i + (-4.4 m/s)j + (4.73 m/s)k. In a time of 5.5 s its velocity becomes (-2.22 m/s)i + (0.00 m/s)j + (4.73 m/s)k. 1) If the mass of the object is 3.31 kg, what is the magnitude of the net force on the object, in N, during the 5.5 s? Assume the acceleration is constant.
A red train traveling at 72 miles/hour (mph) and a green train traveling at 100 mph are headed toward one another along a straight, level track. When they are 2500 feet apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the brakes. The brakes decelerates each train at the rate of 2.0 meters per second squared. Is their a collision? If so, what is the speed of each train at impact? If not, what is the separation between the trains when they stop? (Non-ro...
