Question
At a city park, a person throws some bread into a duck pond. Two 4.00-kg ducks and a 9.00-kg goose paddle rapidly
toward the bread, as shown in our sketch. If the ducks swim at 1.10 m>s, and the goose swims with a speed of 1.30 m>s,
find the magnitude and direction of the total momentum of the three birds.

- two blocks of masses m and 3m are placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. a light spring is attached to the more massive block, and the blocks are pushed together with the spring between them as shown in the figure below. a cord initially holding the blocks together is burned; after that happens, the block of mass 3m moves to the right with a speed of v with arrow3m = 2.70 m/s.(e) if the spring was compressed by 5.00 cm, what is the spring constant of the spring?arrow_forwardA rocket-powered sled sits on a frozen lake bed. The sled has a mass of 210 kg, and the combusting rocket fuel has a mass of 8 kg. In a simplified analysis, we assume that as a result of combustion, the rocket fuel is fired backward at a speed of 160 m/s. What final speed does the sled achieve?arrow_forwardQuestion 3: There is an air hockey table in the treehouse!

- 3. Bob and Linda are sweethearts that enjoy skating arm in arm. Bob has a mass of 85 kg and Linda has a mass of 60 kg. Initially they are skating together with a speed of 3.0 m/s. Then Bob whispers a dirty joke into Linda's ear, causing her to push him in the oppposite direction of their motion. If Bob's final speed is 1.0 m/s, what is Linda's final speed?

Rock 1 is in the sky with a speed of 25 m/s towards Rock 2, and rock 2 is movingtowards Rock 1 in the opposite direction with a speed of 35 m/s. If the two rocks stick together, what is their final velocity? Ignore air resistance and gravity. Is there a change in the kinetic energy of the system? If so, what is it?arrow_forwardSquids are the fastest marine invertebrates, using a powerful set of muscles to take in and then eject water in a form of jet propulsion that can propel them to speeds of over 11.5 m/s. What speed (in m/s) would a stationary 1.40 kg squid achieve by ejecting 0.115 kg of water (not included in the squid's mass) at 3.75 m/s? Neglect other forces, including the drag force on the squid.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardYou’ve probably seen cartoons in which a person is blown backward by a sneeze. Could this actually happen? Suppose a 80 kg woman sneezes rather violently while standing motionless on a frictionless surface, ejecting 3.0 g of air and water vapor at a speed of 40 m/s . These are typical values for a sneeze. - If the air is ejected horizontally, how fast is the woman moving after the sneeze?arrow_forwardA 1200 kg car approaches a 950 kg car that is stopped at a traffic light. The initial speed of the first car is 40 mph, to the right, and it hits the second car. Both stay together moving at the same speed.
