Question
In a very busy off-campus eatery, one chef sends a 201 g broccoli-tomato-pickle-onion-mushroom pizza sliding down the counter from left to right at 1.79 m/s. Almost simultaneously, the other chef launches a 335 g veggie burger (with everything, but hold the horseradish) along the same counter from right to left at 2.47 m/s. The two delicacies collide head-on at the given speeds. The counter is practically friction-free due to accumulated grease. The two delicacies merge into a single, unbelievably savory serving.
In what direction does the merged meal move, if it moves at all?
A) does not move
B) to the right
C) to the left
At what speed does it move in m/s? Enter a positive number.

- 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 to 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.arrow_forwardA lumberjack is standing on a log floating on a lake.

Out of nowhere comes a crazed soccer mom driving her red minivan (M = 1261 kg) in a northerly direction at the insane velocity of V, = 21.81 m/s crashing straight into the innocent student. Their vehicles intertwine into a tangled pile of wreckage that eventually slides to a stop. We'll take the coefficient of friction to be: µk = 0.623. d%3? V2(wreckage) V2y=? v,(car) V=?

Almost simultaneously, the other chef launches a 315 g veggieburger (with everything, but hold the horseradish) along the same counter from right to left at 2.27 m/s. The two delicacies collide head on at the given speeds. The counter is practically friction free due to accumulated grease. The two delicacies merge into a single, unbelievably savory serving.
