- Big Boris (90kg) skates backward, 1.0 meter ahead of small skater Sofia (45 kg) , holding her hand as they travel 3.0 "/s . At the 30-second mark, Boris starts pulling Sofia past him, so that by 32.0 s she is 1.0 m ahead of him. During that move, what was Sofia's average velocity, relative to Boris? -0.5 m/s -2.0 m/s +2.0 m/s -1.0 m/s +0.5 m/s +1.0 m/sarrow_forwardIn a fit, a toddler throws straight down his favorite 1.5 kg toy with an initial velocity of 2 m/s.

- A man ( mass = 100 kg) fall freely from rest and strikes the ground. During the collision with the ground, he comes to rest in a time of .2s. The average force exerted on her by the ground is + 2000 N, where the upward direction is taken to be the positive direction. A) from what height did he just fall? Assume the only force acting on him during the collision is that of the ground. B) suppose instead of the man, a 5 kg rubber ball was dropped from the same vertical distance and the ball bounced back conserving the linear momentum. What would be the velocity of the ball just when it bounced back?arrow_forwardTwo people, one with a mass of 60 kg and one with a mass of 45 kg, sit on 5 kg frictionless carts that are initially at rest on a flat surface. The lighter person pushes on the more massive person, causing the latter to accelerate at a rate of 3.0 m/s2 toward the east. What are the magnitude and direction of the lighter person’s acceleration vector? The acceleration is_____ m/s2 toward the choose one ( East, West, North , south)arrow_forwardPlease don't provide handwritten solution....arrow_forward
- A hammer drives a nail into a piece of wood. Identify an action-reaction pair. The hammer exerts a force on the nail; the nail exerts a force on the hammer. The hammer exerts a force on the nail; the hammer exerts a force on the wood. The nail exerts a force on the hammer; the hammer exerts a force on the wood. The hammer exerts a force on the nail; the wood exerts a force on the nail.arrow_forwardIn the movie The Rocketeer, a teenager discovers a jet-powered backpack in an old barn. The backpack allows him to fly at incredible speeds. In one scene, however, he uses the backpack to rapidly accelerate an old pickup truck that is being chased by “bad guys.” He does this by bracing his arms against the cab of the pickup and firing the backpack, giving the truck the acceleration of a drag racer. Is the physics of this scene “Good,”“Bad,” or “Ugly?” Draw and Explain.arrow_forwardTwo ice skaters stand together as illustrated in Figure (a). They "push off" and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.42 m/s. If the boy weighs 718 N and the girl 450 N, what is the girl's velocity after they push off? (Consider the ice to be frictionless.)arrow_forward
