Question
The stoplight had just changed and a 2100 kg Cadillac had entered the intersection, heading north at 2.8 m/s, when it was struck by a 1200 kg eastbound Volkswagen. The cars stuck together and slid to a halt, leaving skid marks angled 35∘ north of east.
How fast was the Volkswagen going just before the impact?

Suppose a pigeon is gliding north at a speed of vP=22.9 m/s when a hawk swoops down, grabs the pigeon, and flies off, as shown in the figure. The hawk was flying north at a speed of vH=36.1 m/s, at an angle θ=45∘ below the horizontal at the instant of the attack. What is the birds' final speed vf just after the attack? vf=? m/s What is the angle θf below the horizontal of the final velocity vector of the birds just after the attack? θf=? degreearrow_forward

He tackles a 87.8 kg running back (0) moving at 9.05 m/s straight toward the goal line, perpendicular to the original direction of the linebacker. As a result of the collision, both players momentarily leave the ground and go out-of-bounds at an angle o relative to the sideline, as shown in the diagrams.

The rocket consists of a central block C (of mass M-6.50 kg) and blocks L and R (each of mass m-1.20 kg) on the left and right sides. Sm explosions can shoot either of the side blocks away from block C and along the x axis. Here is the sequence: (1) At time t-0, block Lis shot to the left with a speed of 3.30 m/s relative to the velocity that the explosion gives the rest of the rocket. (2) Next, at timet -0.6 s, block R is shot to the right with a speed of 3.30 m/s relative to the velocity that block C then has (after the second explosion). At t -3.30 s, what are (a) the velocity of block C (including sign) and (b) the position of its center? (a) Number (b) Number Units Unitsarrow_forward
