Question
This time, your mass is 64.4 kg and the sled s mass is 23.1 kg. You re on the sled, initially moving to the west at 5.49 cm/s. From the southern shore, your friend throws a baseball of mass 0.150 kg, which you catch as it s traveling northward with a horizontal velocity component of 21.1 m/s. What will be the sled s (and your) speed after catching the ball?
a) 4.90 cm/s
b) 13.6cm/s
c) 2.62cm/s
d) 6.56cm/s

- A moving cart of mass 3.5 kg crashes into a stationary cart of mass 10.5 kg as shown. The carts are prevented from touching one another during the collision by a pair of neodymium magnets mounted on the ends of the carts and positioned for repulsion. After separating, the more massive cart moves to the right at 1.4 m/s. What are the final speed and direction of motion of the less massive cart? strong magnets Vfi VGi = 0 3.5 kg 10.5 kg Frictionless surfacearrow_forwardA BB gun is fired at a cardboard box of mass m2 = 0.75 kg on a frictionless surface. The BB has a mass of m1 = 0.012 kg and travels at a velocity of v1 = 98 m/s. It is observed that the box is moving at a velocity of v2 = 0.26 m/s after the BB passes through it. PART A) what is the BB's final velocity, vf, in meters per second PART B) if the BB doesnt exit the box, what will the final velocity of the box be in meters per second?arrow_forwardA non-BYU Idaho student is having a snow ball fight. 'Accidentally' a snowball travelling north at 10.0 m/s hits a bicyclist traveling west at 5.00 m/s. The mass of the snowball is 0.750 kg, and the bicyclist is 55.0 kg. What is her final velocity, a. If the snow ball sticks to the bicyclist? b. If the snow ball bounces off with a speed of 2.0 m/s at an angle 20.0° West of South?arrow_forward
