You are sitting in a sled, at rest on a pond covered with nice, thick, frictionless ice. Your own mass is 73.7 kg, and the mass of the sled when empty is 11.7 kg. From shore, someone throws a baseball of mass 0.196 kg to you, and you catch it; the horizontal component of the ball s velocity is 30.6 m/s. What will be the sled s (and your) speed with respect to the surface of the pond after you catch the ball?8.12 cm/s50.4 cm/s5.61 cm/s7.01 cm/s

- Three asteroids coated with cosmic slime are moving in the same plane when they collide and stick together. Initially, asteroid A has a mass of 2*107 kg and is moving to the right at a speed of 150 m/s, asteroid B has a mass of 3*107 kg and is moving at 50 m/s towards the lower left at an angle of 60 degrees with respect to asteroid A, while asteroid C has a mass of 5*107 kg and is moving with an unknown speed and angle. After the collision, the resulting single asteroid is moving toward the right at a speed of 50 m/s. Determine the speed and angle of asteroid C prior to the collision.arrow_forwardhawkeye shoots an arrow with a mass 35g. the force on the arrow as it is shot through the 25 cm bow is 140f (N) and 0.25 d(m). what is the velocity of the arrow as it leaves the bowarrow_forwardAn astronaut floating at rest in space has run out of fuel in her jetpack. She realizes that throwing tools from her toolkit in the opposite direction will help propel her back toward the space station.

- A rubber bullet of mass m = 0.025 kg traveling at velocity vo 50 m/s hits 15 kg initially hanging at rest from a massless rope. an iron block of mass M After the collision, the bullet bounced straight back at a speed of v1 35 m/s. M M V1 h The effect of gravity on the bullet alone can be ignored. To what maximum height h will the iron block reach after the collision?

Your own mass is 64.8 kg, and the sleds mass is 21.5 kg. You start at rest, and then you jump off the sled, after which the empty sled is traveling at a speed of 4.25 m/s. What will be your speed on the ice after jumping off? 0.71 m/s 2.12 m/s 1.77 m/s 1.41 m/sarrow_forwardYou are sitting in a sled, at rest on a pond covered with nice, thick, frictionless ice. Your own mass is 76.3 kg, and the sleds mass is 10.8 kg. The sled is moving by itself on the ice at 3.07 m/s. You parachute vertically down onto the sled, and land gently. What is the sleds velocity with you now on it? 0.49 m/s 0.44 m/s 0.38 m/s 0.23 m/sarrow_forward

Your mass is 87kg and the other astronaut's mass is 91kg. Initially you and the other astronaut are at rest. You threw the tool at a speed of 7m/s. What is the velocity of the astronaut after they catch the tool?arrow_forwardYou find yourself stuck in outer space with nothing but your physics book and a space suit. You have a mass of 91 kg in your suit, and your physics book has a mass of 2.3 kg. In order to make it back to your stationary spaceship before running out of air, you must move at 0.18 m/s. How fast (in m/s) do you have to throw your physics book to achieve this speed?arrow_forward
