Dr. Jekyll (m = 70kg) is riding a skateboard when he realizes the cranberry juice he’s drinking is sweetened with artificial sweetener and turns into Mr. Hyde (m = 155kg). If Dr. Jekyll was initially moving at 6.5m/s, what is Mr. Hyde’s speed? (assume no external forces act)
You are playing a game and you push a cart to give it in. speed. The cart starts at the bottom (zero) of a ramp and after reaching the top of the ramp, the cart travels across a horizontal track w/ friction. The mass of the cart is 44 x 10^-3 kg. The ramp is 56 cm high. The length is 70 cm. What can you infer of the intial speed in (m/s)
39. a. With what initial speed must you throw a ball vertically for it to reach a height of 20 ft? The ball weighs 1
lb. How does your answer change if the ball weighs 2 lb?
b. Suppose you want to throw a steel bar vertically to a height of 20 ft. The bar weighs 2 lb. How much

- 6. Your friend (mass 65.0 kg) is standing on the ice in the middle of a frozen pond. There is very little friction between her feet and the ice, so she is unable to walk. Fortunately, a light rope is tied around her waist and you stand on the bank holding the other end. You pull the rope for 3.00 s and accelerate your friend from rest to a speed of 6.00 m/s while you remain at rest.
