Question
A 65.0-kg boy and his 40.0-kg sister, both wearing roller blades, face each other at rest. The girl pushes the boy hard, sending him backward with velocity 2.90 m/s toward the west. Ignore friction. (a) Describe the subsequent motion of the girl. (b) How much potential energy in the girl’s body is converted into mechanical energy of the boy–girl system? (c) Is the momentum of the boy–girl system conserved in the pushing-apart process? If so, explain how that is possible considering (d) there are large forces acting and (e) there is no motion beforehand and plenty of motion afterward.

- In a circus act, a 55.5 kg clown with 2.5 m/s horizontal velocity jumps into the air and is caught by a 72.5 kg clown who was initially at rest. The clown is sitting on a sheet of ice, and moves off at some new velocity, after the two clowns are stuck together. How much kinetic energy is lost during this process?

The man and dog's speed is 3.50 km/h, and the child's speed is 1.25 km/h. 1. According to the woman, what is the kinetic energy of the man-dog-child system? ( Ans: 48.5 J ) 2. According to the man, what is the kinetic energy of the man-dog-child system? ( Ans: 17.6 J )arrow_forwardWhen some cars are advertised, they quote a "stopping distance" from some speed to zero. The mass of the car and this value of "some speed" give a measure of initial motion, but we aren't necessarily told the mass. Using the stopping distance, one can directly calculate what physical quantity provided by the brakes?
