1. Two 22.7 kg ice sleds initially at rest, are placed a short distance apart, one directly behind the other, as shown in Fig. 1. A 3.63 kg cat, standing on the left sled, jumps across to the right one and immediately comes back to the first. Both jumps are made horizontally at a speed of 3.05 m/s relative to the ice. Ignore the friction between the sled and ice. Fig. 1 (a) Find the final speeds of the two sleds. (b) Calculate the impulse on the cat as it lands on the right sled. (c) Find the average force on the right sled applied by the cat while landing. Consider that the cat takes 12 ms to finish the landing.

A 5.00 kg block is released from rest on a ramp that is inclined at an angle of 60.0° below the horizontal. The initial position of the block is a vertical distance of 2.00 m above the bottom of the ramp. (a) If the speed of the block is 5.00 m/s when it reaches the bottom of the ramp, what was the work done on it by the friction force? (b) If the angle of the ramp is changed but the block is released from a point that is still 2.00 m above the base of the ramp, both the magnitude of the friction force and the distance along the ramp that the block travels change. If the angle of the incline is changed to 50.0°, does the magnitude of the work done by the friction force increase or decrease compared to the value calculated in part (a)? (c) How much work is done by friction when the ramp angle is 50.0°?
