A 1300 kg car is rolling along a horizontal road and is beginning to tow a 1100 kg car. The instant before the towrope starts to exert a force on the second car, the first car's velocity is +1.7 m.s', and the second car is at rest. Determine the velocity of the two cars after the towing begins, assuming that the towrope is not elastic.

Three steel spheres of equal mass are suspended from the ceiling bystrings of the same length that are spaced at a distanceslightly larger than the diameter of the spheres. After pulling it andReleasing it, sphere A hits sphere B, which then hits sphere C.If the coefficient of restitution between the spheres is denoted by e and by v0 thevelocity of A just before it hits B, determine, (a) the velocitiesof A and B immediately after the first collision, b) the velocities ofB and C immediately after the second crash. c) If now it is assumedthat n spheres are suspended from the ceiling and that the first is pulled and released asdescribed above, determine the velocity of the last sphere aftertakes the first hit. d.Use the result of part c to find the velocity of the last sphere.when n = 6 and e = 0.95.
Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in Fig. 3.28. They push off and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of 0.50 m/s to the left. If the boy weighs 735 N and the girl weighs 490 N, what is the girls velocity after they push off? (Consider the ice to be frictionless.)
In an elastic collision, a 400-kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling in the same direction. The initial speed of the leading bumper car is 5.60 m/s and that of the trailing car is 6.00 m/s. Assuming that the mass of the drivers is much, much less than that of the bumper cars, what are their final speeds?
At the instant a 2.0-kg particle has a velocity of 4.0 m/s in thepositive x direction, a 3.0-kg particle has a velocity of 5.0 m/s in thepositive y direction. What is the speed of the center of mass of thetwo-particle system?

Three skydivers are plummeting earthward. They are initially holding onto each other, but then push apart. Two skydivers of mass 70 and 80 kg gain horizontal velocities of 1.2 m/s north and 1.4 m/s southeast, respectively. What is the horizontal velocity of the third skydiver, whose mass is 55 kg?

Assuming a constant accelerating force, compute the following: a) the acceleration of the bullet,b) the accelerating force,c) the time of acceleration, andd) the impulse of the collision.
To keep the calculations fairly simple, but still reasonable, we shall model a human leg that is 92.0 cm long (measured from the hip joint) by assuming that the upper leg and the lower leg (which includes the foot) have equal lengths and that each of them is uniform. For a 70.0 kg person, the mass of the upper leg is 8.60 kg, while that of the lower leg (including the foot) is 5.25 kg. Find the location of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is (a) fully extended, and (b) bent at the knee to form a right angle with the upper leg.
A hockey player with a mass of M = 72 kg, standing on ice, pushes a plate with a mass of m = 0.5 kg in a horizontal direction at a speed of v = 30 m / s, which causes him to start moving in the opposite direction. After how long it stops if the coefficient of friction between the skates and the iceis kt = 0.02 and by how much does it move?
Spectators watch a bicycle stunt rider travel off the end of a60.0° ramp, rise to the top of his trajectory and, at that instant,suddenly push his bike away from him so that he falls verticallystraight down, reaching the ground 0.550 s later. Howfar from the rider does the bicycle land if the rider has massM = 72.0 kg and the bike has mass m = 12.0 kg? Neglect airresistance and assume the ground is level.
