A car heading north collides at an intersection with a truck heading east. Truck and car have equal masses. If they lock together and travel at 30 m/s at 30° north of east just after the collision, how fast was the truck initially traveling? Assume that any other unbalanced forces are negligible. 15.0 m/s 30.0 m/s 26.0 m/s 52.0 m/s

To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places 6.00-m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to frictionless. The center of ladder is 2.00 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3.00 m from the bottom. Find the normal reaction and friction forces on the ladder at its base.
Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange and the other green, are involved in a perfectly elastic glancing collision. The green disk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk moving initially to the right at 5.00 m/s as in Figure P6.40a. After the collision, the orange disk moves in a direction that make an angle of 37.0 with the horizontal axis while the green disk makes an angle of 53.0 with this axis as in Figure P6.40b. Determine the speed of each disk after the collision. Figure P6.40

The vector position of a 3.50-g particle moving in the xy plane varies in time according to r rightarrow = (3i^ + 3j^ )t + 2j^ t2,where t is in seconds and r rightarrow is in centimeters. At the same time, the vector position of a 5.50-g particle varies asr2 rightarrow = 3i^ - 2i^t2 - 6j^ t. At t = 2.50 s, determine (a) the vector position of the center of mass, (b) the linear momentum of the system, (c) the velocity of the center of mass,(d) the acceleration of the center of mass, and (e) the net force exerted on the two-particle system.

Ignore the friction between therope and the beams over which itslides, and find (a) the accelerationwith which Robin is pulled upward and (b) thetension in the rope while Robin escapes.
A 1400 kg car moving at 21 m/s runs into a 1200 kg car mobing in the same direction at 14 m/s. The two Cars lock together, and both drivers inmediately apply their brakes. If the cars comes to rest in 18 m, what is the coefficient of friction between the car's tires and the road?
There are three masses, M1 = 1 kg, M2 = 3 kg, and M3 = 5 kg. M1 is located at (0,0); M2 is located at (2, 0); and M3 is located at (1, 1). (All positions are in meters.) Find the center-of-mass of this system of masses, with respect to the origin. Express your answer in unit vector notation, i.e., rcm = xcmi + ycmj where r, i, and j are vectors.
During the filming of a certain movie scene, the director wants a small car (whose mass is m1) traveling due east at speed v1 to collide with a small truck (whose mass is m2) traveling north. The director also wants the collision to be arranged so that just afterward, the interlocked vehicles travel straight toward the camera. If the line between the camera and collision makes an angle of theta with respect to north, at what speed v2 should the trucker drive?
