A mom is pulling her son and daughter who are sitting in two sleds that are connected by a rope. The mass of the girl and sled 1 is 61 kg, the mass of the boy and sled 2 is 65 kg. The mom is pulling so that the sleds accelerate at a rate of 0.42 m/s². The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sleds and the ice is 0.22. sled 2 sled 1 a) Draw a free-body diagram for the system (both kids and sleds combined).

Use following information to answer parts a–c: Jack has a dream that he is stranded in the middle of a frozenpond. The ice is frictionless so he isn’t able to walk or push off ofthe ice to get back to shore. All he has is his backpack carrying hisheavy physics textbook. a) Identify a pair of action and reaction forces that Jack could use to get back toshore. b) Explain how Jack could minimize the amount of time it takes for him to get toshore (consider Newton’s Second Law). c) Compare and contrast a rocket launch with Jack’s strategy to get back to shore.Use the principles of Newton’s Third Law in your answer.

(1) A car with mass 996 kg moving at 28 m/s hits a giant bag of marshmallows. The bag slows the car down, but it is unable to completely stop it because it ruptures at Dt = 1.8 s after the car hits, scattering marshmallows all over the countryside. Suppose the bag exerts a force on the car that depends on time (t) given by F = -At2; A = 7.2 x 103 N/s2 when t is in seconds (2) Two objects, moving towards each other with speed v, collide head on, stick together, and then move on with speed v/4 after the collision.
