A person of mass m sits at the back of a canoe of length L and equal mass m on a perfectly still lake. The front of the canoe is facing a point on the shore of the lake. The person then moves to the front of the canoe and sits there. Assuming that the water offers no resistance to movement, how much closer to the shore is he or she at this point?

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?
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.
Ric, mass 104.6 kg, and Sharon, who is lighter, are enjoying Lake Snowden at dusk in a 38.5 kg-canoe. When the canoe is at rest in the placid water, they exchange seats, which are 3.0 m apart and symmetrically located with respect to the canoe's center. Ric notices that the canoe moved 13.8 cm relative to a submerged log during the exchange and calculates Sharon's mass, which she has not told him. What is it?
A particle of mass m moving along the x-axis with a velocity component +u collides head-on and sticks to a particle of mass m/3 moving along the x-axis with the velocity component −u. What is the mass M of the resulting particle?
A bullet, having a mass of 0.0400 kg moving with a velocity of 450 m/spenetrates a distance of 0.0800 m into a wooden block firmly attached to theearth. 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.
Three ice skaters meet at the center of a rink and each stands at rest facing thecenter, within arm’s reach of the other two. On a signal, each skater pushes themselves away fromthe other two across the frictionless ice. After the push, Skater A with mass 80 kg moves in thenegative y-direction at 3.5 m/s and skater B with mass 75 kg moves in the negative x-direction at4 m/s. Find the x- and y-components of the 90 kg Skater C’s velocity after the push. Assume abirds-eye view of the situation for your coordinates.
the conservation of momentum states that if the vector sum of the external forces on a system is zero, the total momentum of the system is constant. True or Flase?
Fig. 1(a) shows a World War I cannon mounted on a wagon and prepared to firea bullet at an angle of 30oabove the horizontal. With the wagon initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal railthe cannon fires a 200 kg bullet at 125 m/s. (All heats in the rail referential.) (a) Thelinear momentum vector of the wagon-truck-bullet system will be the same immediately before and immediately afterthe bullet is fired? (b) If the mass of wagon plus gun is equal to 5000 kg, what will be the recoil velocity of the wagonwagon on the rail after the shot is fired? (c) The bullet rises to a height of 180 m from its trajectory. At this point,the modulus of its velocity is 80.0 m/s. Based on this information, calculate the amount of thermal energyproduced by the friction of the air with the bullet from the mouth of the gun to its maximum height.
Prove that the linear momentum of a system of particles is conserved.
