A cart filled with sand rolls at a speed of vcart = 1.4 m/s along a horizontal path without friction. A ball of mass m = 2.4 kg is thrown with a horizontal velocity of vball = 9.5 m/s toward the cart as shown in the figure below. The ball gets stuck in the sand. What is the velocity of the cart after the ball strikes it? The mass of the cart is 11 kg. (Assume the positive x direction is to the right. Express your answer in vector form.)
A dancer is standing on one leg on a drawbridge that is about to open. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the drawbridge and the dancer's foot are μs and μk, respectively. n⃗ represents the normal force exerted on the dancer by the bridge, and F⃗g represents the gravitational force exerted on the dancer, as shown in the drawing.(Figure 1). For all the questions, we can assume that the bridge is a perfectly flat surface and lacks the curvature characteristic of most bridges. Before the drawbridge starts to open, it is perfectly level with the ground. The dancer is standing still on one leg. What is the horizontal component of the friction force f⃗? (Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables n, μs, and/or μk.) (Figure 2). The drawbridge then starts to rise. The dancer continues to stand on one leg. The drawbridge stops just at the point where the dancer is on the verge of slipping. What is the magnitude f of the frictional force now? (Express…
If a rocket in space is initially at rest and then accelerates at a rate of 50 m/s 2 for one minute (which is 60 seconds), how fast will it be going at that point? Your answer should be in units of m/s but you should only submit the number for your answer.
A robot with fancy wheels is trained to move in two directions simultaneously. The force in the forward direction is 10 N and the force in the horizontal direction is 8 N.

Consider a pair of masses m1 and m2 connected by a non-stretchable string that runs over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure on the right. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and the horizontal surface on which it initially rests is μk, find its resulting acceleration magnitude in terms of m1, m2, and μk, when the system is released. Assume that air resistance is negligible and m2 > μk m1.
