cat (mass of 3.63 kg) is on a sled (mass of 22.7 kg) which rests on an icy surface... so no friction. In front of this sled, there is another identical sled. The cat jumps from the first sled to the second AND immediately back to the first. Both jumps are made at a relative speed of 3.7 m/sec between the cat and the sled it is on. Calculate the final speeds of the two sleds!

A load of gravel is dumped straight down into a 30000-kg freight car coasting at 2.2 m/s on a straight section of a railroad. If the freight car’s speed after receiving the gravel is 1.5 m/s, what mass of gravel did it receive?
A 76.1 kg astronaut of holding a 12.3 kg tool pack while drifting at 10.6 m/s to the right. She throws the tool pack away so that it is drifting at 1.5 m/s to the left. How fast is she moving after the throw? Assume that they are out in deep space with no other forces acting on them.
Two train cars on a frictionless track have a completely inelastic collision in which they "couple" together. The car on the left has mass 16.1 tons and velocity 16.1 m/s to the right; the other train has mass 10.8 tons and velocity 13.1 m/s to the left. After the collision, what is the velocity of the pair fo cars? Your answer should be in tons times m/s, but you don't need to write the units, just the number. "To the right" is taken as positive, so make sure you have the sign right. (If your answer is positive, you don't need to write a "+" sign.)
A 100-kg astronaut finds himself separated from his spaceship by 10 m and moving away from the spaceship at 0.1 m/s. To get back to the spaceship, he throws a 10-kg tool bag away from the spaceship at 5.0 m/s. How long will he take to return to the spaceship?
A hockey player slaps a puck into a cushion, which brings the puck to rest. If the puck's initial velocity was +40 m/s and it has a mass of 170 g, what force does the cushion apply to the puck? Assume the cushion acts on the puck for 0.03 s and the surface that the puck slides on is frictionless.
Keith Lee, who is billed at 154 kg, ejects Adam Cole, billed at 95 kg, from frame. Assuming Cole comes to a complete stop before being yeeted, what is the net force he feels if he travels 2 m in 0.65 s?
Why is the following situation impossible? An astronaut, together with the equipment he carries, has a mass of 150 kg. He is taking a space walk outside his spacecraft, which is drifting through space with a constant velocity. The astronaut accidentally pushes against the spacecraft and begins moving away at 20.0 m/s, relative to the spacecraft, without a tether. To return, he takes equipment off his space suit and throws it in the direction away from the spacecraft. Because of his bulky space suit, he can throw equipment at a maximum speed of 5.00 m/s relative to himself. After throwing enough equipment, he starts moving back to the spacecraft and is able to grab onto it and climb inside.
An astronaut with a mass of 70 kg is outside a space capsule when the tether line breaks. To return to the capsule, the astronaut throws a 2 kg wrench away from the capsule at a velocity of 14 m/s. At what velocity does the astronaut move toward the capsule?
If a B g bullet is fired out of a 5 kg rifle at the speed of 95 m/s What is the recoil speed of the rifle? When the bullet hits the target it takes 0.35 s to stop. What force does the bullet apply on the target?
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?
One billiard ball is shot east at 2.00 m/s. A second, identical billiard ball is shot west at 1.00 m/s. The balls have a glancing collision, not a head-on collision, deflecting the second ball by 90° and sending it north at 1.41 m/s. What are the speed and direction of the first ball after the collision?
2. A 62 kg student stands on a 36 kg cart that is free to move in any direction. The cart and student are moving together with a velocity of 2.7 m/s [S]. The student then starts to walk so that her velocity is 3.1m/s [ E25oN] relative to the floor. Calculate the new velocity of the cart.
