Far out in space, a mass m1=143300.0 kg rocket and a mass m2= 230500.0 kg rocket are docked at opposite ends of a motionless 89.0m long connecting tunnel. The tunnel is rigid and has a mass of 10300.0kg. a) How far from the 143300.0-kg rocket is the center of mass? 5.46×101 m b) The rockets start their engines simultaneously, each generating 54680.0N of thrust in opposite directions. What is the structure's angular velocity after 25.7s?

You stand on a top of a lighthouse while your friend is on the ground outside. You peered into the window and dropped the bulb used on the lighthouse and asked your friend to check if it is still okay. He caught the bulb with ease after 4.58 seconds then tossed it back up to you and it lands directly into your hands. What is the velocity of the bulb at the exact moment your friend tossed it back up to you?
Which projectile has the greatest flight time? Projectile B Projectile A Projectile C They are all the same
In a game of pool, ball A is moving with a velocity v_0 when it strikes balls B and C which are at rest and aligned as shown. Knowing that after the collision the three balls move in the directions indicated and that v_0 = 19 m/s and v_C = 6.9 m/s, determine the magnitude of the velocity of (a) ball A, (b) ball B. Urgent pls
