lalhing two boxes of gold and having a mass of 400 Kg altogether has been cut loose from the horses by an outlaw when the wagon is up on a slope as in the sketch. Assume that the wagon rolls down the road with negligible friction. The outlaw plans to have the wagon rolls back down the slope and across the level ground and then crash into a canyon where his confederates wait. But in a tree L 30 m from the cliff wait Batman of mass 80 Kg and Robin of mass 70 Kg (they both made A in Phys 1401 at the Wild West College). They drop together vertically into the wagon as it passes beneath them. (1) If the wagon has a speed of 20 m/s just before Batman and Robin jump into it, what is the magnitude and direction of the momentum of the wagon? (2) Calculate the speed of the wagon just after Batman and Robin jump into it.

You hold a slingshot at arms length, pull the light elastic band back to your chin, and release it to launch a pebble horizontally with speed 200 cm/s. With the same procedure, you fire a bean with speed 600 cm/s. What is the ratio of the mass of the bean to the mass of the pebble? (a) 19 (b) 13 (c) 1 (d) 3 (e) 9
Two objects are connected by a light string passing over a light, frictionless pulley as shown in Figure P7.7. The object of mass m1 = 5.00 kg is released from rest at a height h = 4.00 m above the table. Using the isolated system model, (a) determine the speed of the object of mass m2 = 3.00 kg just as the 5.00-kg object hits the table and (b) find the maximum height above the table to which the 3.00-kg object rises.
A block of mass m1 = 4.00 kg initially at rest on top of a frictionless, horizontal table is attached by a lightweight string to a second block of mass m2 = 3.00 kg hanging vertically from the edge of the table and a distance h = 0.450 m above the floor (Fig. P8.77). If the edge of the table is assumed to be frictionless, what is the speed with which the first block leaves the edge of the table?
The coefficient of friction between the block of mass ml = 3.00 kg and the surface in Figure P7.22 is k = 0.400. The system starts from rest. What is the speed of the ball of mass, m2 = 5.00 kg when it has fallen a distance h = 1.50 m? Figure P7.22
Two projectiles of mass m1 and m2 , are fired at the same speed but in opposite directions from two launch sites separated by a distance D. They both reach the same spot in their highest point and strike there. As a result of the impact they stick together and move as a single body afterwards. Find the place they will land.
Two gliders are set in motion on a horizontal air track. A spring of force constant k is attached to the back end of the second glider. As shown in Figure P8.48, the first glider, of mass m1, moves to the right with speed v1, and the second glider, of mass m2, moves more slowly to the right with speed v2. When m1 collides with the spring attached to m2, the spring compresses by a distance xmax, and the gliders then move apart again. In terms of v1, v2, m1, m2, and k, find (a) the speed rat maximum compression, (b) the maximum compression xmax, and (c) the velocity of each glider after m1 has lost contact with the spring.
Repeat the preceding problem for the case when the initial speed of the second object is nonzero.
Two blocks, A and B (with mass 50.0 kg and 1.00 102 kg, respectively), are connected by a string, as shown in Figure P5.86. The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the incline is k = 0.250. Determine the change in the kinetic energy of block A as it moves from to , a distance of 20.0 m up the incline (and block B drops downward a distance of 20.0 m) if the system starts from rest.

The coefficient of friction between the block of mass m1 = 3.00 kg and ilie surface in Figure P8.22 is k = 0.400. The system starts from rest. What is the speed of the ball of mass m2 = 5.00 kg when it has fallen a distance h = 1.50 m?
Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50 cm and holds it in position with a force of 150 N. If the mass of the arrow is 50 g and the “spring” is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?
A skater of mass 40 kg is carrying a box of mass 5 kg. The skater has a speed of 5 m/s with respect to the floor and is gliding without any friction on a smooth surface. a. Find the momentum of the box with respect to the floor. b. Find the momentum of the box with respect to the floor after she puts the box down on the frictionless skating surface.
A skater is using very low-friction rollerblades. A friend throws a Frisbee to her, on the straight line along which she is coasting. Describe each of the following events as an elastic, an inelastic, or a perfectly inelastic collision between the skater and the Frisbee. (a) She catches the Frisbee and holds it. (b) She tries to catch the Frisbee, but it bounces off her hands and falls to the ground in front of her. (c) She catches the Frisbee and immediately throws it back with the same speed (relative to the ground) to her friend.
