Mr. Wick is on a firefight with Agent Smith. Mr. Wick counteracts Agent Smith's bullet by shooting the latter's bullet such that the paths are collinear. When Mr. Wick's bullet hits the Agent's bullet, they move together as one. Mr. Wick's bullet is two times heavier. Muzzle Velocity: Agent Smith 400 m/s Mr. Wick 700 m/s

A student of mass m1= 57 kg stands on a long cart of mass m2=135 kg initially at text. He begins to run in the cart with a speed relative to the ground of v1=3.3 m/s. Randomized Varibles M1= 57 kg M2= 135 Kg V1= 3.3 m/s (A) write an expression for the horizontal component of the carts velocity relative to the ground while the student is running, in terms of the variables given in the problem statement. Assume the student is running in the positive X direction. (B) what is the velocity in meters per second?

The last stage of a rocket, which is traveling at a speed of 8300 m/s, consists of two parts that are clamped together: a rocket case with a mass of 370 kg and a payload capsule with a mass of 140 kg. When the clamp is released, a compressed spring causes the two parts to separate (with the payload being propelled forward and the rocket case backward) with a relative speed of 720 m/s. What are the speeds of (a) the rocket case and (b) the payload after they have separated? Assume that all velocities are along the same line. Find the total kinetic energy of the two parts (c) before they seperate?
