The figure shows two 22.4 kg ice sleds that are placed a short distance apart, one directly behind the other. A 3.78 kg cat initially standing on one sled jumps to the other one and then back to the first. Both jumps are made at a speed of 2.83 m/s relative to the ice. What are the final speeds of (a) the first sled and (b) the other sled? P752

This question refers to the carts in the diagram before question 5. Read carefully! The numbers have changed! Cart 1 has a mass of m1 = 2.2 kg. Cart 2 has a mass of m2 = 4.2 kg. Cart 1 had an initial speed of v1 = 3.8 m/s and it was initially moving to the right. Cart 2 had an initial speed of v2= 3.2 m/s and it was initially moving to the left. When the two carts meet, they collide with a completely inelastic collision. Find the change in the total kinetic energy of both carts. If the combined kinetic energy of the two carts increased, your answer should be positive. If the combined kinetic energy of the two carts decreased, your answer should be negative. Answer in units of joules.
A 5.00 kg chunk of ice is sliding at 13.0 m/s on the floor of an ice-covered valley when it collides with and sticks to another 5.00 kg chunk of ice that is initially at rest. (See the figure below (Figure 1).) Since the valley is icy, there is no friction. Part A After the collision, how high above the valley floor will the combined chunks go? (Hint: Break this problem into two parts-the collision and the behavior after the collision-and apply the appropriate conservation law to each part.) Π| ΑΣΦ H = Submit Request Answer ?
