Tom, 75 kg, and John, 95 kg, paddle their 35 kg canoes on the lake. Tom drops his only paddle in the water and it sinks to the bottom when Tom is 15 m from shore. John decides to try to bump Tom to the shore. Assuming the water is still, Tom is initially at rest, and John can move his canoe at 3 m/s, will John be able to bump Tom to the shore? You may use a coefficient of restitution of 0.8 and a coefficient of friction of 0.2 between the water and the boat.

In an oil pool, a small steel ball is released from the surface (y=0) without initial velocity. The strength of the resistance force exerted by the oil against the movement of the ball is directly proportional to the speed of the ball (Fd = k*V , k: constant). Neglect the buoyant force exerted by the oil. (m = 0.2kg, k = 0.843550 kg/s, g = 9.81 m/s^2). a-) What is the limit speed of ball ( Vlim)? b-) What is the time it takes for the speed of the ball to reach 99% of the limit speed after it is released from the surface? c-) What is the depth at which the ball's velocity reaches 99% of the limit velocity after it is released from the surface?

Fluid Mechanics A horizontal jet of water exits a nozzle with a uniform velocity of Vj = 20 m/s and area of Aj= 3 cm^2, and strikes a flat plate that moves to the right at velocity of Vc = 15 m/s. Upon impinging the plate, the jet splits into an equal upward and downward half-jet. (i.e. A1 = A2 = 0.5Aj). Neglecting gravity and viscous forces, determine the force (in both x - and y - directions) required to keep the plate moving at a constant velocity.

How much energy would it take to raise a can of soda (m = 350 grams) to average cruising altitude (35,000 ft)? Our textbook states that a gallon of gasoline contains 1.2×108 Joules of energy. Assuming 100% efficiency, how many gallons of gasoline would it take to raise the can of soda to 35,000 ft? A calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 Celsius degree (4.186 J). A nutritional Calorie is actually 1000 calories (1 Cal = 1 kcal). How many Calories of energy does it take to raise the can of soda to cruising altitude? Given that a can of Coke is about 140 Calories, how many cans of coke does it take to raise a can of coke to cruising altitude?
