A hockey puck of mass 150 g is sliding due east on a frictionless table with a speed of 10 m/s. Suddenly, a constant force of magnitude 5 N and direction due north is applied to the puck for 1.5 s. Find the north and east components of the momentum at the end of the 1.3-s interval.
Three skydivers are plummeting earthward. They are initially holding onto each other, but then push apart. Two skydivers of mass 70 and 80 kg gain horizontal velocities of 1.2 m/s north and 1.4 m/s southeast, respectively. What is the horizontal velocity of the third skydiver, whose mass is 55 kg?
A 2000-kg railway freight car coasts at 4.4 m/s underneath a grain terminal, which dumps grain directly down into the freight car. If the speed of the loaded freight car must not go below 3.0 m/s, what is the maximum mass of grain that it can accept?
a student of mass m1= 64 kg runs towards his skateboard, which has a mass m2= 2.9kg and is d=2.85m ahead of him. he beings at rest and accelerates at a constant rate of a= 0.75m/s^2. when he reaches the skateboard he jumps on it. what is the velocity of the student and skateboard in meterd per second?

A man of mass m 1 = 70.0 kg is skating at v1 = 8.00 m/sbehind his wife of mass m 2 = 50.0 kg, who is skating at v2 = 4.00 m/s. Instead of passing her, he inadvertently collideswith her. He grabs her around the waist, and they maintaintheir balance. (a) Sketch the problem with before - and - afterdiagrams, representing the skaters as blocks. (b) Is the collisionbest described as elastic, inelastic, or perfectly inelastic? Why?(c) Write the general equation for conservation of momentumin terms of m 1, v 1, m 2, v 2, and final velocity vf . (d) Solve themomentum equation for vf . (e) Substitute values, obtaining thenumerical value for vf , their speed after the collision.
Two train cars on a frictionless track have a completely inelastic collision in which they "couple" together. The car on the left has mass 16.1 tons and velocity 16.1 m/s to the right; the other train has mass 10.8 tons and velocity 13.1 m/s to the left. After the collision, what is the velocity of the pair fo cars? Your answer should be in tons times m/s, but you don't need to write the units, just the number. "To the right" is taken as positive, so make sure you have the sign right. (If your answer is positive, you don't need to write a "+" sign.)
