A worker stands on top of a railroad car moving at constantvelocity and throws a heavy ball straight up (from his pointof view). Ignoring air resistance, explain whether the ballwill land back in his hand or behind him.
A starship blasts past the earth at 2.0 x 108 m/s. Just after passing the earth, the starship fires a laser beam out its back. With what speed does the laser beam approach the earth?
An engineering student throws a calculator straight up to a COVID-quarantined
friend, who is leaning out a window 5.12 m above. The friend catches the calculator
1.43 s later and immediately sanitizes it and her hands.
Taking up as the positive direction, find the calculator's velocity v just before it was
caught.

Bryce tracks his mice's health diligently and just now recorded their masses as m₁ = 0.0145 kg, m2 = 0.0141 kg, m3 = 0.0245 kg, and m4 = 0.0105 kg. At this very instant, the x and y components (Ux, U,) of the mice's velocities are, respectively, (U₁x, U₁₁y) = (0.591 m/s, -0.425 m/s,) (v2.x, U2,y) = (-0.605 m/s, -0.933 m/s,) (v3,x, U3,y) = (0.259 m/s, 0.305 m/s), and (V4x, V4,y) = (-0.211 m/s, 0.569 m/s).

- 13arrow_forwardWe know that the mass of the bagged lunch is m = 1.40 kg and the mass of the astronaut is M = 67.0 kg. Before the collision, the bagged lunch moves with a velocity of vi = 1.60 m/s in the positive x-direction and the astronaut is at rest relative to the space station with velocity Vi = 0. MVi + mvi = MVf + mvf to obtain (67.0 kg)(0 m/s) + (1.40 kg)(1.60 m/s) = (67.0 kg)Vf + (1.40 kg)vf. Because vf = Vf, this further simplifies to (67.0 kg)(0 m/s) + (1.40 kg)(1.60 m/s) = (1.40 kg + 67.0 kg)Vf. What is the velocity of the astronaut after the collision?arrow_forwardSpace probes may be separated from their launchers by exploding bolts. (They bolt away from one another.) Suppose a 5600 kg satellite uses this method to separate from the 1800 kg remains of its launcher, and that 7000 J of kinetic energy is supplied to the two parts. What are their subsequent velocities (in m/s) using the frame of reference in which they were at rest before separation? (Assume the final velocity of the satellite is in the positive direction.
