Jonathan and Jane are sitting in a sleigh that is at rest on frictionless ice. Jonathan’s weight is 800 N, Jane’s weight is 600 N, and that of the sleigh is 1000 N. They see a poisonous spider on the floor of the sleigh and immediately jump off. Jonathan jumps to the left with a velocity of 5.00 m/s at 30.0° above the horizontal (relative to the ice), and Jane jumps to the right at 7.00 m/s at 36.9° above the horizontal (relative to the ice). Calculate the sleigh’s horizontal velocity (magnitude and direction) after they jump out.
A bullet (m = 0.027 kg) is fired with a speed of 92.00 m/s and hits a block (M = 2.20 kg) supported by two light strings, stopping quickly. Find the height h to which the block rises. Find the angle through which the block rises, if the strings are 0.26 m long.
A 9 kg space rock has velocity vector v = 19 i (m/s). It collides with a second 15 kg space rock, which is initially at rest. The second rock is then observed to fly away with a speed of 5 m/s in a direction that is 31 degrees below the horizontal. Calculate the final speed of the first space rock, in m/s.

The initial speed of the Juggernaut is vJi and the initial speed of Colossus is vCi. After the collision, the final speed of the Juggernaut is vJf and the final speed of Colossus is vCf as they each bounce off of the other, heading in opposite directions. a. What is the impulse experienced by the Juggernaut? b. What is the impulse experienced by Colossus? c.

- A magician tosses a ball (m = 0.300 kg) with initial velocity v = 25.0 m/s at a15.0° angle from the horizontal. To ensure that he can follow the ball’s movement, he moves his right handvertically so that it is always at the same height as the ball. After 0.100 seconds, he casts a rubber-likeelastic string from his right hand to instantly grab onto the ball. The string immediately sticks to the balllike gum, but does not impart any momentum onto it. The string then behaves like a spring that is initiallyunstretched, pulling the ball back with a force constant of k = 4.40 × 10−3 N/m. How far from the magicianwill the ball land?arrow_forwardThe mass of a particular eagle is twice that of a hunted pigeon.

- In a baseball game, one of the players graps the ball and lessens the influence of the ball by moving his hand back. The ball touches the player's hand at a speed of 140.4 km/h in the horizontal direction. The ball is 152 gr. The player moves his hand back with an average speed of 8 m/s over 14 cm in the horizontal direction. In this way, the player has caused the ball to stop.
