A skater of mass 72.5 kg initially moves in a straight line at a speed of 4.80 m/s. The skater approaches a child of mass 35.0 kg, whom he lifts on his shoulders. Assuming there are no external horizontal forces, what is the skater's final velocity?
A space probe of mass 5.00 x 104 kg is traveling at 1.10 x 104 m/s through deep space. No forces act on the probe except that generated by its own engine. No forces act on the probe except that generated by its own engine. The engine exerts a constant external force of 4.00 x 105 N, directed parallel to the displacement, which is 2.50 x 106 m. Determine the final velocity of the probe.
A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.530 m/s. The total mass of the sled, man, and rock is 93.0 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.320 kg and the man can throw it with a speed of 16.5 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Determine the speed of the sled (in m/s) if the man throws the rock forward (i.e., in the direction the sled is moving). m/s Determine the speed of the sled (in m/s) if the man throws the rock directly backward. m/s
A small block with mass 0.200 kg is released from rest at the top of a frictionless incline. The block travels a distance 0.508 m down the incline in 2.00 s. The 0.200 kg block is replaced by a 0.400 kg block. If the 0.400 kg block is released from rest at the top of the incline, how far down the incline does it travel in 2.00 s?
A soccer goalkeeper accelerates a ball from rest at a speed of 15 m / s for the time that his foot is in contact with the ball (approximately 0.19 s). If the ball has a mass of 0.44 kg, what average force does the goalkeeper exert on the ball?
An F-150 SuperCrew (m = 2400 kg) travelling on Highway 66 is going at a high rate of speed, 29.0 m/s (65 mi/h). It slams into the back of a City of Gallup utility truck (parked on the shoulder) for a time of 0.87 seconds before stopping. What is the force applied by the F-150 on the utility truck?
A clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg. If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m, how much thrust force did the rockets excert to get him to his final speed? Assume this thrust is constant over the 2.4 m.

A 0.160-kg hockey puck is moving on an icy, frictionless, horizontal surface. At t = 0, the puck is moving to the right at 3.00 m/s. (a) Calculate the velocity of the puck (magnitude and direction) after a force of 25.0 N directed to the right has been applied for 0.050 s. (b) If, instead, a force of 12.0 N directed to the left is applied, how long would it take to stop the puck?
A child with mass of 16.5 kg stands on the edge of a park bench and leaps into the air. Her initial speed is 2.4 m/s directed at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. After 0.28 seconds what is the horizontal component of her velocity in m/s?
A baseball approaches home plate at a speed of 48.0 m/s, moving horizontally just before being hit by a bat. The batter hits a pop-up such that after hitting the bat, the baseball is moving at 57.0 m/s straight up. The ball has a mass of 145 g and is in contact with the bat for 1.60 ms. What is the average vector force the ball exerts on the bat during their interaction? (Let the +x-direction be in the initial direction of motion, and the +y-direction be up.) Fon bat =
