Two figure skaters are coasting in the same direction, with the leading skater moving at 5.5 m/s and the trailing skating moving at 6.2 m/s. When the trailing skater catches up with the leading skater, he picks her up without applying any horizontal forces on his skates. If the trailing skater is 50 heavier than the 50-kg leading skater, what is their speed after he picks her up?
How much fuel would be needed for a 1000-kg rocket (this is its mass with no fuel) to take off from Earth and reach 1000 m/s in 30 s? The exhaust speed is 1000 m/s.
A ball of mass 250 g is thrown with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 30 with the horizontal direction. Ignore air resistance. What is the momentum of the ball after 0.2 s? (Do this problem by finding the components of the momentum first, and then constructing the magnitude and direction of the momentum vector from the components.)
This is a symbolic version of Problem 23. A girl of mass mG is standing on a plank of mass mp. Both are originally at rest on a frozen lake that constitutes a frictionless, flat surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity vGP to the right relative to the plank. (The subscript GP denotes the girl relative to plank.) (a) What is the velocity vPI of the plank relative to the surface of the ice? (b) What is the girls velocity vGI relative to the ice surface?
A rocket has total mass Mi = 360 kg, including Mfuel = 330 kg of fuel and oxidizer. In interstellar space, it starts from rest at the position x = 0, turns on its engine at time t = 0, and puts out exhaust with relative speed ve = 1 500 m/s at the constant rate k = 2.50 kg/s. The fuel will last for a burn time of Tb = Mfuel/k = 330 kg/(2.5 kg/s) = 132 s. (a) Show that during the burn the velocity of the rocket as a function of time is given by v(t)=veln(1ktMi) (b) Make a graph of the velocity of the rocket as a function of time for times running from 0 to 132 s. (c) Show that the acceleration of the rocket is a(t)=kveMikt (d) Graph the acceleration as a function of time. (c) Show that the position of the rocket is x(t)=ve(Mikt)ln(1ktMi)+vet (f) Graph the position during the burn as a function of time.
A model rocket engine has an average thrust of 5.26 N. It has an initial mass of 25.5 g, which includes fuel mass of 12.7 g. The duration of its burn is 1.90 s. (a) What is the average exhaust speed of the engine? (b) This engine is placed in a rocket body of mass 53.5 g. What is the final velocity of the rocket if it were to be fired from rest in outer space by an astronaut on a spacewalk? Assume the fuel burns at a constant rate.
A space probe, initially at rest, undergoes an internal mechanical malfunction and breaks into three pieces. One piece of mass ml = 48.0 kg travels in the positive x-direction at 12.0 m/s, and a second piece of mass m2 = 62.0 kg travels in the xy-plane at an angle of 105 at 15.0 m/s. The third piece has mass m3 = 112 kg. (a) Sketch a diagram of the situation, labeling the different masses and their velocities, (b) Write the general expression for conservation of momentum in the x- and y-directions in terms of m1, m2, m3, v1, v2 and v3 and the sines and cosines of the angles, taking to be the unknown angle, (c) Calculate the final x-components of the momenta of m1 and m2. (d) Calculate the final y-components of the momenta of m1 and m2. (e) Substitute the known momentum components into the general equations of momentum for the x- and y-directions, along with the known mass m3. (f) Solve the two momentum equations for v3 cos and v3 sin , respectively, and use the identity cos2 + sin2 = 1 to obtain v3. (g) Divide the equation for v3 sin by that for v3 cos to obtain tan , then obtain the angle by taking the inverse tangent of both sides, (h) In general, would three such pieces necessarily have to move in the same plane? Why?
An astronaut out on a spacewalk to construct a new section of the International Space Station walks with a constant velocity of 2.00 m/s on a flat sheet of metal placed on a flat, frictionless, horizontal honeycomb surface linking the two parts of the station.

What is the speed of the astronaut relative to the honeycomb surface?
A0.3 kg ball on a rail is rolled down an incline, and then rolls across a table on a horizontal rail. It leaves the rail, and strikes the floor. Assume friction on the rail is negligible. A student finds that it takes 0.055 seconds to pass through a pair of photogates that are 0.183 m apart. The edge of the rail is 1.11 m above the floor. Find the horizontal velocity of the ball as it passes through the photogates. m/s How long does it take to hit the ground after leaving the rail? How far away from the edge of the table should a student place a coin so that the ball would hit the coin? m
A 0.8 kg block of wood is sliding across a floor at 2 m/s when a half-gram nail from a nail gun travelling 67 m/s horizontally at an angle 35° relative to the direction of the block embeds itself into the wood. (So, the 35° angle is with respect to the x-axis, with x and y both being in the horizontal plane.) (a) What would be the velocity of the block/nail system just after impact? Find also the magnitude and direction of the velocity. Assume that the impact is so fast that friction between the block and the floor can be ignored. (b) How much energy was lost during this collision?
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.

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.
