A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total mass of the wagon, rider, and rock is 97.5 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.317 kg. Initially the wagon is rolling forward at a speed of 0.460 m/s. Then the person throws the rock with a speed of 16.3 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Find the speed of the wagon after the rock is thrown (a) directly forward in one case and (b) directly backward in another.

A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.490 m/s. The total mass of the sled, man, and rock is 97.5 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.320 kg and the man can throw it with a speed of 17.0 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...

A 69.5-kg person throws a 0.0445-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 35.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 57.0 kg, catches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.60 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Disregard the friction between the skates and the ice. (Take the direction the snowball...

A child of mass 31kg is standing on a parade wagon (empty mass M=120kg), which is loaded with 600 gift baskets, each with a mass of 500.g. She throws the baskets off the side one at a time, such that they leave in a horizontal direction, making an angle of 59° with the length of the wagon. There are no frictional losses between the wagon and the road, and the wagon can move only forward and backward. The wagon is...

A 58.0- kg person holding two 0.850- kg bricks stands on a 2.70- kg skateboard. Initially, the skateboard and the person are at rest. The person now throws the two bricks at the same time so that their speed relative to the person is 15.0 m/s . Part A What is the recoil speed of the person and the skateboard relative to the ground, assuming the skateboard moves without friction? v v = m/s

A wagon containing two boxes of gold and having a mass of 400 Kg altogether has been cut loose from the horses by an outlaw when the wagon is up on slope as in the sketch. Assume that the wagon rolls down the road with negligible friction. The outlaw plans to have the wagon rolls back down the slope and across the level ground and then crash into a canyon where his confederates wait. But in a tree L =...

Two friends want to place a heavy box (20 kg) that is sitting on the ground into the back of a moving truck, which is 1.2 m above the ground. They have three different approaches; for each of these possibilities, calculate the amount of work they will have to do, as well as the change in the gravitational potential energy of the box: (a) place the box on a dolly and roll it up a ramp into the back of...
