The figure shows two 24.8 kg ice sleds that are placed a short distance apart, one directly behind the other. A 3.96 kg cat initially standing on one sled jumps to the other one and then back to the first. Both jumps are made at a speed of 2.77 m/s relative to the ice. What are the final speeds of (a) the first sled and (b) the other sled?

The figure shows a two-ended "rocket" that is initially stationary on a frictionless floor, with its center at the origin of an x axis. The rocket consists of a central block C (of mass M = 6.00 kg) and blocks L and R (each of mass m = 1.60 kg) on the left and right sides. Small explosions can shoot either of the side blocks away from block C and along the x axis. Here is the sequence: (1) At time t = 0, block L is shot to the left with a speed of 2.90 m/s relative to the velocity that the explosion gives the rest of the rocket. (2) Next, at time t = 0.70 s, block R is shot to the right with a speed of 2.90 m/s relative to the velocity that block C then has (after the second explosion). At t = 3.10 s, what are (a) the velocity of block C (including sign) and (b) the position of its center?

A copper rod of mass m = 0.963 kg rests on two horizontal rails a distance L = 1.07 m apart and carries a current of i = 53.0 A from one rail to the other. A top view and a side view are shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between rod and rails is μ = 0.680. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to the vertical) of the smallest magnetic field that puts the rod on the verge of sliding? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

A lumberjack (mass = 107 kg) is standing at rest on one end of a floating log (mass = 214 kg) that is also at rest. The lumberjack runs to the other end of the log, attaining a velocity of +3.45 m/s relative to the shore, and then hops onto an identical floating log that is initially at rest. Neglect any friction and resistance between the logs and the water. (a) What is the velocity of the first log (again relative to the shore) just before the lumberjack jumps off? (b) Determine the velocity of the second log (again relative to the shore) if the lumberjack comes to rest relative to the second log. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
