Two joggers, Jim and Tom, are both running at a speed of 4.20 m/s (see the figure). Jim has a mass of 81.0 kg, and Tom has a mass of 55.0 kg. Find (a) the kinetic energy and (b) the momentum of the two-jogger system when Jim and Tom are both running due north as in part a of the figure. Find (c) the kinetic energy and (d) the momentum of the two-jogger system when Jim is running due north and Tom is running due south, as in part b of the figure.

A 4.41-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +354 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (see part a of the drawing). The bullet is approaching two blocks resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible. The bullet passes completely through the first block (an inelastic collision) and embeds itself in the second one, as indicated in part b. Note that both blocks are moving after the collision with the bullet. The mass of the first block is 1199 g, and its velocity is +0.644 m/s after the bullet passes through it. The mass of the second block is 1576 g . (a) What is the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself? (b) Find the ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision. (a) Before collision (b) After collision (a) vblock2 = Number Units (b) KEafter/KEbefore = Number Units
