Two men (A & B), having weights of 120.0 lbs. and 150.0 lbs. , respectively, stand on a 300.0 lb. cart initially at rest. Each runs at a speed of 5.0 ft/s relative to the cart. Determine the speed of the cart if man A runs and jumps off, causing the cart to move with man B, and then man B jumps off the same end.

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
