At a county fair, two children ram each other head on while riding on the bumper car attraction. Jill and her car, traveling left at 3.50 m/s, have a total mass of 325 kg. Jack and his car, traveling to the right at 2.00 m/s, have a total mass of 290 kg. Assuming the collision to be elastic, determine their velocities after the collision.

Two children (m = 28.0 kg each) stand opposite each other on the edge of a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round, which has a mass of 1.62 ✕ 102 kg and a radius of 1.2 m, is spinning at a constant rate of 0.48 rev/s. Treat the two children and the merry-go-round as a system. (a) Calculate the angular momentum of the system, treating each child as a particle. (Give the magnitude.) kg · m2/s (b) Calculate the total kinetic energy of...

Two 1.0 metric ton cars crash into each other. Both collide head-on, and each was travelling 27 mi/hr when the collision occurred. The wreckage is at rest after the collision. How much thermal energy was gained by the cars and road in the collision? (in case you are worried, these were driverless vehicles with no passengers inside! Recall that a 100 W lightbulb uses up 100 Joules of energy in 1 second. If there was a way that the thermal...

Bart and Nelson challenged each other to a bumper car game. Bart, whose car had a mass of 120 kg (with him in it), traveled west at a velocity of 9 m/s. Nelson and his car had a total mass of 150 kg traveled a velocity of 7 m/s east, heading towards Bart. The two had a head-on collision. Use the frame of reference in which the east is positive. a) If Bart left the collision at a velocity of...

Two skydivers are holding on to each other while falling straight down at a common terminal speed of 63.10 m/s. Suddenly, they push away from each other. Immediately after separation, the first skydiver (who has a mass of 89.30 kg) has the following velocity components (with "straight down" corresponding to the positive z-axis): v1x=4.93 m/s v1y=3.75 m/s v1z=63.1 m/s What are the x- and y-components of the velocity of the second skydiver, whose mass is 57.70 kg, immediately after separation?...

At the county 4th of July fair, a local strong man challenges contestants two at a time to a tug-of-war contest. Contestant A can tug with a force of 350 pounds. Contestant B can tug with a force of 280 pounds. The angle between the ropes of the two contestants is 45 degrees. With how much force must the local strong man tug so that the rope does not move? The answer that I've been getting for this question is...

A player tosses a fair coin n times. Each time, if the coin lands on Head, the player win a dollar, otherwise, the player loses a dollar. What is the expected earning of the player? What is the variance of the earning of the player? Now the player apply a new strategy: the player will play the game until he gets a head. What is the expected earning of the new strategy? Does the result depend on n?
