A 73.0 kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150 kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 39.0 m/s. Suppose the goalie and the ice puck have an elastic collision and the puck is reflected back in the direction from which it came. What would their final velocities (in m/s) be in this case? (Assume the original direction of the ice puck toward the goalie is in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
Puck: ____
Goalie: ____

A 62.5 kg skier is moving at 6.15 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal snow-covered plateau when she encounters a rough patch 4.00 m long. The coefficient of kinetic friction between this patch and her skis is 0.320. After crossing the rough patch and returning to friction-free snow, she skis down an icy, frictionless hill 3.35 m high.
A)How fast is the skier moving when she gets to the bottom of the hill?
BHow much internal energy was generated in crossing the rough patch?

Use Gauss's law to prove that the electric field outside any spherically symmetric charge distribution is the same as if all of the charge were concentrated into a point charge at the center of the sphere. Then use Gauss's law to prove that the electric field inside a spherically symmetric conductor carrying a net charge on its surface is zero.

Ok the question asks
Know the definitions for the following terms(writing the equation/formula only is not enough):
Magnetic Flux
Faraday's Law
Lenz's Law
It asks for all 3 and again just writing equation/formula is not enough.

A red car and a blue car are driving in the same direction on the interstate. The red car is travelling at 25 m/s, while the blue car is travelling at 35 m/s. The driver of the blue car is not paying attention and rear-ends the red car. The red car has a mass of 2,000 kg while the blue car is only 1,000 kg.
A Prior to the collision, what is the value of the center of mass kinetic energy?
B. In order for this collision to be isolated, what is the maximum amount of energy that can be converted to other forms during the collision? What percentage of the initial kinetic energy does this represent?
C. If the system loses 40% of its kinetic energy in the collision, is the system isolated? Why or why not?
D. Prior to the collision, how fast and in what direction would you need to be travelling in order for the system to appear to have zero momentum?
E. Regardless of your answer to part (c), assume now that the two vehicles form an isolated system. If they cars stick together, how fast will they be moving?
F. What minimum amount of kinetic energy must be conserved in order to conserve the momentum of the system?
