The skiing duo of Brian (77 kg ) and Ashley (54 kg ) is always a crowd pleaser. In one routine, Brian, wearing wood skis, starts at the top of a 230-mm-long, 20∘∘ slope. Ashley waits for him halfway down. As he skis past, she leaps into his arms and he carries her the rest of the way down. Hint: Use coefficient of kinetic friction from Table 6.1 in the textbook.
wood on snow kinetic friction is 0.06
What is their speed at the bottom of the slope?

An ambulance drives towards you as you are walking down the street. As it drives towards you, you hear the sound of its siren at a frequency of 3255 Hz. After it passes, you hear the sound of its siren at a frequency of 2782 Hz as it is driving away. How fast was the ambulance driving? Recall that the speed of sound in air is v_sound = 767 mph.

(section 11-6; 11-7 in 3rd edition) A windmill with moment of inertia I is not rotating until a passing eagle grabs on to the top of it with her talons as she flies by. The "system" of interest is the eagle plus the blades of the windmill. Check all the statements that are true. All angular momentum is to be calculated relative to the center (pivot) of the windmill.
Group of answer choices
There is no angular momentum until the bird and wheel start spinning.
Linear momentum has been converted to angular momentum.
Linear momentum has been absorbed by the Earth.
There is more kinetic energy after the grab than before.
There is less kinetic energy after the grab than before.
There is more angular momentum after the grab than before.
There is less angular momentum after the grab than before.

A thin, uniform disk with mass M and radius R is pivoted about a fixed point a distance x from the center of mass. The disk rotates around the fixed point, with the axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of the disk. What is the period as a function of x, M, R, and acceleration due to gravity (g), and what is the distance x that gives the smallest period?

Two astronauts, Hans and Dexter, are on a spacewalk, floating at rest next to their space vehicle. They argue and Hans shoots Dexter with a handgun. The bullet has a mass of 15 grams and a muzzle velocity of 250 m/s. Hans now finds himself drifitng away from the spacecraft.
a. Hans and his spacecraft have a mass of 200kg, how fast is he drifting away?
b. Hans only had one bullet, but he is holding a gun of mass 1.1 kg. How fast must he throw it to stop drifting away from the spacecraft?
c. Meanwhile, on Earth, a solid cylinder of mass 5 kg rolls without slipping toward a hll with a velocity of 5 m/s. How high up the hill will the cylinder roll?
d. The bullet lodges in Dexter, who can be thought of as a long thin rod of length 2 m and mass 200kg. It lodges .8m above his center of mass. What are his linear and angular velocity as he drifts away into space?

After the Chernobyl nuclear accident, the Pripyat River in Ukraine received 5.0 ×1011 Bq yr?1 of 90Sr from around the Chernobyl nuclear plant through runoff water and groundwater seepage, totaling 1.0 × 107 m3 yr?1 of the effluent discharge. The Pripyat River width under a normal (mean annual) flow condition is 200 m. The nearest resident is living at the town of Chernobyl, which is 10 km downstream on the same (south) side of the river as the nuclear plant. Determine the 90Sr concentration in the river at the town of Chernobyl.

A puck with a mass m1 = 28.0 g moving at 1.00 m/s approaches a stationary puck with a mass m2 = 102 g on an air table and they undergo a two-dimensional elastic collision. As a result of their interaction, the incident puck moves away with a speed v1 = 0.785 m/s and the other puck moves away with a speed v2 in a different direction. What is the angle between the velocities v1 and v2 ?
Explain please!!!

1. Real heat engines, like the gasoline engine in a car, always have some friction
between their moving parts, although lubricants keep the friction to a minimum. Would a
heat engine with completely frictionless parts be 100% efficient? Why or why not? Does the
answer depend on whether or not the engine runs on the Carnot cycle? Again, why or why
not?
2.Some critics of biological evolution claim that it violates the second law of thermo-
dynamics, since evolution involves simple life forms developing into more complex and more
highly ordered organisms. Explain why this is not a valid arguement against evolution.
