3 Ben (55 kg) is standing on very slippery ice when Junior (25 kg) bumps into him. Junior was moving at a speed of 8 m/s before the collision and Ben and Junior embrace after the collision. Find the speed of Ben and Junior as they move across the ice after the collision. Give the answer in m/s. Describe the work you did to get the answer.

A box of mass M is pushed a distance L across a level floor by a constant applied force P. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is μ. Assuming the box starts from rest, express the final velocity vf of the box in terms of M, L, P, μ, and g.

A child m = 30 kg runs at vi = 5 m/s tangentially to a small playground merry-go-round, aiming at the edge with idea of jumping on and spinning around. The merry-go-round has mass 80 kg, radius 1m, and can be modeled as a thin solid disk.
1. What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the child jumps on?
2. After the merry-go-round turns through 270◦ , the child jumps off the merry-go-round radially and tumbles away at vf = 0.75 m/s. What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the child jumps off?
3. What force was applied to allow the child to change his or her linear momentum (comparing before and after interacting with the merry-go-round)?

A football player runs for a distance d1 = 8.55 m in 1.33 s, at an angle of θ = 62.1degrees to the 50-yard line, then turns left and runs a distance d2 = 10.68 m in 2.19 s, in a direction perpendicular to the 50-yard line. The diagram shows these two displacements relative to an xy coordinate system, where the x axis is parallel to the 50-yard line, and the y axis is perpendicular to the 50-yard line. What angle, in degrees, does the displacement make with the y axis? (Note that the angle θ was given as measured from the x axis rather than the y axis.)

Originally, light is unpolarized. It then travels through 3 polarizers: the first with its transmission axis aligned vertical, the next at a 30 degree angle to the vertical and the last aligned at a 45 degree angle to the vertical (tilted the same direction as the first with respect to the vertical). The original intensity of light is 4 W/m2.
1-What is the intensity of light after the second polarizer?
2-What is the intensity of light after the third polarizer?
3-If the second polarizer is aligned at a 45 degree angle to the vertical (just like the third), what is the final intensity of light after the third polarizer?
4- If the second polarizer is aligned at a 45 degree angle to the vertical (but in the other direction), what is the final intensity of light after the third polarizer?
