A knife thrower throws a knife toward a 300 g target that is sliding in her direction at a speed of 2.05 m/s on a horizontal frictionless surface. She throws a 22.5 g knife at the target with a speed of 36.0 m/s. The target is stopped by the impact and the knife passes through the target. Determine the speed of the knife (in m/s) after passing through the target. m/s

A girl, moving at 8 m/s on in-line skates, is overtaking a boy moving at 5 m/s as they both skate on a straight path. The boy losses a ball backward toward the girl, giving it speed 12 m/s relative to him. What is the speed of the ball relative to the girl, who catches it? (a) (8 + 5 + 12) m/s (b) (8 - 5 - 12) m/s (c) (8 + 5 - 12) m/s (d) (8 5 + 12) m/s (e) (8 + 5 + 12) m/s
A. If you catch the ball, with what speed do you and the ball move afterwards? B. If the ball hits you and bounces off your chest so that afterward it is moving horizontally at 8.25 m/s in the opposite direction, what is your speed after the collision?
4. The magnitude and direction of the velocities of two identical A frictionless balls before they strike each other are as shown. m m Assuming e = 0.8, determine the magnitude and direction of the velocity of each ball after the impact. 30 60° VA =9 m/s VB = 12 m/s
Kyle, a 95.0 kg football player, leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.430 kg ball precisely at the peak of his jump, when he is 0.437 meters off the ground. He hits the ground 0.0307 meters away from where he leapt. If the ball was moving horizontally when it was caught, how fast was the ball traveling? ball's speed: m/s
A 1500kg sport car is moving westbound at 20m/s on a level road when it collided with a 4000kg truck driving east on the same road at 15m/s. The two vehicles remain locked together after the collision. a)what are is the magnitude of the velocity of the two vehicles just after the collision?
a)If Olaf catches the ball, with what speed vf do Olaf and the ball move afterward? Express your answer numerically in meters per second. b) If the ball hits Olaf and bounces off his chest horizontally at 8.30 m/sm/s in the opposite direction, what is his speed vf after the collision? Express your answer numerically in meters per second.

A ball-launching machine launches a ball of 500 g toward the wall at 10.0 m/s at 30.0° above the horizontal. It hits the wall and bounces back until it falls a distance S from the wall. The coefficient of restitution between the ball and the wall is 0.5. Determine: a. The speed at which the ball hits the wall.b. The speed at which the ball rebounds from the wall.c. The distance S at which the ball falls measured from the wall.
Flying Circus of Physics The high-speed winds around a tornado can drive projectiles into trees, building walls, and even metal traffic signs. In a laboratory simulation, a standard wood toothpick was shot by pneumatic gun into an oak branch. The toothpick mass was 0.140 g, its speed before entering the branch was 217 m/s, and its penetration depth was 18.0 mm. If its speed was decreased at a uniform rate, what was the magnitude of the force of the branch on the toothpick? Number i Units ◊
A baseball with a mass of 0.15 kg is batted into the air. It's initial speed is 35.8 m/s directed at an angle 28 degrees above the horizontal. After 0.19 seconds what is the horizontal component of the balls velocity in m/s?
