Mary slides down a snow-covered hill on a large piece of cardboard and then slides across a frozen pond at a constant velocity of +2.5 m/s. After Mary has reached the bottom of the hill and is sliding across the ice, Sue runs after her at a velocity of +4.4 m/s and hops on the cardboard. How fast (in m/s) do the two of them slide across the ice together on the cardboard? Mary's mass is 68 kg and Sue's is 58 kg. Ignore the mass of the cardboard and any friction between the cardboard and the snow and/or ice. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s

You can perform a popular trick by dropping any peso bill (Ex. 500 peso bill )lengthwise through the thumb and forefinger of a classmate. Tell your classmate to grab the peso bill as fast as possible and he/she can keep the money if he/she catches it. The length of the peso bill is 15.7 cm and the average human reaction time is about 0.20 s. Will your classmate catch the bill and keep the money?
A bullet in a gun is accelerated from rest from the firing chamber to the end of the barrel at an average rate of 6.25 × 105 m/s2 for 8.3 × 10-4 s. What is the gun’s muzzle velocity (that is, the bullet’s final speed), in meters per second?
Two friends are tossing balls from the main floor of the auditorium to the balcony. One person stands exactly 4.0 m above the other person, and both release and catch the balls at the same height above their feet. The balls are always caught on their way down. The boy on the main floor releases his ball with an initial velocity of 25 m/s [up]. With what velocity should the girl on the balcony throw her ball at the same moment, so that both balls will be caught by the other person at exactly the same time
This time particle A starts from rest and ac- celerates to the right at 72.5 cm/s. Particle B starts 349 cm down the track and moves at a constant velocity of 51.5 cm/s to the left. When will they meet? Answer in units of s.
Bob proposed Alice to a marriage on the very top of a 30m building. Alice said yes. Bob then put the ring on Alice’s finger. Alice was very happy. She threw her hands up in the air. Unfortunately, the ring slipped from her finger and fell down due to gravity.Bob set up a camera to record the moment. Thus, he look at the footage and determine that the ring was going out of Alice’s hand with speed of vi =10m/s at an angle of θ=30 . The dimension of the building is given below. (a) If the ring were to land on the terrace, how long would it take?(b) If the ring were to land on the Lawn, how long would it take?(c) Where should Bob search for the ring? Terrace or lawn? An answer with no support reasoning will recieve no credit.
Standing on the edge of a cliff that is 800 m above the ground. You take a stone and throw it straight up imparting the stone with an initial velocity of 8.30 m/s (UP). What is the velocity of the stone 10 seconds after you throw it up? Air resistance doesn't have an effect
I had a dream last night that I was chased by my teddy bear. In my dream, I was sleepwalking at a constant velocity of 60ft/sec. At exactly 4:00 am I noticed my teddy bear standing 1000 feet behind me. At that instant I began to accelerate at 10 ft/sec/sec and the teddy bear began to accerlate after me at 12 ft/sec/sec. At the moment the bear caught up to me, I woke from my dream in a cold sweat. To the nearest second, What time was this?
