Two ice skaters, with masses of 50 kg and 75 kg, are at the center of a 60-m-diameter circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink. If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 20 s, how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge?

Ken and Barbie are skating together on a rink at 3.00 m/s. Ken keeps asking Barbie how much she weights. Annoyed, Barbie pushes away from Ken so that she speeds up to 4.0 m/s and he slows down to 2.25 m/s in the same direction. Assuming that the friction is negligible, if Ken's mass is 70 kg, what is Barbie's mass?
Two stationary hockey players push each other so that they move in opposite directions. One player has a mass 38.7 kg and a speed of 2.8 m/s. What is the mass of the other player if her speed is 3.8 m/s ? Neglect friction.
A woman weighing 61.5 kg stands at one end of a 120-kg raft that is 6.00 m long. The other end of the raft is 0.500 m from a pier. So, before the woman moves, she is at a total distance of 6.50 m away from the pier. The woman walks toward the pier until she gets to the other end of the uniform raft and stops there. What is the distance between the uniform raft and the pier?
A 50.0 kg astronaut is standing on a 250.0 kg space capsule. He pushes off from the space capsule with a velocity of 10.0 m/s. How long does it take for him to reach a point 50.0 m away from the space capsule? (Hint: Not 5 seconds!)
Two rail cars roll without friction on a track. The rail cars have different masses. The heavier car is at rest. The lighter car is moving with speed v, hits the heavier car, and sticks to it. The combined two-car system then moves with speed v/5. What is the ratio of masses of the two cars? Ratio = mass of heavier car / mass of lighter car.
A loaded gun is dropped on a frozen lake. The gun fires, with the bullet going horizontally in one direction and the gun sliding on the ice in the other direction. The bullet's mass is 0.04 kg, and its speed is 275 m/s. If the gun's mass is 2.5 kg, what is its speed (in m/s)? m/s
At a time when mining asteroids has become feasible, astronauts have connected a line between their 3070-kg space tug and a 5580-kg asteroid. They pull on the asteroid with a force of 307 N.

A 10.0 kg dog jumps up in the air to catch a ball. The dog's centre of mass is normally 0.2 mabove the ground and he is 0.5 m long. The lowest he can get his centre of mass is 0.12 m above the ground and the highest he can get his centre of mass above the ground before he can no longer push against the ground is 0.30 m. If the maximum force the dog can exert on the ground is 1.9 times the gravitational force the Earth exerts on him, to what height, h, (in m) can he jump above the ground? Enter your answer only (with no units) accurate to two decimal places below. h = Type your answer.
A 68.9 kg woman and her 31 kg son are standing at rest on an ice rink. They push against each other for a time of 0.73 s, causing them to glide apart. (Assume friction is negligible during the push.) The speed of the woman immediately after they separate is 4 m/s.
A 2.50 kg box sits halfway up a 16.0 m long ramp that is inclined at an angle of 16.00. You shove a second box, of mass 1.50 kg, that's at the bottom of the ramp, so that it starts sliding up the ramp with a speed of 20.0 m/s. It hits the first box, sticks to it, and they both continue to slide up the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the boxes and the ramp is 0.200. Where, from the bottom of the ramp, do they come to rest?
In the figure below, the masses of each object are: m₁ 1.00 kg, m₂ = 4.00 kg, m² = 6.00 kg. The labeled distances are: d₁ = 25.0 cm, d₂ = 104 cm, d3 = 60.0 cm (where d is the x distance for the center of the block). The height of each block is h₁ = 19.0,h₂ = 28.0 cm, and the h3 = 12.0 cm. Assume the center of mass for each individual object is at the center of the object. Hint: Consider the final center of mass (x,y) relative to the axes shown in the figure. Note the positions of the boxes relative to the axes and to one another. Determine the positions, x and y, of the center of mass for the system below. Enter to 3 significant figures Center of mass (x, y): ( d1 m1 d3 d2 h1 ✔cm = m3 m2 h2 ✔ cm) 11h3 X
