Consider a system of two particles in the xy-plane.
For the first particle,
Its mass is m₁ = 1.30 kg
Its position is 7¹₁ = (1.202 + 2.203) m
Its velocity is ₁ = (2.2002 + 0.100)) m/s
For the second particle,
Its mass is m₂ = 2.90 kg
Its position is 7¹2 = (-3.60% - 2.403) m
Its velocity is v₂ = (2.2001 - 2.000)) m/s
a. Find the position of the center of mass of the system.
7CM =
im+m
b. Determine the velocity of the center of mass.
UCM = 2 m/s + m/s

A train of mass 9.26e+4 moving with a velocity of magnitude 72.9 hits a car of mass
1.78e+3 at rest. If the train exerts a force of magnitude 1.86e+3 on the car, what is
the magnitude of the force exerted by the car on the train? All quantities are given in
Sl units and the answer should be given as a positive or negative number in SI units.
Only type a number into the answer box, do not type in units.
A loaded gun is dropped on a frozen lake. The gun fires, with the bullet going horizontally in one direction and the qun sliding on the ice in the other direction. The bullet's mass is 0.04 kg, and its
speed is 305 m/s. If the gun's mass is 2.1 kg, what is its speed (in m/s)?
