Olaf is standing on a sheet of ice that covers the football stadium parking lot in Buffalo, New York; there is negligible friction between his feet and the ice. A friend throws Olaf a ball of mass 0.400 that is traveling horizontally at 11.5 . Olaf's mass is 73.7 kg. If Olaf catches the ball, with what speed do Olaf and the ball move afterward? If the ball hits Olaf and bounces off his chest horizontally at 8.70 in the opposite direction, what is his speed after the collision?

Find the resulting surface charge density : Space vehicles traveling through Earth's radiation belts can intercept a significant number of electrons. The resulting charge buildup can damage electronic components and disrupt operations. Suppose a spherical metallic satellite 1.3 m in diamete..

Assuming that terrain is level-that air drag is negligible : A shell is shot with an initial velocity of 29 m/s, at an angle of ?0 = 62° with the horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass (see the figure). One fragment, whose speed immediately after the explo..

Gas station on the other side of the valley : A 1500 car traveling at 11 suddenly runs out of gas while approaching the valley shown in the figure. The alert driver immediately puts the car in neutral so that it will roll. What will be the car’s speed as it coasts into the gas station on the oth..
