4P. A father racing his son has half the kinetic energy of the son, who has half the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.0 m/s and then has the same kinetic energy as the son. What are the original speeds of (a) the father and (b) the son? At. To pull a 50 kg crate across a horizontal frictionless floor, a worker applies a force of 210 N, directed 20° above the horizontal. As the crate moves 3.0 m, what work is done on the crate by (a) the worker’s force, (b) the gravitational force on the crate, and (c) the normal force on the crate from the floor? (d) What is the total work done on the crate? ssm 3iE. A 100 kg block is pulled at a constant speed of 5.0 m/s across ~ a horizontal floor by an applied force of 122 N directed 37° above the horizontal. What is the rate at which the force does work on the block? ssm_ ilw 2IE. Suppose that your mass is 80 kg. How fast would you have to Tun to have the same linear momentum as a 1600 kg car moving at 1.2 km/h? A 91 kg man lying on a surface of negligible friction shoves a 68 g stone away from him, giving it a speed of 4.0 m/s. What velocity does the man acquire as a result? ssm 28E. Two blocks of masses 1.0 kg and 3.0 kg are connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities toward each other such that the 1.0 kg block travels initially at 1.7 m/s toward the center of mass, which remains at rest. What is the initial velocity of the other block?
