Two ice skaters, with masses of 54 kg and 70.2 kg, are at the center of a 69.27m diameter circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to the opposite edges of the rink. If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 16 s, how long does it take for the lighter skater to reach the edge?

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?
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?
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 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?
F A B D three blocks are in contact with each other and their masses are: m (A) = 44.4 kg, m (B) = 34.4 kg, m (C) = 24.4 kg, and m (D) = 14.4 kg. Block A is being pushed by a horizontal F = 500 N as shown. All the four boxes are moving together. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and floor is 0.050. What is the magnitude of the force that block C exerts on block D? (q1245) a) 061.2 N b) 0500.0 N c) 054.2 N d) 0442.4 N
Santiago and Ramón are standing 20.0 m apart on the slippery surface of an icy pond. Ramón has a mass of 60.0 kg, and Santiago has a mass of 90.0 kg. Halfway between them is a jar of your favorite drink. The two of them pull on the ends of a light rope between them. When Santiago has moved 6.0 m towards the jar, how much and in what direction has Ramón moved?
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.

James (mass 90.0 kg) and Ramon (mass 60.0 kg) are 20.0 m apart on a frozen pond. Midway between them is a mug of their favorite beverage. They pull on the ends of a light rope stretched between them. When James has moved 6.0 m toward the mug, how far and in what direction has Ramon moved?
An M1 Garand rifle has a 0.610 m long barrel. When fired, a bullet with a mass of 11.0 g accelerates from rest and exits the barrel at a speed of 850 m/s. What is the net force on the bullet (in N) while it is in the barrel?
