Lock X of mass M slides across a horizontal surface where friction is negligible. Block X collides with block Y of mass 2M that is initially at rest, as shown in Figure 1. After the collision, both blocks slide together with a speed vs , as shown in Figure 2. What is the kinetic energy of the two-block system before the collision?

Aferris wheel is a vertical, circular amusement ride with radius 9 m. riders sit on seats that swivel to remain horizontal. the ferris wheel rotates at a constant rate, going around once in 9 s. consider a rider whose mass is 56 kg. at the bottom of the ride, what is the perpendicular component of the rate of change of the rider's momentum? at the bottom of the ride, what is the vector force exerted by the seat on the rider?

Contrast the force of gravity between these pairs of objects a 1 kg mass and a 2 kg mass that are 1 m apart and two 2 kg masses that are 1 m apart
