Drag each tile to the correct box.
Adam takes a bus on a school field trip. The bus route is split into the five legs listed in the table. Find the average velocity for each leg of the trip.
Then arrange the legs of the trip from highest velocity to lowest.

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!

Aperson stands on a platform, initially at rest, that can rotate freely without friction. the moment of inertia of the person plus the platform is ip. the person holds a spinning bicycle wheel with its axis horizontal. the wheel has moment of inertia iw and angular velocity ωw. take the ωw direction counterclockwise when viewed from above. part a what will be the angular velocity ωp of the platform if the person moves the axis of the wheel so that it points vertically upward?

Alfred pushes on a heavy box, but cannot move it. the box has a lot of inertia motion friction gravity
