A 20 kg child is sliding at 3 m/s across a frictionless frozen pond a -45 degrees relative to the x-axis, straight towards a dangerous hole in the ice. A physics professor is out for a stroll when he spots the child in peril and heroically launches herself across the ice at 30 degrees relative to the x-axis to intercept the child.
Required:
a. If the physics professor weighs 78.9 kg and launches herself across the ice with a velocity of 5 m/s. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the duo after the professor has grabbed the child?
b. At what angle (relative to the +x axis) with the duo be sliding after the rescue? Give an angle in degrees measured counter-clockwise from the x axis.

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 152 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 34.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 137 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

A250-n box is at rest on a frictionless horizotal floor. then a person shoves the box with a non-zero force of magnitude p. which statement best describes the relationship betweeen p and the motion of the box after it was shoved? -the box will not move when p< 250n but otherwise will accelerate at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p - the box will begin moving at a speed that is directly proportional to p, then will gradually slow to a halt -the box will move with constant velocity at a speed that is directly proportional to p -box will accelerate across the floor at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p
