A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total mass of the wagon, rider, and rock is 99 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.28 kg. Initially the wagon is rolling forward at a speed of 0.45 m/s. Then the person throws the rock with a speed of 16 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Find the speed of the wagon after the rock is thrown (a) directly forward in one case and (b) directly backward in another.

A 65.0-kg person throws a 0.045 kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 30.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 60.0 kg, catches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.50 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Assume that the friction between the skates and the ice is negligible.

A girl of mass 30.9 kg stands on the rim of a frictionless merry-go-round of radius 0.714 m and rotational inertia 365 kgĀ·m2 that is not moving. She throws a rock of mass 513 g horizontally in a direction that is tangent to the outer edge of the merry-go-round. The speed of the rock, relative to the ground, is 4.33 m/s. Afterward, what are (a) the angular speed of the merry-go-round and (b) the linear speed of the girl?

A 67.0 kg person throws a 0.0410 kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 29.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 60.0 kg, catches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.50 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Disregard the friction between the skates and the ice
