Two ice skaters, starting from rest, hold onto the ends of a 10m pole. A 40-kig player is at one end of the pole and a 60-kg player is at the other end. The players then start pulling themselves themselves along the pole towards each other while sliding without friction on the ice. If the two skaters continue past each other after they meet, what distance will the 60-kg player have moved with respect to the ice when the skaters have exchanged positions with respect to each other? Please clearly explain each step. I know it has something to do with the center of mass not moving. But why does the center of mass not move? Please explain.
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?
A person carries a plank of wood 2.00 m long with one hand pushing it down at one end with a force F1 and the other hand holding it up with a force F2 at a distance of 0.500 m from the same end of the plank. If the plank has mass 20.0 kg and the center of mass of the plank is in the middle of the plank, what are the magnitudes of the forces F1 and F2? a. F1 = 392.4 N, F2 = 196.2 N b. F1 = 392.4 N, F2 = 392.4 N c. F1 = 196.2 N, F2 = 392.4 N d. F1 = 196.2 N, F2 = 196.2 N
2. The figure shows a mobile of toys hanging from a ceiling. The black vertical lines represent wires from which crossbars are hung. The red crossbar has its left and right arms in equal length while the blue crossbars have right arms that are twice the length of their left arms. The crossbars are all horizontal and they themselves as well as the wires have negligible mass. Toy 1 has mass m = 1 kg. What are the masses m2, m3, m4, and m5 of toys 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively? toy 1 toy 2 toy3 toy4 toy5
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?
A wooden stick, 1.00 meters in length has a mass of 213 g. There are masses located on this wood stick: 253 g at 44.9 cm, 191 g at 81.9 cm, and 209 g at 97.9 cm. Where on this wooden stick would you need to suspend the stick for it to be in balance?
Chapter 12, Problem 012 In the figure, a man is trying to get his car out of mud on the shoulder of a road. He ties one end of a rope tightly around the front bumper and the other end tightly around a utility pole 18 m away. He then pushes sideways on the rope at its midpoint with a force of 470 N, displacing the center of the rope 0.42 m from its previous position, and the car barely moves. What is the magnitude of the force on the car from the rope? (The rope stretches somewhat.)

A uniform rod is set up so that it can rotate about an axis at perpendicular to one of its ends. The length and mass of the rod are 0.877 m0.877 m and 1.23 kg1.23 kg , respectively. A force of constant magnitude ?F acts on the rod at the end opposite the rotation axis. The direction of the force is perpendicular to both the rod's length and the rotation axis. Calculate the value of ?F that will accelerate the rod from rest to an angular speed of 6.61 rad/s6.61 rad/s in 8.07 s8.07 s .
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?

A woman weighing 57.1 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 construction workers carry a 2.8 m long wooden beam on their shoulders. It is horizontal while they carry it. One worker is at the end of the beam and the other is standing 2.6 m away from the first worker. The beam has a mass of 190 kg. a. Do the workers exert the same amount of force on the beam? You can just use intuition on this one. No math is required.
