Aspring is compressed between two cars on a frictionless airtrack. car a has four times the mass of car b, ma = 4 mb, while the spring’s mass is negligible. both cars are initially at rest. when the spring is released, it pushes them away from each other. which of the following statements correctly describes the velocities, the momenta, and the kinetic energies of the two cars after the spring is released? note: velocities and momenta are given below as vectors.

Henry, whose mass is 95 kg, stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator. the scale reads 830 n for the first 2.4 s after the elevator starts moving, then 930 n for the next 2.4 s. part a what is the elevator's speed 4.8 s after starting? express your answer with the appropriate units.

Atennis player used a tennis racket to hit a tennis ball with a mass of 0.25 kg with a force of 5.25 newtons. how does the force the tennis racket exerted on the tennis ball compare with the force the tennis ball exerted on the tennis racket? a. the force of the tennis racket on the tennis ball is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force the tennis ball exerted on the tennis racket. b. the force of the tennis racket on the tennis ball is equal in magnitude and in the same direction as the force the tennis ball exerted on the tennis racket. c. the force of the tennis racket on the tennis ball is less in magnitude and in the same direction as the force the tennis ball exerted on the tennis racket. d. the force of the tennis racket on the tennis ball is greater in magnitude and opposite in direction as the force the tennis ball exerted on the tennis racket.

Determine the force the sun exerts on an object with a mass of 80.0 kg if that object is on the earth. what is the force exerted by the moon on the same object? what is the force the earth exerts on it?
