A 1150 kg automobile is at rest at a traffic signal. At the instant the light turns green, the automobile starts to move with a constant acceleration of 3.8 m/s2. At the same instant a 1900 kg truck, traveling at a constant speed of 7.4 m/s, overtakes and passes the automobile. (a) How far is the center of mass of the automobile-truck system from the traffic light at t = 3.9 s? (b) What is the speed of the center of mass of the automobile-truck system then

Cs =28.87m/s and Vs = 10.19m/s

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
