A 50 kg student stands on a 4 kg skateboard at rest. The student catches a 9 kg backpack moving with a horizontal speed of 2 m/s in the direction the skateboard is free to roll. How fast will the student and the skateboard move after catching the backpack, assuming friction is negligible?

Amachinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, at rest, at time t = 0 s. the wheel accelerates uniformly for 10 s and reaches the operating angular velocity of 96 rad/s. the wheel is run at that angular velocity for 40 s and then power is shut off. the wheel slows down uniformly at 1.5 rad/s2 until the wheel stops. in this situation, the time interval of deceleration is closest to:

Could we see a galaxy that is 20 billion light-years away?
