Two cars are involved in a head-on collision in an alley. The driver of a car with mass, ma = 1,200 kg claims to have been traveling west at via = 7 m/s. The driver of the other car with mass, mb = 1,000 kg claims to have been traveling east at vib = 10 m/s. The investigating officer found that both cars were stuck together and traveled with a common final velocity of 3 m/s, eastward, after the collision. Assuming that at least one driver is correct, what does an application of the law of conservation of momentum allow the officer to conclude about the accident? A) The driver of the westbound car was moving significantly faster than reported. B) Both drivers correctly reported their velocities at the time of the collision. C) Either the driver of the westbound car overestimated his velocity or the driver of the eastbound car underestimated his velocity. D) Either the driver of the westbound car underestimated his velocity, or the driver of the eastbound car overestimated his velocity.

As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself. there is no one around to , so you attach an ideal pulley to the box and a massless rope to the ceiling, which you wrap around the pulley. you pull up on the rope to lift the box. use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity and neglect friction forces. once you have pulled hard enough to start the box moving upward, what is the magnitude f of the upward force you must apply to the rope to start raising the box with constant velocity? express the magnitude of the force in terms of m, the mass of the box.
