A father racing his son has 1/3 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/3 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.7 m/s and then has the same kinetic energy as the son. What are the original speeds of (a) the father and (b) the son?

Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45° over a level field. she watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands, two seconds after being kicked, about 20 m away to the north. assume that air resistance is negligible, and plot the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity as a function of time. consider only the time that the ball is in the air, after being kicked but before landing. take "north" and "up" as the positive ‑ and ‑directions, respectively, and use ≈10 m/s2 for the downward acceleration due to gravity.

Ben (55kg) is standing on very slippery ice when junior (25kg) bumps into him. junior was moving at a speed of 8 m/s before the collision and ben and junior embrace after the collision. find the speed of ben and junior as they move across the ice after the collision. give the answer in m/s. describe the work you did to get the answer.

The ability to make things happen is also called a. heat b. force c. matter d. energy
