A `ma` kg block moving at `vi` m/s collides and sticks to a `m2` kg block at rest. What is their final velocity after the collision? Round your answer to two decimal places.

A `f` N horizontal force pushes a `m` kg box across a frictionless floor. What is the box’s acceleration? Provide your answer in m/s2 and round to two decimal points.

A `m` kg box is pulled with a net force of `f` N. What is the acceleration of the box? Provide your answer in m/s2, round to two decimal places.

A `m1` kg car moving at `v1` m/s collides inelastically with a `m2` kg car moving at `v2` m/s in the same direction. What is their velocity after sticking together? Round your answer to two decimal places.

A car of mass `m` kg accelerates at `a` m/s². What net force acts on the car? Provide your answer in Newtons (N).

In a perfectly inelastic collision, two objects stick together after impact. Which is always true?

A soccer ball is kicked and continues rolling across a smooth field until friction slows it down. Which force causes the ball to eventually stop?

A figure skater is spinning with her arms extended. Her rotational inertia in this position is 2.0 kg·m2. She then pulls her arms close to her body, reducing her rotational inertia to 1.2 kg·m2. If her final angular velocity is 3.0 rev/s, what was her initial angular velocity when her arms were extended?

A 4000-kg freight car collides with a 6000-kg freight car at rest. After the collision, they stick together and move at 3 m/s. What was the initial speed of the 4000-kg freight car?

List at least 5 (five) of the items and processes that you would need for a successful Emergency Action Plan (EAP). Your list can include items that are listed in the book and/or the June 2024 NATA Position Statement: Emergency Action Plan.
