Consider two astronauts initially at rest “floating” next to each other in space. The 80 kg astronaut pushes the 100 kg astronaut. How far apart are they when the heavier astronaut has moved 10 meters?

In an inelastic collision involving an isolated system, the final total momentum is

Three cars (car F, car G, and car H) are moving with the same speed and slam on their brakes. The most massive car is car F, and the least massive is car H. If the tires of all three cars have identical coefficients of kinetic friction with the road surface, which car travels the longest distance to skid to a stop?
