A 4.0-kg mass, initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface, is struck by a 2.0-kg mass moving along the x axis with a speed of 8.0 m/s. After the collision, the 2.0-kg mass has a speed of 4.0 m/s at an angle of 37 from the positive x axis. What is the speed of the 4.0-kg mass after the collision?
 a. 2.0 m/s
  b. 2.7 m/s
  c. 4.9 m/s
  d. 2.4 m/s
  e. 3.6 m/s

Question 2

A 4.2-kg object, initially at rest, explodes into three objects of equal mass. Two of these are determined to have velocities of equal magnitudes (5.0 m/s) with directions that differ by 90. How much kinetic energy was released in the explosion?
 a. 70 J
  b. 53 J
  c. 60 J
  d. 64 J
  e. 35 J

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
