<p> Name ______</p><p>The “Physics” Penguins of Madagascar in A Christmas Caper</p><p>1. Rico carves a Christmas tree out of a block of ice in 1.2 s. If he did 850 J of work completing the tree, what was his power? If he applied 100 N of force, what speed did he wield the knife?</p><p>2. After hitching ride behind the taxi, the penguins launch off a frictionless ramp at an angle of 30° above the horizontal, with an initial speed of 15.3 m/s, what is the highest point of their trajectory? </p><p>3. When the penguins touch down, their initial speed is 5.0 m/s. If Skipper, having a mass of 35 kg, comes to rest with a constant rate of acceleration in 21 meters, what is the rate of deceleration and what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between Skipper’s fur and the snow?</p><p>4. Upon entering the hotel, the penguins run at the elevator door in their snowman (combined mass of 100 kg). The skipper “steps on it,” moving at a velocity of 0.25 m/s. If takes 0.12 seconds for the snowman to stop as it hits the elevator door, what is the contact force exerted by the elevator door?</p><p>5. When Rico turns into a “mint gatling gun,” he fires mints at a frequency of 4 mints/second, leaving his mouth at a rate of 35 m/s. What distance separates the mints the instant they leave his mouth? </p>
