During an ice show, a 60.0-kg skater leaps into the air and is caught by an initially stationary 75.0-kg skater. (a) What is their final velocity assuming negligible friction and that the 60.0-kg skater's original horizontal velocity is 4.00 m/s? (b) How much kinetic energy is lost?
A car is stopped for a traffic signal. When the light turns green, the car accelerates, increasing its speed from 0 to 5.20 m/s in 0.832 s. What are the magnitudes of (a) the linear impulse and (b) the average total force experienced by a 70.0-kg passenger in the car during the time the car accelerates?
A soccer player takes a corner kick, lofting a stationary ball 35.0 above the horizon at 22.5 m/s. If the soccer ball has a mass of 0.425 kg and the players foot is in contact with it for 5.00 102 s, find (a) the x- and y - components of the soccer balls change in momentum and (b) the magnitude of the average force exerted by the players foot on the ball.
An air bag inflates when a collision occurs, protecting a passenger (the dummy in Figure CQ6.12) from serious injury. Why does the air bag soften the blow? Discuss the physics involved in this dramatic photograph.
A 90.0-kg ice hockey player hits a 0.150-kg puck, giving the puck a velocity of 45.0 m/s. If both are initially at rest and if the ice is frictionless, how far does the player recoil in the time it takes the puck to reach the goal 15.0 m away?
What is the velocity of a 900-kg car initially moving at 30.0 m/s, just after it hits a 150-kg deer initially running at 12.0 m/s in the same direction? Assume the deer remains on the car.
A man claims that he can hold onto a 12.0-kg child in a head-on collision as long as he has his seat belt on. Consider this man in a collision in which he is in one of two identical cars each traveling toward the other at 60.0 mi/h relative to the ground. The car in which he rides is brought to rest in 0.10 s. (a) Find the magnitude of the average force needed to hold onto the child. (b) Based on your result to part (a), is the mans claim valid? (c) What does the answer to this problem say about laws requiring the use of proper safety devices such as seat belts and special toddler seats?
A billiard ball moving at 5.00 m/s strikes a stationary ball of the same mass. After the collision, the first ball moves at 4.33 m/s at an angle of 30.0 with respect to the original line of motion. Assuming an elastic collision (and ignoring friction and rotational motion), find the struck ball's velocity after the collision.
A baseball is thrown from the outfield toward home plate, (a) True or False: Neglecting air resistance, the momentum of the baseball is conserved during its flight, (b) True or False: Neglecting air resistance, the momentum of the baseball-Earth system is conserved during the baseballs flight.
A juggler juggles three balls in a continuous cycle. Any one ball is in contact with one of his hands for one fifth of the time. (a) Describe the motion of the center of mass of the three balls. (b) What average force does the juggler exert on one ball while he is touching it?
Professional Application Two football players collide head-on in midair while trying to catch a thrown football. The first player is 95.0 kg and has an initial velocity of 6.00 m/s, while the second player is 115 kg and has an initial velocity of -3.50 m/s. What is their velocity just after impact if they cling together?
Two identical pucks collide on an air hockey table. One puck was originally at rest. (a) If the incoming puck has a speed of 6.00 m/s and scatters to an angle of 30.0°,what is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the second puck? (You may use the result that 12=90 for elastic collisions of objects that have identical masses.) (b) Confirm that the collision is elastic.
