12. A physics student makes a device that prevents an egg from cracking when dropped. The mass of the device with the egg inside is 0.5 kg. The device is dropped and hits the ground with a velocity of 5 m/s. If 15 N of force is applied to the egg, how long did it take for the velocity to reach zero?

A bullet with a mass of 0.01 kg is tired horizontally into a block of wood hanging on a string. The bullet sticks in the wood and causes it to swing upward to a height of 0.1 m. If the mass of the wood block is 2 kg, what was the initial speed of the bullet?
The front 1.20 m of a 1 400-kg car is designed as a crumple zone that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision. If a car traveling 25.0 m/s stops uniformly in 1.20 m, (a) how long does the collision last, (b) what is the magnitude of the average force on the car, and (c) what is the acceleration of the car? Express the acceleration as a multiple of the acceleration of gravity.
