A baseball catcher is performing a stunt for a television commercial. He will catch a baseball (mass 145 g) dropped from a height of 60.0 m above his glove. His glove stops the ball in 0.0100 s. What is the force exerted by his glove on the ball?
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.

Sam, whose mass is 74.0 kg, takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 220.0 N and a coefficient of kinetic friction wtih the snow of 0.07. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 11.5 seconds. What Sam's top speed (in m/s) assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2? How far (in m) has Sam traveled when he finally coasts to a stop?
. In the movie The Rocketeer, a teenager discovers a jet-powered backpack in an old barn. The backpack allows him to fly at incrediblespeeds. In one scene, however, he uses the backpack to rapidly accelerate an old pickup truck that is being chased by “bad guys.” Hedoes this by bracing his arms against the cab of the pickup and firing the backpack, giving the truck the acceleration of a drag racer. Isthe physics of this scene “Good,” “Bad,” or “Ugly”? Explain.
