7. You are driving along a straight section of road at 13 m/s when 10 m in front of you a furry creature jumps out into the middle of the road. You instantly slam on your breaks, but the breaks lock so that you slide along the pavement with kinetic coefficient of friction between the tires and the pavement of 0.65. By what distance do you stop short of running over the furry creature or by what distance is your roadkill dinner behind you when your car finally comes to a halt? Note that the total mass of the car (including you) is 1360 kg, while the mass of the furry creature is 2.6 kg.

Balancing carefully, three boys inch out onto a horizontal tree branch above a pond, each planning to dive in separately. The third boy in line notices that the branch is barely strong enough to support them. He decides to jump straight up and land back on the branch to break it, spilling all three into the pond. When he starts to carry out his plan, at what precise moment does the branch break? Explain. Suggestion: Pretend to be the third boy and imitate what he does in slow motion. If you are still unsure, stand on a bathroom scale and repeat the suggestion.
Why can a squirrel jump from a tree branch to the ground and run away undamaged, while a human could break a in such a fall?
What is the deceleration of the rocket sled if it comes to rest in 1.1 s from a speed of 1000 km/h? (Such deceleration caused one test subject to black out and have temporary blindness.)

Lionel Messi scores a last second goal and, in celebration, runs as fast as he can, drops to his knees and slides along the wet grass of the field. Messi has been clocked (this is true) at a top speed of 9 meters per second in a game. Let's take this as his maximum velocity and the speed he is moving right before he drops down to slide.Take Messi's mass to be 72 kilograms, and take the coefficient of kinetic friction between skin and wet grass to be 0.4How far does Messi slide?
2. To promote their new album, BTS decided to launch a satellite into orbit that will intercept all airwaves and play their songs worldwide. To do this, he needs to mount a 200 [kg] satellite onto a 850 [kg] rocket. It blasts off vertically from a launch pad with a constant net upward acceleration of 3.80 [m/s2]. When it has reached a height of 680 [m], the satellite was released, and the rocket blew up shortly after, due to a system failure. Assume that the satellite was not damaged after the explosion. (a) What is the maximum height that the satellite will reach above the launch pad? (b) How much time will elapse after system failure before the satellite comes crashing down the launch pad?(c) How fast will the satellite be moving just before it crashes?
From the SUV-compact car example, suppose the same two vehicles are both traveling eastward, the compact car leading the SUV. The driver of the compact car slams on the brakes suddenly, slowing the vehicle to 6.00 m/s. If the SUV traveling at 18.0 m/s crashes into the compact car, find the speed of the system right after the collision, assuming the two vehicles become entangled, Answer: The speed of the system is ___ m/s.
A billiard ball rolling across a table at 1.50 m/s makes a head- on elastic collision with an identical ball. Find the speed of each ball after the collision (a) when the second ball is initially at rest, (b) when the second ball is moving toward the first at a speed of 1.00 m/s, and (c) when the second ball is moving away from the first at a speed of 1.00 m/s.
A 0.450-kg hammer is moving horizontally at 7.00 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail 1.00 cm into a board. Assume constant acceleration of the hammer-nail pair. a. Calculate the duration of the impact. b. What was the average force exerted on the nail?
Two students hold a large bed sheet vertically between them. A third student, who happens to be the star pitcher on the school baseball team, throws a raw egg at the center of the sheet. Explain why the egg does not break when it hits the sheet, regardless of its initial speed.
A system can have a nonzero velocity while the net external force on it is zero. Describe such a situation.
