Airplane flight recorders must be able to survive catastrophic crashes. Therefore, they are typically encased in crash-resistant steel or titanium boxes that are subjected to rigorous testing. One of the tests is an impact shock test, in which the box must survive being thrown at high speeds against a barrier. A 43-kg box is thrown at a speed of 340 m/s and is brought to a halt in a collision that lasts for a time of 6.6 ms. What is the magnitude of the average net force that acts on the box during the collision?

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most famous detectives in fiction literature. Even with limited resources to solve crime in the 1800-1900's, Holmes could solve countless mysteries. A carriage was North-bound traveling at a leisurely pace of 5 km/hr. It collided with a Westward-bound speeding carriage and they stuck together, skidding across the dirt at an North-West direction away from the point of collision. What physics law(s) does Sherlock use to solve this mystery? Conservation of Momentum Conservation of Energy Conservation of Angular Momentum Both Conservation of Momentum and Energy OOO O
The mass of a regulation tennis ball is 57 g (although it can vary slightly), and tests have shown that the ball is in contact with the tennis racket for 30 ms.(This number can also vary, depending on the racket and swing.) We shall assume a 30.0 ms contact time. One of the fastest-known served tennis balls was served by “Big Bill” Tilden in 1931, and its speed was measured to be 73 m/s. Suppose that the positive direction of the x-axis is along the direction of motion of the ball after Big Bill's hit. What is the x-component of the force exerted by Big Bill on the tennis ball in his record serve? If Big Bill's opponent returned his serve with a speed of 55 m/s what is the x-component of the force he exerted on the ball, assuming only horizontal motion?
An investigation of an automobile crash suggests that vehicle A was moving at 52 mph toward the south and vehicle B was moving at an unknown speed toward the north, when the two cars collided, sticking together after the collision. Vehicle A weighs 1350 lbs., and vehicle B weighs 1893 lbs. If the cars did not move significantly after their collision, find the initial speed of vehicle B in mph. Answer: mph (miles per hour)
During a spacewalk, Dmitri finds himself floating 3 m from his space station's airlock. He only has one minute of air left. He has one detachable 10 kg toolkit, which he can toss to propel himself toward safety. How fast will he need to move to reach the airlock before he runs out of air?
A 128 kg astronaut and his equipment are initially at rest. To move forward with a velocity of 2.34 m/s, the astronaut fires a 532 N rocket in the backward direction. How long does the astronaut need to fire the rocket?
A snowball is thrown with a speed of 45.0km/h, giving it momentum with a magnitude of 2.10 Ns. What is the mass of the snowball in grams?
A ball of mass m₁ = 0.204 kg and velocity 1.571 m/s collides elastically with a ball of mass m₂ = 0.290 kg and velocity -0.393î m/s. Assume the collision is head-on. (Express your answers in vector form. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (a) Find their velocities after the collision (in m/s). Vif 2f = = cm, before m/s (b) Find the velocity of their center of mass before and after the collision (in m/s). cm, after m/s m/s m/s
Biomechanics. The mass of a regulation tennis ball is 57 g (although it can vary slightly), and tests have shown that the ball is in contact with the tennis racket for 30 ms. (This number can also vary, depending on the racket and swing.) We shall assume a 30.0 ms contact time. One of the fastest-known served tennis balls was served by “Big Bill” Tilden in 1931, and its speed was measured to be 73 m/s. (a) What impulse and what total force did Big Bill exert on the tennis ball in his record serve? (b) If Big Bill’s opponent returned his serve with a speed of 55 m/s, what total force and what impulse did he exert on the ball, assuming only horizontal motion?
A soccer ball of 4.40925 (2 kilosg) pounds moves to the right a speed of 0.5 m/s. Hits a 0.1102311 (0.05 kilosg) pounds tennis ball initially moving to the left at 2 m/s. The collision is elastic and takes place in one dimension, along the x axis. What is the approximate final speed of the tennis ball, vf,g?
For a ballistic study, a 1.9 g mass bullet is fire into softwood. The bullet strikes the wood surface with a velocity of 380m/s and penetrates 0.15m. Find the time required to stop the bullet in seconds. Express your answer in 5 significant figures. Draw the diagram.
