A car’s bumper is designed to withstand a 4.0-km/ h (1.1-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force on a bumper that collapses 0.200 m while bringing a 900-kg car to rest from an initial speed of 1.1 m/s.
A particle is suspended from a post on top of a can by a light string of length L. as shown in Figure P9.57a. The can and particle are initially moving to the right at constant speed the with the string vertical.

(a) Show that the original speed of the cart can be computed from. vi=2gL(1cos) (b) If the bumper is still exerting a horizontal force on the cart when the hanging panicle is at its maximum angle forward from the vertical. at what moment does the bumper stop exerting a horizontal force?
A 100-g toy car is propelled by a compressed spring that starts it moving. The car follows the curved track in Figure 7.39. Show that the final speed of the toy car is 0.687 m/s if its initial speed is 2.00 m/s and it coasts up the frictionless slope, gaining 0.180 m in altitude.

Two stones, one with twice the mass of the other, are thrown straight up and rise to the same height h. Compare their changes in gravitational potential energy (choose one): (a) They rise to the same height, so the stone with twice the mass has twice the change in gravitational potential energy. (b) They rise to the same height, so they have the same change in gravitational potential energy. (c) The answer depends on their speeds at height h.
Two blocks of masses m and 3m are placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A light spring is attached to the more massive block, and the blocks are pushed together with the spring between them (Fig. P8.7). A cord initially holding the blocks together is burned; after that happens, the block of mass 3m moves to the right with a speed of 2.00 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the block of mass m? (b) Find the systems original elastic potential energy, taking m = 0.350 kg. (c) Is the original energy in the spring or in the cord? (d) Explain your answer to part (c). (e) Is the momentum of the system conserved in the bursting-apart process? Explain how that is possible considering (f) there are large forces acting and (g) there is no motion beforehand and plenty of motion afterward? Figure P8.7
Two pucks in a laboratory are placed on an air table (Fig. P11.66). Puck 2 has four times the mass of puck 1 (m2 = 4m1). Initially, puck 1s speed is three times puck 2s speed (v1i = 3v2i), puck 1s position is r1i=x1ii, and puck 2s position is r2i=y2ij. The pucks collide at the origin. a. Copy Figure P11.66 and then add vCM to your sketch. b. Does puck 2 travel a greater distance, lesser distance, or the same distance as puck 1? c. Find an expression for y2i in terms of x1i. d. If puck 1 moves 1.33 m, how far does puck 2 move before the collision? FIGURE P11.66 Problems the origin.
