An air bag inflates when a collision occurs, protecting a passenger (the dummy in Figure CQ6.12) from serious injury. Why does the air bag soften the blow? Discuss the physics involved in this dramatic photograph.
The third graders are on one side of a schoolyard, and the fourth graders are on the other. They are throwing snowballs at each other. Between them, snowballs of various masses are moving with different velocities as shown in Figure OQ5.3. Rank the snowballs (a) through (e) according to the magnitude of the total force exerted on each one. Ignore air resistance. If two snowballs rank together, make that fact clear.
A flat cushion of mass m is released from rest at the corner of the roof of a building, at height h. A wind blowing along the side of the building exerts a constant horizontal force of magnitude F on the cushion as it drops as shown in Figure P5.48. The air exerts no vertical force. (a) Show that the path of the cushion is a straight line. (b) Does die cushion fall with constant velocity? Explain. (c) If m = 1.20 kg, h = 8.00 m, and F = 2.40 N, how far from the building will the cushion hit the level ground? What If? (d) If the cushion is thrown downward with a nonzero speed at the top of the building, what will be the shape of its trajectory? Explain. Figure P5.48
What force does a trampoline have to apply to a 45.0-kg gymnast to accelerate her straight up at 7.50 m/s2? Note that the answer is independent of the velocity of the gymnast—she can be moving either up or down, or be stationary.
A weight lifter stands on a bathroom scale. He pumps a barbell up and down. What happens to the reading on the scale as he does so? What If? What if he is strong enough to actually throw the barbell upward? How does the reading on the scale vary now?
Review. A block of mass m = 2.00 kg is released from rest at h = 0.500 m above the surface of a table, at the top of a = 30.0 incline as shown in Figure P5.101. The frictionless incline is fixed on a table of height H = 2.00 m. (a) Determine the acceleration of the block as it slides down the incline, (b) What is the velocity of the block as it leaves the incline? (c) How far from the table will the block hit the floor? (d) What time interval elapses between when the block is released and when it hits the floor? (e) Does the mass of the block affect any of the above calculations?
Jogging on hard surfaces with insufficiently padded shoes produces large forces in the feet and legs. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the force needed to stop the downward motion of a jogger's leg, if his leg has a mass of 13.0 kg, a speed of 6.00 m/s, and stops in a distance of 1.50 cm. (Be certain to include the weight of the 75.0-kg jogger's body.) (b) Compare this force with the weight of the jogger.

A clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg. If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m, how much thrust force did the rockets excert to get him to his final speed? Assume this thrust is constant over the 2.4 m.
NASA’s Saturn V rockets that launched astronauts to themoon were powered by the strongest rocket engine everdeveloped, providing 6.77 x 106 N of thrust while burningfuel at a rate of 2.63 x 103 kg/s. Calculate the engine’sexhaust speed.
A 4kg model rocket, initially at rest, accelerates upwards by generating a 74N thrust as it burns fuel for 5.8s. After running out of fuel the rocket continues upwards until reaching maximum height. Throughout the flight the rocket experiences a steady 8N drag force. Neglect the loss of mass as the rocket ejects fuel.
The human head can be considered as a3.3-kg cranium protecting a 1.5-kg brain, with a small amount ofcerebrospinal fluid that allows the brain to move a little bit insidethe cranium. Suppose a cranium at rest is subjected to a force of2800 N for 6.5 ms in the forward direction. (a) What is the finalspeed of the cranium? (b) The back of the cranium then collideswith the back of the brain, which is still at rest, and the two movetogether. What is their final speed? (c) The cranium now hits anexternal object and suddenly comes to rest, but the brain continues to move forward. If the front of the brain interacts with thefront of the cranium over a period of 15 ms before coming to rest,what average force is exerted on the brain by the cranium?
