Awater-skier is being pulled by a tow rope attached to a boat. As the driver pushes the throttle forward, the skier accelerates. A 81.0-kg water-skier has an initial speed of 6.5 m/s. Later, the speed increases to 10.1 m/s. Determine the work done by the net external force acting on the skier.

A baseball player hits a bunt during which the bat is in contact with the ball for 0.0005 s. If the bat applies a force of 3,000 N to the 0.15 kg baseball, what is the change in the ball's velocity? Your answer should be in units of m/s but you should only submit the number for your answer (and don't worry about negative signs, just use a positive value).
What average force is required to stop a 1400 kg car in 8.0 s if the car is traveling at 85 km/h? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the direction of the force is in the direction of the initial velocity and negative value if the direction of the force is in the direction opposite of the initial velocity.
When serving a tennis ball, the player hits it when its velocity is zero (at the highest point of a vertical toss). The racket exerts a force of 520 N on the ball for 5.00 ms, giving it a final velocity of 46.0 m/s. Using these data, find the mass (in g) of the ball. g
A baseball pitcher throws a ball straight up into the air at a speed of 21.5 m/s. In the process, he moves his hand through a distance of 2.00 m. If the ball has a mass of 0.250 kg, find the force he exerts on the ball to give it this upward speed. (Report answer to 3SF; unit: N)
A 50.0 kg driver is riding at 35.0 m/s in her red sports car when she must suddenly slam on the brakes to avoidhitting a deer crossing the road. She strikes the air bag, which brings her body to a stop in 0.500 s.a. What average force does the seat belt exert on her? b. If she had not been wearing her seat belt and not had an air bag, then the windshield would have stopped herhead in 0.002 s. What average force would the windshield have exerted on her? c. What is the impulse delivered to her when the air bag changes her momentum? d. What is the impulse delivered to her when the windshield changes her momentum? e. Compare the two impulses calculated in c and d and justify the results.
