A bullet shot from a rifle has mass of 10.0 g and travels to the right at 350 m/s. It strikes a target, a large bag of sand, penetrating it a distance of 34.0 cm. Find the magnitude and direction of the retarding force that slows and stops the bullet.
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?
A system can have a nonzero velocity while the net external force on it is zero. Describe such a situation.
Check Your Understanding The soccer player stops after completing the play described above, but now notices that the ball is in position to be stolen. If she now experiences a force of 126 N attempts to steal the ball, which is 2.00 m away from her, how long will it take her to get to the ball?
A baseball catcher is performing a stunt for a television commercial. He will catch a baseball (mass 145 g) dropped from a height of 60.0 m above his glove. His glove stops the ball in 0.0100 s. What is the force exerted by his glove on the ball?
Show that the acceleration of any object down an incline where friction behaves simply (that is, where fk=kN ) is a=g(sinkcos). Note that the acceleration is independent of mass and reduces to the expression found in the previous problem when friction becomes negligibly small (k=0).
Professional Application A car moving at 10 m/s crashes into a tree and stops in 0.26 s. Calculate the force the seat belt exerts on a passenger in the car to bring him to a halt. The mass of the passenger is 70 kg.
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?
Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in Fig. 3.28. They push off and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of 0.50 m/s to the left. If the boy weighs 735 N and the girl weighs 490 N, what is the girls velocity after they push off? (Consider the ice to be frictionless.)
Why does an ordinary rifle recoil (kick backward) when fired? The barrel of a recoilless rifle is open at both ends. Describe how Newton's third law applies when one is fired. Can you safely stand close behind one when it is fired?
