Question
Problem 1: A nurse pushes a patient’s bed with a constant force of 30 N. If the bed has a mass of 100 kg and was initially at rest, how fast is the bed moving after 5 seconds? Problem 2: A young man was rushed to the operating room to treat several gunshot wounds. If a rib fracture requires a force of 3,200 N, does a bullet with a mass of 7.5 grams that strikes the rib with an deacceleration of 4.4x105 m/s2 have enough force to create the fracture? What is the force?
