Problem 10: A car and a dump truck are involved in an accident and crash into each other. Assuming the only force acting is the force of collision, which one experiences the most force during the crash - the car or the dump truck? MultipleChoice : 1) It depends on which one is moving faster. 2) They experience the same size force. 3) The car. 4) The dump truck. 5) It depends on the angle of their collision.

Most of us know intuitively that in a head-on collision between a large dump truck and a subcompact car, you are better off being in the truck than in the car. Why is this? Many people imagine that the collision force exerted on the car is much greater than that exerted on the truck. To substantiate this view, they point out that the car is crushed, whereas the truck is only dented. This idea of unequal forces, of course, is false; Newton's third law tells us that both objects are acted upon by forces of the same magnitude. The truck suffers less damage because it is made of stronger metal. But what about the two drivers? Do they experience the same forces? To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is initially moving at 7.70 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on collision. Each driver has mass 72.0 kg. Including the masses of the drivers, the total masses of the vehicles are 800 kg for the car and 4,000 kg for the truck. If the collision time is 0.110 s,…

Jennifer, who has a mass of 50.0 kg, is riding at 35.0 m/s in her red sports car when she must suddenly slam on the brakes to avoid hitting a deer crossing the road. She strikes the air bag, that brings her body to a stop in 0.500 s. What average force does the seat belt exert on her? If Jennifer had not been wearing her seat belt and not had an air bag, then the windshield would have stopped her head in 0.002 s. What average force would the windshield have exerted on her?
A 380.0 g volleyball approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 15.0 m/s. The player strikes the ball with a force of 265.0 N causing it to move to the opposite direction. If the player’s fist is in contact with the ball for 0.0600 s, determine the final velocity of the ball (Please explain in details. Thank you! <3)
During a storm, rain comes straight down at a rate of 46.8 kph and perpendicularly hits the roof of a vehicle. Assuming the mass of rain per second that strikes the vehicle's roof is 270 kg/hr. Considering that the rain comes to rest upon striking the car, find the average force exerted by the vehicle's roof on that rain.
Three objects are situated along the x axis as follows: a 1.5.00-kg object is located at -2.00 m, a 2.00-kg object is at 1.5 0 m, a 3-kg object is at the origin. Where is the center of mass of these objects?

A cruise ship with a mass of 1.15 × 107 kg strikes a pier at a speed of 0.75 m/s. It comes to rest over a distance of 6.15 m, damaging the ship, the pier, and the tugboat captain’s finances. Assume a constant acceleration occurs during the collision. 1).Find the average force Fsp being exerted on the pier as the ship hits it, in terms of the time of interaction Δt, the initial velocity of the ship v, and the mass of the ship m. Take the motion of the cruise ship to be in the positive direction. 2).
