Skydiving tunnels have become popular attractions, appealing in part to those who would like a taste of the skydiving experience but are too overwhelmed by the fear of jumping out of a plane at several thousand feet. Skydiving tunnels are vertical wind tunnels through which air is blown at high speeds, allowing visitors to experience bodyflight. On Natalya's first adventure inside the tunnel, she changes her orientation and for an instant, her 46.8-kg body momentarily experiences an upward force of air resistance of 521 N. Determine Natalya's acceleration during this moment in time.

A 1.2 kg ball is falling in the -y direction at a speed of 25 m/s. The ball strikes the floor and then rebounds with a speed of 10 m/s. If the ball is in contact with the floor for 0.02 seconds, what is the magnitude of the average force of the floor acting on the ball? Group of answer choices 1500 N 900 N 600 N 2100 N 200 N 0 N
A space probe, initially at rest, undergoes an internal mechanical malfunction and breaks into three pieces. One piece of mass m1 = 48.0 kg travels in the positive x -direction at 12.0 m/s, and a second piece of mass m2 = 62.0 kg travels in the xy -plane at an angle of 105° at 15.0 m/s. The third piece has mass m3 = 112 kg. (a) Sketch a diagram of the situation, labeling the different masses and their velocities. (b) Write the general expression for conservation of momentum in the x and y -directions in terms of m1, m2, m3, v1, v2 and v3 and the sines and cosines of the angles, taking u to be the unknown angle. (c) Calculate the final x -components of the momenta of m1 and m2 . (d) Calculate the final y -components of the momenta of m1 and m2 . (e) Substitute the known momentum components into the general equations of momentum for the xand y -directions, along with the known mass m3, v3 cos0 and v3 sin0 , respectively, and use the identity cos0 + sin20 = 1 to obtain v3 .

A tall man walking at 1.10 m/s accidentally bumps his head of mass 3.07 kg on a steel doorjamb. His head stops in 0.019 s. What is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the doorjamb on the man's head?
In the very Dutch sport of Fierljeppen, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 55 kg vaulter is moving at 2.5 m/s and is 5.1 m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter?
Squids are the fastest marine invertebrates, using a powerful set of muscles to take in and then eject water in a form of jet propulsion that can propel them to speeds of over 11.5 m/s. What speed (in m/s) would a stationary 1.40 kg squid achieve by ejecting 0.110 kg of water (not included in the squid's mass) at 3.75 m/s? Neglect other forces, including the drag force on the squid. m/
Which one of the following statement is true: a. The center of mass of an object must lie within the object. b. The center of mass of an object cannot move if the net force exerted on the object is zero. c. All the mass of an object is actually concentrated at its center of mass. d. The center of mass of an object must lie outside the object. e. None of the above. ANS: e Can someone please explain why they're false. I know that the CofM can be outside the object or inside so I know a and d are false. I know, for instance, with a baseball bat that the hitting end is more massive and that the CofM is more towards the more massive object so I can assume that c is false. I'm not sure about b. Thanks
please use the equations provided to solve the following; A bullet with mass m moving with an initial speed v is shot into a block of mass M.
