A child bounces a 46 g superball on the sidewalk. The velocity change of the superball is from 21 m/s downward to 13 m/s upward. If the contact time with the sidewalk is 1/800s, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the superball by the sidewalk?Answer in units of N.
An ice skater with mass = mi goes skating while carrying a bag of sand with initial mass = m0 . At one point, she gives herself a constant initial velocity v0 , and then slowly pours the sand out of the bag at a constant rate κ. Is she speeding up or slowing down? Write out an expression for the velocity as a function of time. How long does it take for her velocity to change by a factor of 2? Your answer can include mi, m0, v0, and κ.

••An air-track cart of mass m1 = 0.14 kg is moving with a speedv0 = 1.3 m>s to the right when it collides with a cart of massm2 = 0.25 kg that is at rest. Each cart has a wad of putty on its bumper, and hence they stick together as a result of their collision. Suppose the average contact force between the carts is F = 1.5 N duringthe collision. (a) What is the acceleration of cart 1? Give directionand magnitude. (b) What is the acceleration of cart 2? Give direction and magnitude. (c) How much time does it take for both cartsto have the same speed? (Once the carts have the same speed thecollision is over and the contact force vanishes.)
