Consider a child holding a helium balloon in a closed car at rest. What would the child observe the balloon to do when the car (a) accelerates from rest and (b) brakes to a stop? (The balloon does not touch the roof of the car.)
At one instant, a 17.5-kg sled is moving over a horizontal surface of snow at 3.50 m/s. After 8.75 s has elapsed, the sled stops. Use a momentum approach to find the average friction force acting on the sled while it was moving.
Review. A rifle bullet with a mass of 12.0 g traveling toward the right at 260 m/s strikes a large hag of sand and penetrates it to a depth of 23.0 cm. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force (assumed constant) that acts on the bullet.

The graphs in Figure 2.52 show plots of force versus acceleration for several objects. Rank these displays using the identifying numbers according to the mass of the affected object from smallest to largest. If any objects share the same mass, give them the same ranking. For reference, the graphs all have the same scale for their respective F and a axes. Explain your reasons for your rankings.
Integrated Concepts A 35.0-kg dolphin decelerates from 12.0 to 7.50 m/s in 2.30 s to join another dolphin in play. What average force was exerted to slow him if he was moving horizontally? (The gravitational force is balanced by the buoyant force of the water.)
A 75.0-kg person is riding in a car moving at 20.0 m/s when the car runs into a bridge abutment (see the following figure). a. Calculate the average force on the person if he is stopped by a padded dashboard that compresses an average of 1.00 cm. b. Calculate the average force on the person if he is stopped by an air bag that compresses an average of 15.0 cm.
Astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless. This means that a clever method of measuring the mass of astronauts is needed to monitor their mass gains or losses, and adjust their diet. One way to do this is to exert a known force on an astronaut and measure the acceleration produced. Suppose a net external force of 50.0 N is exerted, and an astronaut’s acceleration is measured to be 0.893m/s2 . (a) Calculate her mass. (b) By exerting a force on the astronaut, the vehicle in which she orbits experiences an equal and opposite force. Use this knowledge to find an equation for the acceleration of the system (astronaut and spaceship) that would be measured by a nearby observer. (c) Discuss how this would affect the measurement of the astronaut’s acceleration. Propose a method by which recoil of the vehicle is avoided.

A 120-kg astronaut is riding in a rocket sled that is sliding along an inclined plane. The sled has a horizontal component of acceleration of 5.0m/s2 and a downward component of 3.8m/s2 . Calculate the magnitude of the force on the rider by the sled. (Hint: Remember that gravitational acceleration must be considered.)
When you push a pices of chalk across a chalkboard. It sometimes screeches because it rapidly altemates between slipping and sticking to the board. Describe this process in more detail, in particular, explaining how it is related to the face that kinetic is less than static friction. (The same slip-grap process occurs when tires screech on pavament.)
Twenty people participate in a tug-of-war. The two teams of ten people are so evenly matched that neither team wins. After the game they notice that a car is stuck in the mud. They attach the tug-of-war rope to the bumper of the car, and all the people pull on the rope. The heavy car has just moved a couple of decimeters when the rope breaks. Why did the rope break in this situation when it did not break when the same twenty people pulled on it in a tug-of-war?
