Walking in Waikiki, a tourist steps out onto Kuhio Dr while texting. Unbeknownst to the sunburned visitor, the street has been closed for the filming of a car chase scene for Hawaii 5-0. Slamming on the breaks, the stunt driver is thrown against his seatbelt, stopping in 90m. If the driver and the car weigh a total of 544kg and were traveling at 18 m/s, what force does the 90kg driver feel? Sketch:

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?
A large cruise ship of mass 6.70 ✕ 107 kg has a speed of 12.4 m/s at some instant. What is the magnitude of the constant force required to stop it as it undergoes a displacement of 2.90 km?
A bicyclist of mass 68 kgkg (including the bicycle) can coast down a 6.1 ∘∘ hill at a steady speed of 6.0 km/hkm/h because of air resistance. How much force must be applied to climb the hill at the same speed (and the same air resistance)? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A force of 1.100×103 N pushes a man on a bicycle forward. Air resistance pushes against him with a force of 805 N . If he starts from rest and is on a level road, what speed ? will he be going after 35.0 m ? The mass of the bicyclist and his bicycle is 90.0 kg. 25.3 m/s 15.1 m/s 8.51 m/s 10.3 m/s
Superman must stop a 120-km/h train in 200 m to keep it from hitting a stalled car on the tracks. If the train’s mass is 3 X 105 kg, how much force must he exert? Compare to the weight of the train (give as %). How much force does the train exert on Superman? Solution in handwritten.
The engines of a tanker broke down and the wind pushes the ship with a constant speed of 1.5 m / s straight towards a reef. When the boat is 500 m from the reef, the wind stops and the engineer manages to start the engines. The rudder is stuck, so the only option is to try to accelerate backwards. The mass of the ship and its cargo is 3.6 x 107 kg and the engines produce a net horizontal force of 8 x 104 N. The hull can withstand impacts at a speed of 0.2 m / s or less. The retarding force that the water exerts on the hull of the ship can be neglected. a) The equation of motion that corresponds to the horizontal component is? b)The acceleration of the ship is equal to? c) If the reef does not exist, the vessel, before stopping, travels what distance?
What average force is required to stop a 1800 kg car in 9.0 s if the car is traveling at 90 km/h ?
A boat and its passengers have a combined mass of 5.10x10^2 kg. The boat is coasting into a pier at a speed of 1.00 m/s. How great a force is required to bring the boat to rest in 1.00x10^2 s?
The IKAROS spacecraft, launched in 2010, was designed to test the feasibility of solar sails for spacecraft propulsion. These large, ultralight sails are pushed on by the force of light from the sun, so the spacecraft doesn’t need to carry any fuel. The force on IKAROS’s sails was measured to be 1.12 mN. If this were the only force acting on the 290 kg spacecraft, by how much would its speed increase after 6 months of flight?
If there are no non-conservative forces to worry about, what is the magnitude of the applied force needed to keep an object moving at a constant velocity? Assume the mass of the object is m and its velocity is v.
A hockey player slaps a puck into a cushion, which brings the puck to rest. If the puck's initial velocity was +40 m/s and it has a mass of 170 g, what force does the cushion apply to the puck? Assume the cushion acts on the puck for 0.03 s and the surface that the puck slides on is frictionless.
A 1500 N block is in contact with a level plane whose coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.12. If the block is acted upon by a horizontal force of 250 N, what time, in seconds, will elapse before the block reaches a velocity of 14.5 m/s, starting from rest?
