You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 53.3 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 2.40 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.560 seconds later. You can ignore air resistance. Based on the outcome of this experiment, when you step on the scale provided for you, what weight will it register for your body? 544 N 816 N 522.9 N 408 N

A 0.576-kg ball, initially moving with a speed of 2.93 m/s, bounces off a wall and then moves with a speed magnitude half of its original directed in the opposite direction. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 5.2 ms, what is the magnitude of the average force that the wall exerts on the ball? Express your answer in two decimal places, in Newtons.
What average force is necessary to stop a 16 g bullet travelling at 260 m/s as it penetrates into a block of wood for a distance of 12 cm?
A 0.203 kg baseball is pitched to a batter with an initial speed of 18.4 m/s, if the bat delivers a force of 2.09E3 N for a time of 0.00300 s, what speed does the baseball have as it is hit back towards the pitcher?
A 5.08×104 kgkg railroad car moves on frictionless horizontal rails until it hits a horizontal spring stopper with a force constant of 4.09×105 N/mN/m . When the railroad car comes to a complete stop, the compression of the spring stopper is 30 cmcm . How fast was the railroad car initially?
You and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 23 ∘ . You're sitting on the very top of the roof when Peter, who is on the edge of the roof, 5.2 m away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.3 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is 0.52, with what speed should you push the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof?
A 0.507-kg ball, initially moving with a speed of 3.49 m/s, bounces off a wall and then moves with a speed magnitude half of its original directed in the opposite direction. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 6.7 ms, what is the magnitude of the average force that the wall exerts on the ball? Express ans in 2decimal places, in Newtons.
A 88 kg man lying on a surface of negligible friction shoves a 66 g stone away from himself, giving it a speed of 3.9 m/s. What speed does the man acquire as a result?
A 1500 kgkg car skids to a halt on a wet road where μk = 0.49. How fast was the car traveling if it leaves 70-m-long skid marks?
Starting with an initial speed of 5.00 m/s at a height of 0.300 m, a 1.50-kg ball swings downward and strikes a 2.60-kg ball that is at rest, as the drawing shows.
16) A 10 g bullet in motion, with 1000 m / s hits and passes through a 2.0 kg block initially at rest, as shown in the image. The bullet leaves the block with a velocity of 400 m / s. To what maximum height does the block rise above its initial position? Answers: a) 78 cm b) 66 cm c) 56 cm d) 46 cm e) 37 cm
Emma and Katie are racing along in their new wagon. Upon reaching the bottom of the hill traveling at 13.2 m/s, Katie notices her teddy bear 12.0 m in front of them, panics and locks the brakes sending the wagon into a skid. If the wagon and its contents have a total mass of 1.50 x101 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and the rubber wagon tires is (0.75), by how much does the wagon miss the bear?
