Chapter 3, Problem 5P
In Section 1.4, we considered the collision of a karate expert’s hand with a concrete block. Based on the graphs in Figure 1.31, the initial downward speed of the fist with mass 0.75 kg is about -13 m/s and the collision time is approximately 25 ms. Find the impulse and the average force exerted on the block by the fist during the collision.

M1=127.01 g, M2=49.40 g, Xi=33.90 cm, Xf=87.90 cm, Δt = 1.38 sec, what should be their μk value? Enter the result with correct significant figures.
What mass in kg of rain falls on the lawn in 4 h 24 min, if each raindrop weighed 49.0 ng and on average 8.4 x 10^9 raindrops fall on a lawn every minute?
If a cart of mass 350 grams moving at speed of 4.5 m/s hits an end-stop and rebounds at a speed of 3.2 m/s, what is the change in momentum, in units of kg.m/s?
A cart has the rubber bumper attached to the force sensor, and it moves and collides with an end-stop. In the collision, it suffers a change in momentum = 4.05 kg.m/s, and the time during which the collision takes place is 0.182 seconds. Calculate the average force applied on the cart by the bumper, in newtons.
