A passenger sitting in the rear of a bus claims that she was injured as the driver slammed on the brakes, causing a suitcase to come flying toward her from the front of the bus. If you were the judge in this case, what disposition would you make? Explain.

A passenger sitting in the rear of a bus claims that she was injured as the driver slammed on the brakes, causing a suitcase to come flying towards her from the front of the bus. If you were judging this case, how would you rule and why?
A truck collides with a car, and during the collision, the net force on each vehicle is essentially the force exerted by the other. Suppose the mass of the car is 550 kg, the mass of the truck is 2200 kg, and the magnitude of the truck’s acceleration is 10 m/s2 . Find the magnitude of the car’s acceleration.
A 1000 kg car collides with a 1 mg mosquito. By what factor will the acceleration of the mosquito be greater than the acceleration of the car when they collide?
A force F1 of magnitude 6.00 units acts on an object at the origin in a direction u 5 30.0 degrees above the positive x-axis. A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the object in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant F1 + F2. Show complete step-by-step process and solution.
A 1400-kg car is brought from 25 m/s to 10 m/s over a time period of 5.0 seconds. Determine the force experienced by the car.
In 1896 in Waco,Texas,William Crush parked two locomotives at opposite ends of a 6.4-km-long track, fired them up, tied their throttles open, and then allowed them to crash head-on at full speed in front of 30,000 spectators. Hundreds of people were hurt by flying debris; several were killed. Assuming each locomotive weighed 1.2 * 106 N and its acceleration was a constant 0.26 m/s2, what was the total kinetic energy of the two locomotives just before the collision?
Two people are pushing a truck across a parking lot. The truck has a mass of about 2 × 10 kg. First, they take turns pushing. When Person A pushes the truck, the truck accelerates at a rate of 1 m/s?. When Person B pushes the truck, it accelerates at a rate of 2 m/s?(a) Both people stand behind the truck and push in the same direction. What is the net force on the truck? At what rate will the truck accelerate?(b) Person A stands at the back of the truck and Person B stands at the front, and they push in opposite directions. What is the net force on the truck? At what rate will the truck accelerate? In what direction?For both (a) and (b), draw a picture indicating the forces applied by A and B as well as the motion of the truck.

A 160 lb person has a mass of 160/32 = 5 slugs. A 160-lb person steps into an elevator and stands on a bathroom scale. Determine the scale reading for the given scenarios. The elevator accelerates downwards and is now moving at a constant speed.
He continues on for a while until he encounters a 500. kg boulder blocking his way. He puffs up his chest, crouches a bit, and begins to push horizontally with a force of 2,205 N. The coefficient of friction between the ground and the boulder was 0.450. Was he able to move it out of the way?
A car traveling at 27.2 m/s hits a bridge abutment. A passenger in the car, who has a mass of 65.0 kg, moves forward a distance of 57.0 cm while being brought to rest by an inflated air bag. Assuming that the force that stops the passenger is constant, what is the magnitude F of this force?
Object A is acted on by only object B. The mass of object A is 20.0 kg and its acceleration is 4.00 m/s2 west. Object B is acted on by two forces, the force of object A on object B and another unknown force. If mass of object B is 40.0 kg and the acceleration of object B is 3.00 m/s2 west, what is the unknown force?
