a) Determine the magnitude of the average force in Newtons acting on the student's body during the impact with the padded wall.
If the student instead hit the concrete wall moving at the same speed, her momentum would have been reduced to zero in 0.07 seconds. Determine what the magnitude of the average force in Newtons acting on her body would have been for such an abrupt and dangerous collision?
Based on a grade 11 physics student, answer the following question: In the Loblaws parking lot, the cart attendants decide to have some fun during a winter morning. The two attendants, Otis (72 kg) and Sito (82 kg), exert a minimum horizontal force of 29 N [F] to get their 153 kg carts to begin moving. After the carts have travelled for 11m, Otis and Sito jump on and the carts have a friction of 33 N. a. Draw a free body diagram of the carts at rest, and another one after they have travelled 11m, showing all forces and with values.

- You have just planted a sturdy 2-m-tall palm tree in your front lawn for your mother's birthday. Your brother kicks a 500 g ball, which hits the top of the tree at a speed of 5 m/s and stays in contact with it for 10 ms. The ball falls to the ground near the base of the tree and the recoil of the tree is minimal. (a) What is the force on the tree? (b) The length of the sturdy section of the root is only 20 cm. Furthermore, the soil around the roots is loose and we can assume that an effective force is applied at the tip of the 20 cm length. What is the effective force exerted by the end of the tip of the root to keep the tree from toppling? Assume the tree will be uprooted rather than bend. (c) What could you have done to ensure that the tree does not uproot easily?arrow_forwardA 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 150-kg plank. Both are originally at rest on a frozen lake that constitutes a frictionless, flat surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity of 1.50i m/s relative to the plank. (a) What is the velocity of the plank relative to the ice surface? (b) What is the girls velocity relative to the ice surface?arrow_forwardTwo blocks collide on a frictionless surface. After the collision, the blocks stick together. Block A has a mass M and is initially moving to the right at speed v. Block B has a mass 2M and is initially at rest.

Explain your reasoning, (c) Calculate the change in momentum of block A, block B, and system C. (d) Is kinetic energy conserved in this collision? Explain your answer.

- Integrated Concepts A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.300 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.900 m above the floor. (a) Calculate his velocity when he leaves the floor. (b) Calculate his acceleration while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.300 m. (c) Calculate the force he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 110 kg.arrow_forwardMeasuring the speed of a bullet.

- A 0.0250-kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 550 m/s in a 3.00-kg rifle. The pain of the rifle's kick is much worse if you hold the gun loosely a few centimeters from your shoulder rather than holding it tightly against your shoulder. (a) Calculate the recoil velocity of the rifle if it is held loosely away from the shoulder. (b) How much kinetic energy does the rifle gain? (c) What is the recoil velocity if the rifle is held tightly against the shoulder, making the effective mass 28.0 kg? (d) How much kinetic energy is transferred to the rifle shoulder combination? The pain is related to the amount of kinetic energy, which is significantly less in this latter situation. (e) Calculate the momentum of a 110-kg football player running at 8.00 m/s. Compare the player's momentum with the momentum of a hard-thrown 0.410-kg football that has a speed of 25.0 m/s. Discuss its relationship to this problem.arrow_forwardIn Chapter 9, we will define the center of mass of an object and prove that its motion is described by the particle under constant acceleration model when constant forces act on the object. A gymnast jumps straight up, with her center of mass moving at 2.80 m/s as she leaves the ground. How high above this point is her center of mass (a) 0.100 s, (b) 0.200 s, (c) 0.300 s. and (d) 0.500 s thereafter?arrow_forwardYou and your brother argue often about how to safely secure a toddler in a moving car. You insist that special toddler seats are critical in improving the chances of a toddler surviving a crash. Your brother claims that, as long as his wife is buckled in next to him with a seat belt while he drives, she can hold onto their toddler on her lap in a crash. You decide to perform a calculation to try to convince your brother. Consider a hypothetical collision in which the 12-kg toddler and his parents are riding in a car traveling at 60 mi/h relative to the ground. The car strikes a wall, tree, or another car, and is brought to rest in 0.10 s. You wish to demonstrate to your brother the magnitude of the force necessary for his wife to hold onto their child during the collision.arrow_forward
- This is a symbolic version of Problem 23. A girl of mass mG is standing on a plank of mass mp. Both are originally at rest on a frozen lake that constitutes a frictionless, flat surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity vGP to the right relative to the plank. (The subscript GP denotes the girl relative to plank.)

(b) What is the girls velocity vGI relative to the ice surface?arrow_forwardA 0.020-kg bullet traveling at a speed of embeds in a 1.0-kg wooden block resting on a horizontal surface. The block slides horizontally 4.0 m on a surface before stopping. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and surface. I know the solution is to first use 1) M1V1 + 0 = (M1+M2) Vf1 to get Vf1 = 5.9m/sThen use 2) net force = force of friction to get Uk However I'm confused why I couldn't use p + J = p for the second part after I got Vf1. In which case I would have (m1+m2)Vf1 + Ff*d = 0,(m1+m2)Vf1 = (m1+m2)g *Uk *dUk = Vf1/gdWhen I use this I get 0.15, which is the wrong answer. The right answer is 0.44. Can you help me identify the mistake in my logic? or if this is a way i could use but I'm just missing pieces?
