100. mmh The speed of a bobsled is increasing because it has an accel- eration of 2.4 m/s². At a given instant in time, the forces resisting the motion, including kinetic friction and air resistance, total 450 N. The combined mass of the bobsled and its riders is 270 kg. (a) What is the magnitude of the force propelling the bobsled forward? (b) What is the magnitude of the net force that acts on the bobsled?

Question 7, Physics - equation sheet attached
Suppose the force of air resistance is proportional to the speed of the object and in the direction opposite the object's velocity. If you throw an object upward, when is the magnitude of the object's acceleration highest? A. It is highest at the top of its trajectory. B The acceleration of the object is the same throughout the entire trajectory. No answer text provided. It is highest right after the object is released.
A 30 kg cannonball is shot at a sailing ship. When it hits the wooden sides of the ship, it just barely punches through the wooden hull, applying a 200 000 N force to the ship the whole time it was stopping. → If the cannonball was originally travelling at 300m/s, how long would it take to completely stop in the hull of the ship assuming constant acceleration.

(The complete question is in the picture) Your professor kicks a soccer ball from the ground with mass m giving it an initial velocity of v0 and reaching a certain maximum height. You, wanting to get higher grades by showing off, kicks the ball and gives it an initial velocity that is double your professor’s shot. What is the maximum height of your shot compared to your professor’s? A. Your shot is 4 times higher than your prof’s shot. B. Your shot is 1/4 times higher than your prof’s shot. C. Your shot is 8 times higher than your prof’s shot. D. Your shot is 2 times higher than your prof’s shot.

A round with a mass of m= 11.5 g is shot out of a rifle that has length L= 1.14 m. The round spends t= 0.14 s in the barrel. a. Write an expression, in terms of the given quantities, for the magnitude of the rounds acceleration, a, as it travels through the rifles barrel. You may assume that acceleration is constant throughout the motion. b. Calculate the numerical value for the magnitude of the rounds acceleration, a in m/s square. c. What is the numerical value of the net force F NET in Newton’s acting in the round?
ycla 3. A car travelling at 122 km/h strikes a tree, the front end of the car compresses, and the driver comes to rest after traveling 0.558 m. What was the average acceleration of the driver during the collision? Express your answer in terms of g's (1.00g = 9.80 m/s'). g's %3D Given the fact that humans can withstand a maximum of 25 g's for a short time without brainy injury, what would the condition of this driver most likely be?
