14. A 980-kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2300-kg SUV stopped at a red light. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked, and the two cars skid forward 2.6 m before stopping. The police officer, estimating the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80, calculates the speed of the sports car at impact. What was that speed?

A tennis ball is flying east towards the wall with a speed of 40.3 m/s. After bounced against the wall, it's flying west with a speed of 28.2 m/s. If the mass of the ball is 0.1 kg, and the time of collision with the wall is 0.033 second, what is the magnitude of force on the wall during this process in unit of Newton?
1. A hose sprays water into a train car. The hose is fixed in place and directed along the tracks, and the train car can move along the tracks without friction. The hose sprays water at a fixed rate a ([a] =MT-1) and speed v; the mass of the empty car is M. If the train car starts empty and at rest at t = 0, what is its speed at time t?
What is the magnitude of the force that stops the baseball? What force does the baseball exert on your head? Are you in danger of a fracture if the ball hits you in the forehead? On the cheek?
10. A snowboarder starts at the top of a 160. m tall hill with a velocity of 3.00 m/s. The portion of the hill covered with snow is essentially frictionless, but the flat, horizontal section at the base of the hill covered with mud is not. If the snowboarder masses in at 80.0 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between board and mud is 0.750, how much distance is required for the snowboarder to come to rest?
Suppose you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. The mass of the spacecraft is 3.0 x 104 kg (about 30 tons). The rocket engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with velocity of km/s. As you pass the location km you briefly fire side thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of N for 18 s ejected gases have a mass that is small compared to the mass of the spacecraft. You then continue coasting with the rocket engines turned off. Where are you an hour later? (Think about approximations or simplifying assumptions you made in your analysis. Also think about the choice of system: what are the surroundings that exert external forces on your system?) m
A stationary 2.17-kg object is struck by a stick. The object experiences a horizontal force given by F = at - bt 2, where t is the time in seconds from the instant the stick first contacts the object. If a = 1,500,000 N/s and b = 20,000,000 N/s?, what is the speed of the object just after it comes away from the stick at t = 2.55 x 103 s? %3D
1. The 10-lb block has a speed of 4 ft/s when the force of F = (8t?) Ib is applied. Determine the velocity of the block when it moves s = 20 ft. The coefficient of kinetic friction at the surface is Uz = 0.15. Note: It's okay to use an online equation solver to calculate a number in this problem! v = 4 ft/s F = (8f) lb
A 1.50-mm-long, 500 gg rope pulls a 10.0 kgkg block of ice across a horizontal, frictionless surface. The block accelerates at 1.50 m/s2m/s2. How much force pulls forward on the ice? Assume that the rope is perfectly horizontal
A 1,000 kg car traveling at 40 m/s collides with a brick wall. The car is in contact with the wall for 0.08 seconds before it bounces back with a smaller velocity. Which of the following would result in smallest contact force from the wall on the car? Group of answer choices Increasing the contact time to 3 seconds Decreasing the car’s velocity to 20 m/s Decreasing the contact time to 0.004 seconds Decreasing the car’s mass to 500 kg
Hi please help with the following: After hitting a long fly ball that goes over the right fielder's head and lands in the outfield, the batter decides to keep going past second base and try for third base. The 59 kg player begins sliding 3.40 m from the base with a speed of 4.35 m/s. If the player comes to rest at third base, what was the coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground?
