Most of us know intuitively that in a head-on collision between a large dump truck and a subcompact car, you are better off being in the truck than in the car. Why is this? Many people imagine that the collision force exerted on the car is much greater than that exerted on the truck. To substantiate this view, they point out that the car is crushed, whereas the truck is only dented. This idea of unequal forces, of course, is false; Newton's third law tells us that both objects are acted upon by forces of the same magnitude. The truck suffers less damage because it is made of stronger metal. But what about the two drivers? Do they experience the same forces? To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is initially moving at 8.10 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on collision. Each driver has mass 73.0 kg. Including the masses of the drivers, the total masses of the vehicles are 800 kg for the car and 4,000 kg for the truck. If the collision time is 0.130 s,…
A block of mass m1 = 13.5 kg slides along a horizontal surface (with friction, μk = 0.31) a distance d = 2.3 m before striking a second block of mass m2 = 8.5 kg. The first block has an initial velocity of v = 9.5 m/s. a)Assuming that block one stops after it collides with block two, what is block two's velocity after impact in m/s? b) How far does block two travel, d2 in meters, before coming to rest after the collision?
Consider the following question: A car moving at 10 m/s crashes into a tree and stops in 0.26 s. Calculate the force the seatbelt exerts on a passenger in the car to bring him to a halt. The mass of the passenger is 70 kg. Would the answer to this question be different if the car with the 70-kg passenger had collided with a car that has a mass equal to and is traveling in the opposite direction and at the same speed? Explain your answer.
A bat collides with a 0.300 kg baseball over a period of 2.00 ms (m = milli). If v1=12.0 m/s, θ1=35° and v2=23 m/s, determine the magnitude of the force exerted on the ball by the bat.
A car of mass m moves with a speed of Vo. The driver suddenly sees another car, of mass 3m, sitting at rest. The driver slams on the brakes. The coefficent of kinetic friction between the car and the road is μk. a) How far away must the second car be if the first car is to stop exactly in time to avoid hitting it? b) Suppose the car is a distance of d/2 away where d is the distance you found in part (a). Find the momentum of the car as it collides with the car at rest. c) Use conservation of momentum to calculate the speeds of both cars after the collision.
A woman weighing 57.1 kg stands at one end of a 120-kg raft that is 6.00 m long. The other end of the raft is 0.500 m from a pier. So, before the woman moves, she is at a total distance of 6.50 m away from the pier. The woman walks toward the pier until she gets to the other end of the uniform raft and stops there. What is the distance between the uniform raft and the pier?
A rocket is fired in a gravity-free environment in deep space. The rocket has an initial mass of 9500 kg and ejects gas with a velocity of 2450 m/s. The rocket fires for 4.40 s. Calculate the mass (in kg) of the gas that must be ejected in the time given to give the rocket an acceleration of 49.50 m/s2
Bob and Jim decide to play tug-of-war on a frictionless (icy) surface. Jim is considerably stronger than Bob, but Bob weighs 160 lb whereas Jim weighs 145 lb. Who loses by crossing over the midline first? Explain.

You are the juror of a case involving a drunken driver whose 1044.0 kg sports car ran into a stationary 2047.0 kg station wagon stopped at a red traffic light. The cars stuck together and slid with locked wheels for 10.0 m before coming to rest. The coefficient of sliding friction on the dry road was 0.7. Estimate the speed of the sports car when it hit the station wagon. Estimate the instantaneous acceleration of the sports car during the actual collision if the colliding cars reach the same final speed after collapsing a combined total distance of 0.7 m.
