Two automobiles of equal mass approach an intersection. One vehicle is traveling with velocity 13.0 m/s toward the east, and the other is traveling north with velocity v2i. Neither driver sees the other. The vehicles collide in the intersection and stick together, leaving parallel skid marks at an angle of 55.0 north of east The speed limit for both roads is 35 mi/h, and the driver of the northward-moving vehicle claims he was within the limit when the collision occurred. Is he telling the truth?
The magnitude of the net force exerted in the x direction on a 2.50-kg particle varies in time as shown in Figure P9.10 (page 244). Find (a) the impulse of the force over the 5.00-s time interval, (b) the final velocity the particle attains if it is originally at rest, (c) its final velocity if its original velocity is 2.00im/s, and (d) the average force exerted on the particle for the time interval between 0 and 5.00 s.

A cruise ship with a mass of 1.00107kg strikes a pier at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It comes to rest after traveling 6.00 m, damaging the ship, the pier, and the tugboat captain’s finances. Calculate the average force exerted on the pier using the concept of impulse. (Hint: First calculate the time it took to bring the ship to rest, assuming a constant force.)
A 60-kg soccer player jumps vertically upwards and heads the 0.45-kg ball as it is descending vertically with a speed of 25 m/s. (a) If the player was moving upward with a speed of 4.0 m/s just before impact, what will be the speed of the ball immediately after the collision if the ball rebounds vertically upwards and the collision is elastic? (b) If the ball is in contact with the players head for 20 ms, what is the average acceleration of the ball? (Note that the force of gravity may be ignored during the brief collision time.)
A tennis ball of mass 57.0 g is held just above a basketball of mass 590 g. With their centers vertically aligned, both balls are released from rest at the same time, falling through a distance of 1.20 m, as shown in Figure P6.45. (a) Find the magnitude of the basketballs velocity the instant before the basketball reaches the ground. (b) Assume that an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball so that it collides with the tennis ball just above it. To what height does the tennis ball rebound? Figure P6.45
In Section 1.4, we considered the collision of a karate expert’s hand with a concrete block.

Find the impulse and the average force exerted on the block by the fist during the collision.

Two particles with masses m and 3m are moving toward each other along the x axis with the same initial speeds i. The particle with mass m is traveling to the left, and particle with mass 3m is traveling to the right. They undergo a head-on elastic collision, and each rebounds along the same line as it approached. Find the filial speeds of the particles.
Figure 8.16 shows a cube at rest and a small object heading toward it. (a) Describe the directions (angle 1 ) at which the small object can emerge after colliding elastically with the cube. How does 1 depend on b, the so-called impact parameter? Ignore any effects that might be due to rotation after the collision, and assume that the cube is much more massive than the small object. (b) Answer the same questions if the small object instead collides with a massive sphere. Figure 8.16 A small object approaches a collision with a much more massive cube, after which its velocity has the direction 1. The angles at which the small object can be scattered are determined by the shape of the object it strikes and the impact parameter b.
