A car traveling at 53 km/h hits a bridge abutment. A passenger in the car moves forward a distance of 65 cm (with respect to the road) while being brought to rest by an inflated air bag. What magnitude of force (assumed constant) acts on the passenger's upper torso, which has a mass of 41 kg?

Balancing carefully, three boys inch out onto a horizontal tree branch above a pond, each planning to dive in separately. The third boy in line notices that the branch is barely strong enough to support them. He decides to jump straight up and land back on the branch to break it, spilling all three into the pond. When he starts to carry out his plan, at what precise moment does the branch break? Explain. Suggestion: Pretend to be the third boy and imitate what he does in slow motion. If you are still unsure, stand on a bathroom scale and repeat the suggestion.
Why is the following situation impossible? An astronaut, together with the equipment he carries, has a mass of 150 kg. He is taking a space walk outside his spacecraft, which is drifting through space with a constant velocity. The astronaut accidentally pushes against the spacecraft and begins moving away at 20.0 m/s, relative to the spacecraft, without a tether. To return, he takes equipment off his space suit and throws it in the direction away from the spacecraft. Because of his bulky space suit, he can throw equipment at a maximum speed of 5.00 m/s relative to himself. After throwing enough equipment, he starts moving back to the spacecraft and is able to grab onto it and climb inside.
1. A 68.5-kg skater moving initially at 2.40 m/s on rough horizontal ice comes to rest uniformly in 3.52 s due to friction from the ice. What force does friction exert on the skater?
1. A driver who does not wear a seatbelt continues to move forward with a speed of 18.0 m/s (due to inertia) until somethingsolid like the steering wheel is encountered. The driver nowcomes to rest in a much shorter distance—perhaps only a fewcentimeters. Find the magnitude of the net force acting on a65.0-kg driver who is decelerated from 18.0 m/s to rest in 5.00 cm. Graph and Explain
e 61. At the local grocery store, you push a 14.5-kg shopping cart. You stop for a moment to add a bag of dog food to your cart. With a force of 12.0 N, you now accelerate the cart from rest through a distance of 2.29 m in 3.00 s. What was the mass of the dog food?
3. A 65.00-kg athlete applies a force of 400.0 N to a 25.00-kg cart, which is initially at rest, over a period of 2.00 s before jumping onto the cart. Assuming there is no friction between the cart and the road on which it runs, what is its velocity after the athlete jumps on?
a)Joe pushes down the length of the handle of a 12.8 kg lawn spreader. The handle makes an angle of 47.6◦ with the horizontal. Joe wishes to accelerate the spreader from rest to 1.32 m/s in 1.6 s. What force must Joe apply to the handle? b)Two forces are the only forces acting on a 2.7 kg object which moves with an acceleration of 4.1 m/s2 in the positive y-direction. One of the forces acts in the positive x-direction and has a magnitude of 9.5 N. What is the magnitude of the other force f2?
A 2500 kg van accelerates down an icy driveway, going from rest to 30.0 m/s in 6.00 s. During its motion, a 0.100 kg stuffed toy hangs by a cord from the van’s ceiling. The van’s acceleration is such that the cord remains perpendicular to the ceiling. Determine the: a) angle ?; and the b) tension in the cord.
