A car's bumper is designed to withstand a 5.76 km/h (1.6 m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force (in N) on a bumper that collapses 0.255 m while bringing a 880 kg car to rest from an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. (Enter a number.)

A car’s bumper is designed to withstand a 4.0-km/h (1.1-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damaging the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force on a bumper that collapses 0.175 m while bringing a 950-kg car to rest from an initial speed of 1.7 m/s, in newtons?
Calculate the force needed to bring a 900 kg car to rest from a speed of 90.0 km/h in a distance of 110 m (a fairly typical distance for a nonpanic stop).N(b) Suppose instead the car hits a concrete abutment at full speed and is brought to a stop in 2.00 m. Calculate the force exerted on the car and compare it with the force found in part (a), i.e. find the ratio of the force in part(b) to the force in part(a).(force in part (b) / force in part (a))

A person is crossing a bridge. The bridge is 3.2 meters long and is 25 kg. One side of the bridge rests on the ground while the other side of the bridge is elevated 25 degrees above the ground. The end of the bridge that is elevated is connected to a rope, which is attached to a overhanging section of a cliff. The person walking across is 62 kg, and walks three quarters of the way to the rope end of the bridge then stops. Please determine the magnitude of the force that the ground exerts on the bridge.

You push a box of mass 21.4 kg with your car up to an icy hill slope of irregular shape to a height 5.1 m. The box has a speed 13.3 m/s when it starts up the hill, the same time that you brake. It then rises up to the top (with no friction) to a flat area before elastically colliding with a smaller box of mass 14 kg. The boxes then fall off a sheer cliff individually to the ground (with no drag). (a) How far from the cliff does the heavier box hit the ground? (b) What is the direction of motion of the heavier box as it hits the ground? = ŷ + 2 (c) How far from the cliff does the lighter box hit the ground? (d) What is the direction of motion of the lighter box as it hits the ground? W = ŷ + 2
You’re an accident investigator at a scene where a drunk driver in a 2200 kg car has plowed into a 1400 kg parked car with its brake set. You measure skid marks showing that the combined wreckage moved 20 m before stopping, and you determine a frictional coefficient of 0.78. What do you report for the drunk driver’s speed just before the collision?
A ball of mass 0.300 kg is thrown upward, rising 10.0 m above the point at which it was released. Compute the average force exerted on the ball by the hand, if the hand moves through a distance of 20.0 cm as the ball is accelerated.
