A man claims that he can hold onto a 13.0-kg child in a head-on collision as long as he has his seat belt on. Consider this man in a collision in which he is in one of two identical cars each traveling toward the other at 50.0 mi/h relative to the ground. The car in which he rides is brought to rest in 0.07 s. (a) Find the magnitude of the average force needed to hold onto the child. N (b) Based on your result to part (a), is the man's claim valid? O This man's claim is nonsense. O This man's claim is legitimate.

In an experiment designed to determine the velocity of a bullet fired by a certain gun, a wooden block of mass M = 500.0 g is supported only by its edges, and a bullet of mass m = 8.00 g is fired vertically upward into the block from close range below. After the bullet embeds itself in the block, the block and the bullet are measured to rise to a maximum height of 25.0 cm above the blocks original position. What is the speed of the bullet just before impact?
Latoya, sitting on a sled, is being pushed by Dewain on the horizontal surface of a frozen lake. Dewain slips and falls, giving the sled one final push, and the sled comes to rest 9.50 s later. The speed of the sled after the final push is 4.00 m/s, and the combined mass of the sled and Latoya is 32.5 kg. Using a momentum approach, determine the magnitude of the average friction force acting on the sled during this interval.
When a spacecraft collides with a planet, it is not necessary for them to actually touch each other, but when a car collides with a truck, the car and the truck must touch. Explain the difference between these two types of collisions.
An astronaut out on a spacewalk to construct a new section of the International Space Station walks with a constant velocity of 2.00 m/s on a flat sheet of metal placed on a flat, frictionless, horizontal honeycomb surface linking the two parts of the station. The mass of the astronaut is 75.0 kg, and the mass of the sheet of metal is 245 kg. a. What is the velocity of the metal sheet relative to the honeycomb surface? b. What is the speed of the astronaut relative to the honeycomb surface?
A car moving with an initial speed v collides with a second stationary car that is 54.9 percent as massive. After the collision the first car moves in the same direction as before with a speed that is 39.7 percent of the original speed. Calculate the final speed of the second car. Give your answer in units of the initial speed (i.e. as a fraction of v).

A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the average force due to the collision is correct? O The small car experiences the greater average force magnitude. The small car and the truck experience the same average force magnitude. O The truck experiences the greater average force magnitude. It is impossible to tell since the masses are not given. It is impossible to tell since the velocities are not given. L _
a he he e? JedW 84. N As of 2012, all of the shuttles in NASA's space shuttle pro- M 11010 mono gram have been retired. When they once launched, a space Runo shuttle (mass = 2.03 X 106 kg) would lift off as the thrust of its three main engines was suddenly augmented by the firing of the solid rocket boosters at t = 0 s. Suppose the shuttle's accelera- tion is given by a = 3.00t + 0.330t² - 0.100t³, where a is in meters per second squared and t is in seconds, in the first few seconds after liftoff. What is the change in the kinetic energy of the space shuttle during the first 3.50 s after liftoff in this scenario? MO
Because of your knowledge of physics, you have been assigned to investigate a train wreck between a fast moving passenger train and a slower moving freight train both going in the same direction. You have statements from the engineer of each train and the stationmaster, as well as some measurements you make. To check the consistency of the description of events leading up to the collision, you decide to calculate the distance from the station that the collision should have occurred if everyone’s statements were accurate. You will then compare that result to the actual position of the wreck that is 0.5 miles from the station. In this calculation you decide that you can ignore all reactiontimes. Here is what you know: • The stationmaster claims that she noted that the freight train was behind schedule. As regulations require, she switched on a warning light just as the last car of the freight train passed her. • The freight train engineer says he was going at a constant speed of 10 miles…
An uncovered hopper car from a freight train rolls without friction or air resistance along a level track at a constant speed of 5.73 m/s in the positive x- direction. The mass of the car is 1.03.105 kg. a) As the car rolls, a monsoon rainstorm begins, and the car begins to collect water in its hopper (see the figure). What is the speed of the car after 1.55. 104 kg of water collects in the car's hopper? Assume that the rain is falling vertically in the negative y-direction. 4.9805 m/s You are correct. Your receipt no. is 159-7863 Previous Tries b) The rain stops, and a valve at the bottom of the hopper is opened to release the water. The speed of the car when the valve is opened is again 5.73 m/s in the positive x-direction (see the figure). The water drains out vertically in the negative y-direction. What is the speed of the car after all the water has drained out? 6.59m/s << this is wrong Before rain Before draining Water y y x ➜x During rain Water While draining
