A team of engineers is testing the safety performance of new bumpers. They carry out trial collisions using different bumper designs. They measure the amount of time it takes the car's velocity to reduce to zero after each collision. Why are these measurements important in testing the safety of the bumper? As the time increases, the force of the collision increases. As the time increases, the car's momentum increases. As the time increases, the force of the collision remains constant. As the time increases, the force of the collision decreases.

An ice skater with mass = mi goes skating while carrying a bag of sand with initial mass = m0 . At one point, she gives herself a constant initial velocity v0 , and then slowly pours the sand out of the bag at a constant rate κ. Is she speeding up or slowing down? Write out an expression for the velocity as a function of time. How long does it take for her velocity to change by a factor of 2? Your answer can include mi, m0, v0, and κ.

Dr. Miller is conducting an experiment. He has a stack of books on a table which is frictionless and flat. He applies a force F on the stack, and finds that it accelerates at 3.0 m/s². He then adds a book to the stack. This is a physics textbook that has a mass of 1.0 kg. He then applies the same force F on the stack and finds that now the stack accelerates at 2.0 m/s². What was the mass of the original stack of books? a) 1.0 kg Ob) 2.0 kg c) 3.0 kg O d) none of the above
A block of mass m1 = 11.5 kg slides along a horizontal surface (with friction, μk = 0.21) a distance d = 2.15 m before striking a second block of mass m2 = 8.25 kg.

How far does block two travel, d2 in meters, before coming to rest after the collision?

Tennis balls are tested by being dropped from a height of 2.5 m onto a concrete floor. The 57 g ball hits the ground, compresses, then rebounds. A ball will be accepted for play if it rebounds to a height of about 1.4 m; it will be rejected if the bounce height is much more or much less than this. Suppose a ball is dropped from 2.5 m and rebounds to 1.4 m.a. How fast is the ball moving just before it hits the floor?b. What is the ball’s speed just after leaving the floor?c. What happens to the “lost” energy?d. If the time of the collision with the floor is 6.0 ms, what is the average force on the ball during the impact?

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most famous detectives in fiction literature. Even with limited resources to solve crime in the 1800-1900's, Holmes could solve countless mysteries. A carriage was North-bound traveling at a leisurely pace of 5 km/hr. It collided with a Westward-bound speeding carriage and they stuck together, skidding across the dirt at an North-West direction away from the point of collision. What physics law(s) does Sherlock use to solve this mystery? Conservation of Momentum Conservation of Energy Conservation of Angular Momentum Both Conservation of Momentum and Energy OOO O
