Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow. (a) Calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent's face, if the glove and face compress 7.50 m during a blow in which the 700-g arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. (b) Calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used, and the knuckles and face would compress only 20 cm. Assume the change in mass by removing the glove is negligible.

(1) A 1200 kg roller coaster cart is initially at rest at the top of the track at a height of 20 m above ground. (a) What is the speed of the roller coaster when it reached ground level? (assume no friction in this part of the track). (b) The roller coaster now continues to move horizontally. Find the distance the roller coaster will travel before arriving at a complete stop, if the coefficient of friction between the coaster and the track is 0.3.
A wooden crate with m = 1kg slides on a horizontal surface towards a wall as shown in the figure. The crate hits the wall with vo = -5m/s, bounces back and travels a distance of 1.5m until it stops. If the crate interacts with the wall for 2ms and the wall exerts an average force of Fay = 4000N find the coefficient of friction u between the crate and horizontal surface. (Take g = 10m/s²) Select one: O a. 0,5 O b. 0,8 O c. 0,1 O d. 0,4 O e. 0,3
(b) In unloading a grain from a hold of a ship, an elevator lifts the grain through a distance of 12 m. Grain is discharged at the top of the elevator at a rate of 2.0 kg each second, and the discharged speed of each grain particle is 3 m/s Find the minimum- horsepower motor that can elevate the grain in this way if it is 60% efficient.
