During an Olympic 100-m sprint race, Usain Bolt, the world record holder in that race, quickly accelerates to his top speed of 12.4 m/s. Analysis of his technique has shown that each of his feet makecontact with the ground for 0.0800 s, exerting a force of magnitude 2.80 x 10° N during this contact. This allows the 94.0 kg Bolt to leap forward and remain airborne for 0.120 s until the next foottouches the ground. (Ignore air resistance.)(a) What are the magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of the force (in N) Bolt's feet exert on the ground? (Round your answers to at least three significant figures.)horizontalNvertical(b) Assuming that the sprinter accelerates at a constant rate while his feet are in contact with the ground and does not slow down when he is airborne, by what amount does Bolt's horizontal speed(in m/s) increase with each step? (Round your answer to at least three significant figures.)m/s(c) Assuming that the sprinter's speed increases at a constant rate by the amount found in part (b) during the 0.0800 s of contact with the ground, and remains constant for the 0.120 s he is in theair, what is the time interval (in s) required for Bolt to reach his top speed?

A 3.08-g bullet embeds itself in a 1.7-kg block, which is attached to a spring of force constant 827-N/m. If the maximum compression of the spring is 4.45-cm, find the time of the bullet-block system to come to rest. Provide your final answer in milli seconds.
You have been chosen as the test subject for the newest attraction at Canada’s Wonderland. This attraction is a single-person roller coaster ride that has a 25.0 m drop followed by a collision with a plunger attached to a large spring that brings the ride to rest. The plunger/spring mechanism is composed of a large spring with a mass of 62.5 kg made of pure iron..The cart has a mass of 75.0 kg and starts at rest from the top of the track. To determine the total mass of the cart during the ride you must add your mass to the system. As the cart moves down the track it has been determined that friction in the wheels and axles results in the production of 12750 J of thermal and sound energy combined. The plunger/piston at the bottom of the device has been designed to stop the cart with a maximum acceleration of 5.00 g’s (i.e. 49.0 m/s2). What is your approximate mass in kilograms?

Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by the seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed (Newton's first law!) until hitting the dashboard or windshield. These are unyielding surfaces and the unfortunate occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about 5 mm. A 55 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 23.0 m/s. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys. Assume that the local acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is NOT restained by a seat belt and air bag.
