Two students are watching an action film in which a car drives down a ramp onto the back of a moving lorry. Both are moving at high speed, the car slightly faster than the lory. One student complains that this is impossible because the car would not be able to stop before hitting the cab of the lorry. The car has mass 1250 kg and is moving at a speed of 28.0 ms. The lorry has mass 3500 kg and a speed of 25.5 m s¯ª. The length of the flat back of the lorry allows a braking distance of 5.0 m. By considering both momentum and energy show that the stunt is possible, provided a minimum force of about 600 N slows the car down. You should support your explanations with calculations. Treat the situation as one in which two obiects join together.

Kaya, a crew member on an interplanetary space ship, is on a spacewalk. She realizes that her ship is moving away from her at 0.5 m/s. She and her spacesuit have a total mass of 95 kg. Her space suit includes a 15 kg backpack, which is included in the 95 kg total mass.a). What is the minimum velocity she will have to throw the backpack so that she can gain enough velocity to eventually catch up with the ship? b). Kaya applies an average force of 400 N to the backpack for 0.05 seconds. Will Kaya make it back to the ship? If so, determine how much time it will take for her to reach the ship. If not, determine how much more force she would need to apply to make it back.
An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only a rope and a bag of tools. First he tries to throw a rope to his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of ma = 102 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of mp = 19.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at Vj = 2.10 m/s initially, what is the minimum final speed vp.f of the bag of tools with respect to the space station that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever? Ub.f = m/s
A toy car with a mass of 128 g moves to the right with a speed of 0.810 m/s. A small child drops a 30.0-g piece of clay onto the car. The clay sticks to the car and the car continues to the right. What is the change in speed of the car? Consider the frictional force between the car and the ground to be negligible. -0.15 m/s
Albert and his friend Isaac are standing in the middle of a sheet of ice in the student parking lot when they decide to give each other a push. If Albert has a mass of 73.6 kg and moves to the right at 1.30 m/s after the push, how fast will Isaac move if his mass is 51.8 kg? m/s
an iron ball with a mass of 67.5 kg is traveling with an initial velocity of 20.5 m/s. the ball is hit with a hammer, which remains in contact with the ball for 0.20 sec. how much force must the hammer hit the ball with to cause it to change directions?
A skater of mass 72.5 kg initially moves in a straight line at a speed of 4.80 m/s. The skater approaches a child of mass 35.0 kg, whom he lifts on his shoulders. Assuming there are no external horizontal forces, what is the skater's final velocity?
Kyle, a 95.0 kg football player, leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.430 kg ball precisely at the peak of his jump, when he is 0.538 meters off the ground. He hits the ground 0.0333 metersaway from where he leapt. If the ball was moving horizontally when it was caught, how fast was the ball traveling? ball's speed: ? m/s
A very hard rubber ball (m = 0.6 kg) is falling vertically at 5 m/s just before it bounces on the floor. The ball rebounds back at essentially the same speed. If the collision with the floor lasts 0.05 s, what is the average force exerted by the floor on the ball? __________________ N
Use g = 9.80 m/s^2 and assume all numbers are accurate to 3 significant figures unless otherwise indicated. Two objects are sliding on a horizontal, frictionless surface along the x axis. Object 1 has a mass of 1 kg and is moving toward the right with a speed of 2 m/s. Object 2, initially located to the right of object 1, has a mass of 2 kg and is moving to the right with a speed of 1 m/s. They have a “head-on” collision (meaning they continue to travel along the x- axis after the collision). What are the velocities (both magnitude and direction) of both objects after the collision?
Identical twins, each with mass 62.0 kg, are on ice skates and at rest on a frozen lake, which may be taken as frictionless. Twin A is carrying a backpack of mass 12.0 kg. She throws it horizontally at 2.80 m/s to Twin B. Neglecting any gravity effects, what are the subsequent speeds of Twin A and Twin B? Twin A m/s Twin B m/s
A delivery person carries a stack of three boxes labeled 1, 2, and 3. Box 3 is on the bottom of the stack, and box 1 is on the top. The masses of boxes 1, 2, and 3 are m = 3.5 kg, m2 = 4.5 kg, and m3 = 8.0 kg, respectively. The delivery person places the stack of boxes on an elevator floor, which then accelerates upward with a magnitude of a = 0.90 m/s?. Assume that the positive direction is up. Calculate the contact force F1-2 that box 1 exerts on box 2 during the acceleration. F-2 = N %3D Calculate the contact force F3-2 that box 3 exerts on box 2 during the acceleration. F3-2 = N
