You are testing a new car using crash test dummies. Consider two ways to slow the car from 90 km/h (56 mi/h) to a complete stop: (i) You let the car slam into a wall, bringing it to a sudden stop. (ii) You let the car plow into a giant tub of gelatin so that it comes to a gradual halt. In which case is there a greater impulse of the net force on the car? Prove and tick below. A. in case (i) B. in case (ii) C. The impuls is the same in both cases. D. The impuls of first case > the impuls of the second case. E. The impuls of first case < the impuls of the second case.

A crate is attached to a winch or pulley that pulls the crate upwards. The crate has a mass of 120 kg and the coefficient of static and kinetic friction between the crate and surface is 0.60 and 0.50, respectively. The crate starts from rest and the surface is measured 30° from the horizontal. If the pulley exerts a tension T = 1220 + 200t, a. What is the impulse applied to the crate during the first second of motion? b. After 1 second, what is the velocity of the crate? c. Compute the power transmitted to the winch after the first second.
Consider an automobile accident in which a 1000 kg car strikes a tree in an inelastic collision. The speed of the car just before the collision was 72 km/hr. The duration of the impulse is 0.01s. What force does the passenger experience? In the same automobile, a passenger of mass 50 kg is sitting, unrestrained, in the front seat. The speed of the passenger was 72 km/hr before the collision and zero afterewards. The duration of the impulse that changes is or her momentum is again 0.01 s. What force does the passenger experience? Same automobile accident, except that the passenger is restrained by a seat belt and an air bag explodes at the moment of impact. The passenger's speed still changes from 72 km/hr to zero, but the air bag slows the time during which this change occurs to 0.01 s. What force does the passenger experience?
Sven hits a baseball m= 0.15 kg. He applies an average force of 52 N. The ball had an initial velocity of 37.5 m/s to the right and a final velocity of 43 m/s to the left as viewed by the fans in the stands. (A): What is the impulse delivered by Sven's bat to the baseball? (Assume to the right as viewed by the fan is positive. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) ____ kg* m/s (B): How long is his bat in contact with the ball? _____ sec
irai, a 50 kg figure skater, lands on the ice her feet after landing the triple axel and immediately jumps up again to perform a double toe-loop. The instant before her skates first touch the ice after the triple axel, her vertical velocity is 3 m/s downward. Her velocity is 2 m/s upward when her skates leave the ice for the second jump, 0.8 s later. (a) What is the vertical impulse exerted on Mirai during the 0.8 s she is in contact with the ice between the two jumps? (b) What is the average net vertical force exerted on Mirai during this 0.8 s? (c) What is the average reaction force exerted upward by the ice on Mirai during the 0.8 s?
A metal sphere was released from a vertical height of 3.758 meters. When it hit the ground, it rebounds to its original height. Assume the ground exerted a force for 0.01 seconds, what amount of acceleration was caused by the impulse?
A cruise ship with a mass of 1.43 ✕ 107 kg strikes a pier at a speed of 0.672 m/s. It comes to rest 5.94 m later, damaging the ship, the pier, and the tugboat captain's finances. Calculate the average force (in N) exerted on the pier using the concept of impulse. (Hint: First calculate the time it took to bring the ship to rest. Assume the ship moves in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
