Suppose a 140 g baseball traveling at 27 m/s strikes your head and stops in 1.1 ms What force does the baseball exert on your head? What is the magnitude of the force that stops the baseball?
A 200 g hockey puck is launched up a metal ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the hockey puck and the metal ramp are μs = 0.40 and μk = 0.30, respectively. The puck's initial speed is 4.9 m/s. What speed does it have when it slides back down to its starting point?

Suppose a 140 g baseball traveling at 40 m/s strikes your head at an angle of 20 degrees from the horizontal. The forehead can undergo a displacement of roughly about 0.75mm before a fracture and the cheekbone only about 0.2mm. What is the magnitude of the force that stops the baseball? What force does the baseball exert on your head? Explain. Are you in danger of a fracture if the ball hits you in the forehead? On the cheek? What is the time interval necessary for either the forehead or cheek bone to break based on the forces stated?arrow_forward
