The 1-kg ball is thrown at the suspended 26-kg block with a velocity of 9 m/s. If the time of impact between the ball and the block is 0.004
s, determine the average normal force exerted on the block during this time. Take e = 0.8. Express your answer in kN.
B
A 70 kg space voyager is stranded on a 700 kg escape pod that has left the main spacecraft and is floating in free space (you may assume its velocity is 0 m/s). A rescue ship is approaching and will pass within 100 m of the escape pod. The space voyager plans to push herself away from the escape pod towards the point by which the rescue ship will pass (point P in the diagram). The space voyager knows that she can apply a constant force of 100 N while she pushes for the 0.50 s it takes her to straighten her arms.
(a) What will her velocity be after she has finished pushing against the rescue pod?
(b) How long before the rescue ship is due to arrive a point P should the space voyager begin her push?
