- A 10-m-long glider with a mass of 680 kg (including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at 40 m/s when a 60 kg skydiver drops out by releasing his grip on the glider.

She starts out by moving forward with a speed of 12.8 m/s. She then applies the rocket brakes, but as the car comes to a stop she forgets to take her foot off the brake pedal and the rocket continues to apply its force. She ends up moving backwards with a speed of 9.32 m/s. The total time the brakes were firing was 6.74 seconds. (a) Find the change in momentum of the car. (b) Using the formula for impulse, calculate how much force the rocket brake was applying to the car on average, including the direction?arrow_forwardA 81.4 kg toy rocket is sent flying straight up into the air with an acceleration of 4.20 m/s2. After 4.70 s it explodes and breaks apart into two pieces. The heavier piece has a mass of 66.0 kg. If the lighter piece is able to reach a maximum height of 168 m above the ground, what is the speed of the heavier piece of the toy rocket just after the explosion?arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardA 128 kg astronaut and his equipment are initially at rest.
