- A car crashes into a large tree that does not move. The car goes from 30 m/s to 0 in 1.3 m. (a) What impulse is applied to the driver by the seatbelt, assuming he follows the same motion as the car? (b) What is the average force applied to the driver by the seatbelt?arrow_forwardSven hits a baseball (m = 0.15 kg). He applies an average force of 50.0 N. The ball had an initial velocity of 35.0 m/s to the right and a final velocity of 40.0 m/s to the left as viewed by a fan in the stands. a. What is the impulse delivered by Svens bat to the baseball? b. How long is his bat in contact with the ball?arrow_forwardA tennis player receives a shot with the ball (0.060 0 kg) traveling horizontally at 50.0 m/s and returns the shot with the ball traveling horizontally at 40.0 m/s in the opposite direction. (a) What is the impulse delivered to the ball by the tennis racquet? (b) What work does the racquet do on the ball?arrow_forward
- (a) At what speed would a 2.00104 -kg airplane have to fly to have a momentum of 1.60109kgm/s (the same as the ship's momentum in the problem above)? (b) What is the plane's momentum when it is taking off at a speed of 60.0 m/s? (c) If the ship is an aircraft carrier that launches these airplanes with a catapult, discuss the implications of your answer to (b) as it relates to recoil effects of the catapult on the ship.arrow_forwardA truck collides with a small, empty parked car. Explain your answers to the parts below. a. Compare the force exerted by the truck on the car with the force exerted by the car on the truck. b. Compare the impulse exerted by the truck on the car with the impulse exerted by the car on the truck. c. Compare the change in the trucks momentum with the change in the cars momentum.arrow_forward(a) What is the mass of a large ship that has a momentum of 1.60109kgm/s, when the ship is moving at a speed of 48.0 km/h? (b) Compare the ship's momentum to the momentum of a 1100-kg artillery shell fired at a speed of 1200 m/s.arrow_forward
- A tennis player receives a shot with the ball (0.060 0 kg) traveling horizontally at 20.0 m/s and returns the shot with the ball traveling horizontally at 40.0 m/s in the opposite direction. (a) What is the impulse delivered to the ball by the tennis racket? (b) Some work is done on the system of the ball and some energy appears in the ball as an increase in internal energy during the collision between the ball and the racket. What is the sum W Eint for the ball?arrow_forwardTwo pucks in a laboratory are placed on an air table. Puck 1 has twice the mass of puck 2. They are pushed toward each other and strike in a head-on collision. Initially, puck 2 is twice as fast as puck 1. a. What is the total momentum before the collision? b. What is the center-of-mass velocity before the collision? c. If the pucks are initially 2.70 m apart, how far did puck 1 move before the collision?arrow_forward(a) A 5.00-kg squid initially at rest ejects 0.250 kg of fluid with a velocity of 10.0 m/s.

(b) How much energy is lost to work done against friction?arrow_forward
- You are coasting on your 10-kg bicycle at 15 m/s and a 5.0-g bug splatters on your helmet. The bug was initially moving at 2.0 m/s in the same direction as you. If your mass is 60 kg, (a) what is the initial momentum of you plus your bicycle? (b) What is the initial momentum of the bug? (c) What is your change in velocity due to the collision with the bug? (d) What would the change in velocity have been if the bug were traveling in the opposite direction?arrow_forwardA 0.240-kg billiard ball that is moving at 3.00 m/s strikes the bumper of a pool table and bounces straight back at 2.40 m/s (80% of its original speed). The collision lasts 0.0150 s. (a) Calculate the average force exerted on the ball by the bumper. (b) How much kinetic energy in joules is lost during the collision?
