Additional Integrated Problems
Dolphins and other sea creatures can leap to great heights by swimming straight up and exiting the water at a high speed. A 210 kg dolphin leaps straight up to a height of 7.0 m. When the dolphin reenters the water, drag from the water brings it to a stop in 1.5 m. Assuming that the force of the water on the dolphin stays constant as it slows down,
a. How much time does it take for the dolphin to come to rest?
b. What is the force of the water on the dolphin as it is coming to rest?

A test car is driving toward a solid crash-test barrier with a speed of 45 mi/h. Two seconds prior to impact, the car begins to brake, but it is still moving when it hits the wall. After the collision with the wall, the car crumples somewhat and comes to a complete stop. In order to estimate the average force exerted by the wall on the car, what information would you need to collect?
a. The (negative) acceleration of the car before it hits the wall and the distance the car travels while braking.
b. The (negative) acceleration of the car before it hits the wall and the velocity of the car just before impact.
c. The velocity of the car just before impact and the duration of the collision with the wall.
d. The duration of the collision with the wall and the distance the car travels while braking.
