In a crash test, a car of mass 1.50 x 10³ kg collides with a wall and rebounds. The initial and final velocities of the car are 15.0 m/s [W] and 2.60 m/s [E], respectively. If the collision lasts for 0.150 s, find (a) the impulse delivered to the car due to the collision and [Impulse = 2.64 x 104 kg m/s] (b) the size and direction of the average force exerted on the car. [F=+11.76 x 10³ N ]

4. Two 0.4 kg pool balls travel in a straight line towards each other. The first pool ball has a velocity of 0.4 m/s to the left and the second has a velocity of 0.6 m/s to the right. If the first pool ball has a velocity of 0.5 m/s to the right, what is the velocity of the second pool ball after the collision? Before After Object 1 Mass Velocity Momentum Object 2 Mass Velocity Momentum

A girl of mass 55 kg throws a ball of mass 0.80 kg against a wall. The ball strikes the wall horizontally with a speed of 25 m/s, and it bounces back with this same speed.

A dad is pulling his son and a load of groceries on two sleds that are connected by a rope. The mass of the boy and sled 1 is 46 kg, and the mass of the groceries and sled 2 is 51 kg. The dad is pulling so that the sleds accelerate at a rate of 0.56 m/s². If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sleds and the ice is 0.18, what is the tension in the string between them, and with what force are the sleds pulled by dad? (1 Point) 61 N; 120 N 110 N; 120 N 90 N; 220 N 120 N; 220 N

Jennifer hits a stationary 0.20-kg ball, and it leaves her racket at 40 m/s. Time-lapse photography shows that the ball was in contact with the racket for 40 ms. (a) What average force did the ball exert on the racket? (b) What is the ratio of this force to the weight of the ball?

You drop a stone from a position of rest. How far will it fall vertically in the first 8 s? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². Answer in units of m. If you instead toss it horizontally at 5 m/s, how far will it fall vertically in the first 8 s?

Two lifeguards pull on ropes attached to a raft. If they pull in the same direction, the raft experiences a net force of 334 N to the right. If they pull in opposite directions, the raft experiences a net force of 106 N to the left. a. Draw a free-body diagram representing the raft for each situation. b. Find the force exerted by each lifeguard on the raft for each situation. (Disregard any other forces acting on the raft.)
