Question
A 3.039E+3-kg truck moving east at 10.4 m/s collides with a 1.808E+3-kg car moving west at 55.0 m/s. The collision takes place over a time interval of 0.305 s. The car and the truck stick together after the collision. Find the force (in N) of the car on the truck during the collision. Call this force positive if it points to the east, and negative if it points to the west.

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_forward

The mass of the spacecraft is 3.2 × 104 kg (about 32 tons). The rocket engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with a constant velocity of km/s. As you pass the location km you briefly fire side thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of N for 23.0 s. The ejected gases have a mass that is small compared to the mass of the spacecraft. You then continue coasting with the rocket engines turned off. Where are you an hour later? (Think about what approximations or simplifying assumptions you made in your analysis. Also think about the choice of system: what are the surroundings that exert external forces on your system?) 7₁ = marrow_forwardA 74.6-kg person, running horizontally with a velocity of +4.47 m/s, jumps onto a 11.4-kg sled that is initially at rest.
