Most of us know intuitively that in a head-on collision between a large dump truck and a subcompact car, you are better off being in the truck than in the car. Why is this? Many people imagine that the collision force exerted on the car is much greater than that exerted on the truck. To substantiate this view, they point out that the car is crushed, whereas the truck is only dented. This idea of unequal forces, of course, is false; Newton's third law tells us that both objects are acted upon by forces of the same magnitude. The truck suffers less damage because it is made of stronger metal. But what about the two drivers? Do they experience the same forces? To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is initially moving at 7.70 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on collision. Each driver has mass 72.0 kg. Including the masses of the drivers, the total masses of the vehicles are 800 kg for the car and 4,000 kg for the truck. If the collision time is 0.110 s,…

Suppose you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. 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 = m
