A 50.3-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocity of -1.38 m/s. Her hands are in contact with the wall for 0.746 s. Ignore friction and wind resistance. Find the average force she exerts on the wall (which has the same magnitude, but opposite direction, as the force that the wall applies to her). Note that this force has direction, which you should indicate with the sign of your answer. Number i Save for Later Units Attempts: 0 of 1 used Submit Answer
A car of mass m moves with a speed of Vo. The driver suddenly sees another car, of mass 3m, sitting at rest. The driver slams on the brakes. The coefficent of kinetic friction between the car and the road is μk. a) How far away must the second car be if the first car is to stop exactly in time to avoid hitting it? b) Suppose the car is a distance of d/2 away where d is the distance you found in part (a). Find the momentum of the car as it collides with the car at rest. c) Use conservation of momentum to calculate the speeds of both cars after the collision.

An 70 kg basketball player lands from a jump and tries to stop her forward motion or momentum. The normal contact force exerted by the floor on her shoes is 2800 N. The frictional force exerted by the floor on her shoes is 800 N and this force acts posteriorly on the player. There was minimal medial-lateral force during the landing and so this component of the ground reaction force can be ignored. What is the resultant ground reaction force exerted by the floor on the basketball player's shoes? How many times greater than the player's body weight is this resultant ground reaction force calculated in part a)?

A 400 g cart is moving along a horizontal, frictionless surface at a constant speed of30 cm/s. A 100 g piece of modelling clay is dropped vertically onto the cart from above. (a) Calculate the final speed of the system (clay + cart) if the clay sticks to the cart.(b) The cart has been slowed down a little bit after the clay sticks to the cart. Whattype of force caused the (negative) acceleration of the cart? What object applied this force?(c) Before it hit the cart the clay was moving downwards and therefore possesseddownwards momentum; after it hit the cart it stopped moving downwards. Why was theclay’s momentum not conserved as it hit the cart? What type of force caused the clay to stopmoving downwards? What object now possesses the clay’s downwards momentum?
