Question
A cruise ship with a mass of 1.15 × 107 kg strikes a pier at a speed of 0.75 m/s. It comes to rest over a distance of 6.15 m, damaging the ship, the pier, and the tugboat captain’s finances. Assume a constant acceleration occurs during the collision.
1).Find the average force Fsp being exerted on the pier as the ship hits it, in terms of the time of interaction Δt, the initial velocity of the ship v, and the mass of the ship m. Take the motion of the cruise ship to be in the positive direction.
2).

- 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)?arrow_forwardA and B pleasearrow_forwardTwo bricks, each of mass M, head directly toward each other on a frictionless surface and collide, as shown.
