A dump truck is being filled with sand. The sand falls straight downward from rest from a height of 1.99 m above the truck bed, and the mass of sand that hits the truck per second is 55.5 kg/s. The truck is parked on the platform of a weight scale. By how much does the scale reading exceed the weight of the truck and sand?

A student of mass 63 kg falls freely from rest and strikes the ground. During the collision with the ground, he comes to rest at a time of 0.04 seconds. The average force exerted on him by the ground is 18,000 N, where the upward direction is taken to be a positive direction. From what height did the student fall? Assume that the only force acting on him during the collision is only due to the ground

A tennis ball is flying east towards the wall with a speed of 40.3 m/s. After bounced against the wall, it's flying west with a speed of 28.2 m/s.  If the mass of the ball is 0.1 kg, and the time of collision with the wall is 0.033 second, what is the magnitude of force on the wall during this process in unit of Newton?

An ice skater with mass = mi goes skating while carrying a bag of sand with initial mass = m0 . At one point, she gives herself a constant initial velocity v0 , and then slowly pours the sand out of the bag at a constant rate κ. Is she speeding up or slowing down? Write out an expression for the velocity as a function of time. How long does it take for her velocity to change by a factor of 2? Your answer can include mi, m0, v0, and κ.

On the set of a new Hollywood movie, a 74.1-kg stunt actor (Max Payne) is tossed straight out of a helicopter hovering (stationary) at a height of 43.4 meters. The stunt actor is thrown from the helicopter at a speed of 4.17 m/s, eventually landing in the water below.  Determine the stunt actor's impact speed and assume negligible air resistance. You can use the approximation that g = 10 m/s2.

After falling from rest from a height of 31 m, a 0.60-kg ball rebounds upward, reaching a height of 21 m. If the contact between ball and ground lasted 2.5 ms, what average force was exerted on the ball?

A man ( mass = 100 kg) fall freely from rest and strikes the ground. During the collision with the ground, he comes to rest in a time of .2s. The average force exerted on her by the ground is + 2000 N, where the upward direction is taken to be the positive direction. A) from what height did he just fall? Assume the only force acting on him during the collision is that of the ground. B) suppose instead of the man, a 5 kg rubber ball was dropped from the same vertical distance and the ball bounced back conserving the linear momentum. What would be the velocity of the ball just when it bounced back?

A hockey player slaps a puck into a cushion, which brings the puck to rest.  If the puck's initial velocity was +40 m/s and it has a mass of 170 g, what force does the cushion apply to the puck?  Assume the cushion acts on the puck for 0.03 s and the surface that the puck slides on is frictionless.

Your friend is catching a falling basketball after it has passed through the basket. Her hands move straight down while catching the ball. It takes about 0.10 s for the player to lower her hands to stop the ball. Assume the mass of the ball is 0.60 kg, and that the ball has fallen a vertical distance of 1.2 m before reaching the player's hand. Determine the average force that her hands exert on the ball while catching it.

Michael fell asleep while driving home from school. His 1255 kg car hit a guardrail while moving at 15.98 m/s. The guardrail exerted a 6.110E4 N force on the car for 0.1233 s. After the car hit the guardrail, how fast was it moving?
