4.00 m/s. How much force is exerted on the table, taking the effective mass of his forearm and
hand to be 1.5 kg?

- A stationary 1.57-kg potato is struck by a stick, delivering a horizontal force of F(t) = at — bt² where t is the time in milliseconds from the instant the stick first contacts the potato. Find the potato's speed as it loses contact with the stick at t = 3.56 ms if a = 1,222 N/(ms) and b = 22 N/(ms)². (Hint: Be very careful with units.) V = m/sarrow_forwardlower a crate of mass ?1=5.00 kgm1=5.00 kg to the bottom of a steep ravine of height ?=25.0 mH=25.0 m. The crewman of mass ?2=55.6 kgm2=55.6 kg is walking while holding the rope, being careful to lower the crate at a constant speed of ?0=1.50 m/sv0=1.50 m/s. Unfortunately, when the crate reaches a point ℎ=13.9 mh=13.9 m above the ground, the crewman steps on a slick patch of ice and slips. The crate immediately accelerates toward the ground, dragging the hapless crewman across the ice and toward the edge of the cliff. Assuming the ice is perfectly slick, so that there is no friction between the crewman and the ice once he slips and falls down, at what speed ?1v1 will the crate hit the ground? Assume also that the rope is long enough to allow the crate to hit the ground before the crewman slides over the side of the cliff, and that the pulley is frictionless. ?1arrow_forwardA car of mass 1670kg initially at a speed of 80 km/m crushes into a wall, if the accident lasted for 0.2 sec. what is the amount of force exerted in the car during the crasharrow_forward

Ignoring wind resistance, with what force does the package hit the ground? A second robot drops a Nerf ball off the same roof, 12.4 m tall. The Nerf ball has a mass of 0.001kg. Which one (package or Nerf ball) hits the ground sooner?arrow_forwardA trap-jaw ant snaps its mandibles shut at very high speed, a good trait for catching small prey. But an ant can also slam its mandibles into the ground; the resulting force can launch the ant into the air for a quick escape. A 12 mg ant hits the ground with an average force of 47 mN for a time of 0.10 ms; these are all typical values. At what speed does it leave the ground? Answer out to 3 decimal places.arrow_forward
- Daredevil Darla has heard that to avoid injury when jumping out of her rocket she should bend her knees upon landing. Darla has a mass of 74 kg. If just before contact with the ground, she has a downward speed of 7.3 m/s, then. . . (a) In a stiff -legged landing she comes to a halt in 2.0 ms. Find the average net force that acts on her during this time. ( b) When she bends her knees, Darla comes to a halt in 0.10 s. Find the average net force now. (c) During the landing, there are two forces acting on Darla: the normal force from the ground points upward, while her weight force points downward. The average net force acting on Darla includes both of these forces. Taking into account the directions of the forces, find the force of the ground on Darla in parts (a) and (b).arrow_forwardA trap-jaw ant snaps its mandibles shut at very high speed, a good trait for catching small prey.
