- A 0.11 kg apple falls off a tree branch that is 2.2 m above the thick grass. The apple sins 0.065 m into the grass while stopping. Determine the average contact force that the grass alone exerts on the apple while stopping it. Ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardA bat collides with a 0.300 kg baseball over a period of 2.00 ms (m = milli). If v1=12.0 m/s, θ1=35° and v2=23 m/s, determine the magnitude of the force exerted on the ball by the bat.arrow_forwardA woman weighing 57.1 kg stands at one end of a 120-kg raft that is 6.00 m long. The other end of the raft is 0.500 m from a pier. So, before the woman moves, she is at a total distance of 6.50 m away from the pier. The woman walks toward the pier until she gets to the other end of the uniform raft and stops there. What is the distance between the uniform raft and the pier?arrow_forward
- 4. A fisherman in a boat catches a shark with a harpoon. The shark struggles for a while and then becomes limp when at a distance of 300 m from the boat. The fisherman pulls the shark all the way to the boat by the rope attached to the harpoon. During this operation, the boat (initially at rest) moves 45 m in the direction of the shark. The mass of the boat is 5400 kg. What is the mass of the shark? Pretend that the water exerts no friction. (Hint: Friction is ignored, so there are no external forces, and the center of mass of the system (the shark and boat) should not move at all.)

The 62.5 kg driver, who is not wearing a seat belt, slams into the steering wheel and is contact with it for 0.0500 s. What magnitude of force does the driver experience as a result of the collision? Imagine that the crashed car deployed an air bag during the impact. The driver was in contact with the air bag for 0.500 s during the crash. What magnitude of force does the driver experience as a result of the collision? N Blank 1: Blank 2:arrow_forwardLions can run at speeds up to approximately 80.0 km/h. A hungry 109 kg lion running northward at top speed attacks and holds onto a 39.0 kg Thomson's gazelle running eastward at 75.0 km/h.

- 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.arrow_forward1) A baseball with a mass of 137 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 40.6 m/s (91 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is in contact with the bat for 1.05 ms and then travels straight back at a speed of 45.4 m/s (102 mi/h). Determine the average force (in N) exerted on the ball by the bat. Neglect the weight of the ball (it is much smaller than the force of the bat) and choose the direction of the incoming ball to be positive. 2)A 4.50 gram bullet is fired from a rifle at a horizontal speed of 210 m/s. If the rifle has a weight of 25.0 N and is initially motionless, determine the recoil speed of the rifle.arrow_forward10arrow_forward
