Question
During a storm, rain comes straight down with an initial velocity of vi=-15 m/s and hits the roof of a car perpendicularly (see Figure below). The mass of rain per second that strikes the car roof is 0.061 kg/s. Assuming that the rain comes to rest upon striking the car (final velocity, vf = 0 m/s), find the average force exerted by the rain on the roof.
- Vf value is not included as reference for significant figures for the final answer
- Tip: Be careful with the direction of the final answer (force exerted by raindrop) :)
Round your answer to 2 significant figures.

- 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 the first part?arrow_forwardAn 70 kg basketball player lands from a jump and tries to stop her forward motion or momentum.

A moving billiard ball hits an identical (except for color) stationary ball. After the collision, the orange ball always goes off in the positive x-direction. The final speeds are v and V. Calculate the angle θ that the green ball goes off in. (θ should be positive.) V0 = the initial green body's speed = 6 m/s M = the mass of both balls = 6 kg φ = the incoming green ball's angle = 70o It's always a good idea to check your answer with the momentum-conservation and energy-conservation equations.arrow_forward
