If a laptop computer weighting 22 N is dropped from a distance of 1 m onto a floor, determine the average reaction force from the floor if the time of contact is 0.1 s and 2.0

Lions 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. Find the final speed ?fvf of the lion‑gazelle system just after the lion attacks. vf=? in m/s

Most of us know intuitively that in a head-on collision between a large dump truck and a subcompact car, you are better off being in the truck than in the car. Why is this? Many people imagine that the collision force exerted on the car is much greater than that exerted on the truck. To substantiate this view, they point out that the car is crushed, whereas the truck is only dented. This idea of unequal forces, of course, is false; Newton's third law tells us that both objects are acted upon by forces of the same magnitude. The truck suffers less damage because it is made of stronger metal. But what about the two drivers? Do they experience the same forces? To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is initially moving at 7.70 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on collision. Each driver has mass 72.0 kg. Including the masses of the drivers, the total masses of the vehicles are 800 kg for the car and 4,000 kg for the truck. If the collision time is 0.110 s,…

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.

A 115kg rugby player is initially running at 5.5 m/s in the + direction, but collides with a goalpost and experiences a backward force of 1.71 × 10^4 N for 5.25 × 10^-2 s. what is the final \velocity of the rugby player in the horizontal direction

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).

A soccer player hits a ball incoming with 2.4 m/s in the West direction. After the kick, the ball changes its direction by 90 degrees and start moving with 1.2 m/s in the North. What is the average force applied if the interaction time is 0.2 seconds and the mass of the ball is 0.3 kg.

A 0.145-kg baseball pitched horizontally at 34.0 m/s strikes a bat and is popped straight up to a height of 55.2 m . a)If the contact time is 2.90 ms , calculate the magnitude of the average force on the ball during the contact. b)Calculate the direction of the average force on the ball during the contact.
