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 8.50 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,…
Kara Moore was applying make up in the parking lot Unaware that Lisa's car was stopped in her lane 30 ft ahead. Kara rear ended Lisa's car. Kara's 1300 kg car was moving a 11m/s and completerly stopped after hitting Lisa;s car in 0.14 sec. What is the magnitude of the force experienced by Kara's car?
Highway safety engineers want to design roadside barriers that will crumple in the event that a car drives off the road and collides with them, slowing down the car more gradually. The average person has a mass of 68 kg and travels on a highway at a velocity of 27 m/s. If the engineers know that the maximum force that a person can safely withstand is 2180 N, approximately how much time is required to crumple the barrier to safely slow the person with this force?

A high-speed photograph of a club hitting a golf ball is shown in the figure below. Ted Kinsman/Photo Researchers, Inc. The club was in contact with a ball, initially at rest, for about 0.0050 s. If the ball has a mass of 55 g and leaves the head of the club with a speed of 2.3 x 10² ft/s, find the average force (in kN) exerted on the ball by the club. KN

Three cars of equal mass and velocities are traveling south down 41 through Acworth. When they each see the traffic light change from yellow to red, they step on the brake pedal. Car A comes to a stop in a distance of 200 meters while car B comes to a stop in 100 meters and Car C comes to a stop in 50 meters. Which car will have the greatest force exerted on it? Required to answer. Single choice.
Imagine a collision between two objects of equal mass traveling towards each other at the same speed. m1 = m2 and v2 = -v1. Which object will experience the largest force? Explain.
Consider the following question: A car moving at 10 m/s crashes into a tree and stops in 0.26 s. Calculate the force the seatbelt exerts on a passenger in the car to bring him to a halt. The mass of the passenger is 70 kg. Would the answer to this question be different if the car with the 70-kg passenger had collided with a car that has a mass equal to and is traveling in the opposite direction and at the same speed? Explain your answer.
