(a) Find an equation to determine the magnitude of the net force required to stop a car of mass m, given that the initial speed of the car is v0 and the stopping distance is x . (b) Find the magnitude of the net force if the mass of the car is 1050 kg, the initial speed is 40.0 km/h, and the stopping distance is 25.0 m.
A system can have a nonzero velocity while the net external force on it is zero. Describe such a situation.
A 75.0-kg person is riding in a car moving at 20.0 m/s when the car runs into a bridge abutment (see the following figure). a. Calculate the average force on the person if he is stopped by a padded dashboard that compresses an average of 1.00 cm. b. Calculate the average force on the person if he is stopped by an air bag that compresses an average of 15.0 cm.
A 0.500-kg potato is fired at an angle of 80.0 above the horizontal from a PVC pipe used as a “potato gun” and reaches a height of 110.0 m. (a) Neglecting air resistance, calculate the potato’s velocity when it leaves the gun. (b) The gun itself is a tube 0.430 m long. Calculate the average acceleration of the potato in the tube as it goes from zero to the velocity found in (a). (c) What is the average force on the potato in the gun? Express your answer in newtons and as a ratio to the weight of the potato.
A 65-kg person jumps from the first floor window of a burning building and lands almost vertically on the ground with a horizontal velocity of 3 m/s and vertical velocity of -9 m/s. Upon impact with the ground he is brought to rest in a short time. The force experienced by his feet depends on whether he keeps his knees stiff or bends them. Find the force on his feet in each case. a. First find the impulse on the person from the impact on the ground. Calculate both its magnitude and direction. b. Find the average force on the feet if the person keeps his leg stiff and straight and his center of mass drops by only 1 cm vertically and 1 cm horizontally during the impact. c. Find the average force on the feet if the person bends his legs throughout the impact so that his center of mass drops by 50 cm vertically and 5 cm horizontally during the impact. d. Compare the results of part (b) and (c), and draw conclusions about which way is better. You will need to find the time the impact lasts by making reasonable assumptions about the deceleration. Although the force is not constant during the impact, working with constant average force for this problem is acceptable.
A force acts on a car of mass m so that the speed v of the car increases with position x as v=kx2 where kis constant and all quantities are in SI units. Find the force acting on the car as a function of position.
What average force is required to stop a 1400 kg car in 8.0 s if the car is traveling at 85 km/h? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the direction of the force is in the direction of the initial velocity and negative value if the direction of the force is in the direction opposite of the initial velocity.
