Alex Morgan, one of America's best forwards, kicks a 450. g soccer ball that was moving towards her at a speed of 12.0m/s, the impact caused the ball to leave her foot with a velocity of 20.0 m/s in the opposite direction.
a. If the impact lasted for 0.250s, what force (magnitude and direction) did Alex exert on the soccer ball?
b. What is one thing that she could do to make the soccer ball have a larger change in momentum?
Tarzan (83 kg) is swinging on a vine that is 0.8 meters long into the waiting arms of Jane below. The net force on Tarzan as he swings is 354 N. Unfortunately for him, he misjudges his swing and instead slams into a tree when the vine is completely vertical. His impact with the tree lasts 0.02 seconds, and Jane is not impressed. *You can assume he puts a constant force on the tree as he crashes*To make matters worse, after slamming to a stop, he slides down the tree with a constant acceleration of magnitude 0.8 m/s2.
What is Tarzan's velocity right before he slams into the tree?
ROUND THIS VALUE TO THE HUNDREDTHS PLACE AND USE THIS ROUNDED VALUE FOR THE REST OF THE PROBLEM!
What is the magnitude of the force that the tree puts on Tarzan?
What is the magnitude of the frictional force between Tarzan and the tree as he
slides down?
What is Tarzan's kinetic energy 0.6 s after he begins sliding down the tree?
What is Tarzan’s momentum 0.6 s after he begins sliding down…
