You can perform a popular trick by dropping any peso bill (Ex. 500 peso bill )lengthwise
through the thumb and forefinger of a classmate. Tell your classmate to grab the peso bill as
fast as possible and he/she can keep the money if he/she catches it. The length of the peso
bill is 15.7 cm and the average human reaction time is about 0.20 s. Will your classmate catch
the bill and keep the money?
A truck (M = 2500kg) collides with a car (m = 1000kg) at a 4-way intersection. Fortunately
nobody gets hurt. Suppose the car is going north at 20m/s ( about 45mph) and the truck is
coming from the east at 10m/s ( about 22mph). The car and truck stick together after the
%3D
collision.
(a) Find the speed and direction of the car and truck immediately after the collision.
(b) Approximately how much energy went into the deformation of the metal that caused the two
vehicles to stick together?
(c) What assumptions did you make?

A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other along a straight, level track.When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other’s train and applies the brakes.The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s2. Is there a collision? If so, answer yes and give the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train at impact, respectively. If not, answer no and give the separation between the trains when they stop

Some of the muons move vertically downward with a speed nearly that of light. Follow one of the muons on its way down. In a given sample of muons, half will decay to other elementary particles in 1.5 microseconds (1.5 × 10-6 seconds), as measured in a reference frame in which they are at rest. Half of the remainder decay in the next 1.5 microseconds, and so on. Analyze the results of this decay as observed in two different frames. Idealize the rather complicated details of the actual experiment to the following roughly equivalent situation: All muons are produced at the same height (45 kilometers); all muons have the same speed; all travel straight down; none are lost to collisions with air molecules on the way down. ●…arrow_forward
