A car with a mass of 1000 kg collides perpendicular to the wall at a speed of 20 m/s and then bounces back in the opposite direction. with a velocity of 12 m/s. If the collision occurred during the period of 0.05 sec, find the average magnitude of the force wall against car
After a 90-kg person steps from a boat onto the shore, the boat moves away with a speed of 0.70 m/s with respect to the shore. If the same person steps from the shore onto the boat, the person and the boat move away from the shore with the speed of 0.50 m/s. Assume that the initial speed of the person with respect to the shore is the same in both cases and that the person is moving in a horizontal direction. Determine the Mass of the boat and the speed of the person.
In a collision, a 1200 kg car initially moving at 30 m/s comes to a stop in 0.5 second. The magnitude of the average force (in kN) on the car during the crash is:
