A man claims that he can hold onto a 12.0-kg child in a head-on collision as long as he has his seat belt on. Consider this man in a collision in which he is in one of two identical cars each traveling toward the other at 60.0 mi/h relative to the ground. The car in which he rides is brought to rest in 0.10 s. Find the magnitude of the average force needed to hold onto the child.

Check Your Understanding The soccer player stops after completing the play described above, but now notices that the ball is in position to be stolen. If she now experiences a force of 126 N attempts to steal the ball, which is 2.00 m away from her, how long will it take her to get to the ball?
A young girl is riding a bicycle that has a total mass (including the kid) of 21.2 kg. The girl is moving at 5.99 m/s on a flat road when suddenly she slams on the brakes and skids to a stop in 8.22 meters. What was the magnitutde of the average force due to friction acting on the bicycle? Remeber, the magnitude of a force is always positive. Assume a constant friction force measured in Newtons and 3 significant digits in your answer.
ost 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 6.40 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on collision. Each driver has mass 79.0 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, what…
A cat (mass of 3.63 kg) is on a sled (mass of 22.7 kg) which rests on an icy surface... so no friction. In front of this sled, there is another identical sled. The cat jumps from the first sled to the second AND immediately back to the first. Both jumps are made at a relative speed of 3.7 m/sec between the cat and the sled it is on. Calculate the final speeds of the two sleds!

Your friend’s car has broken down, so you volunteer to push it with your own car to the nearestrepair shop, which is 2.0 km away. You carefully move your car so that the bumpers of the two carsare in contact. You then slowly accelerate to a speed of 2.5 m/s over the course of 1.0 min. The massof your friend’s car is 1.2 x 10 ^3 kg. Assume negligible friction.a) Calculate the normal force between the two bumpers. b) You then maintain a speed of 2.5 m/s. How long does it take you to reach the repair shop? c) Sketch the shape of a velocity time graph for the entire motion. d) Sketch the shape of a position time graph for the entire motion.
Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steelbeams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load mayslide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly inan accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, that a10 000-kg load sits on the flatbed of a 20 000-kg truck movingat 12.0 m/s. Assume that the load is not tied down to thetruck, but has a coefficient of friction of 0.500 with the flatbedof the truck. (a) Calculate the minimum stopping distancefor which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.(b) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution?
