Jenny and Betty are having a great time at Busch Gardens riding the Ubanga Banga bumper cars. Jenny, who is traveling southward in her bumper car, aims her car toward Betty, who is traveling northward in her bumper car. The cars collide and briefly come to a stop. What is the direction of the force exerted on Jenny's car during the collision?

There is a compressed spring between two laboratory carts of masses m1 = 105 g and m2 = 212 g. Initially, the carts are held at rest on a horizontal track (Fig. P10.40A). The carts are released, and the cart of mass m1 has velocity vi=2.035i m/s in the positive x direction (Fig. 10.40B). Assume rolling friction is negligible. a. What is the net external force on the two-cart system? b. Find the velocity of cart 2. FIGURE P10.40 Problems 40 and 41.

The mass of the astronaut is 75.0 kg, and the mass of the sheet of metal is 245 kg. a. What is the velocity of the metal sheet relative to the honeycomb surface? b. What is the speed of the astronaut relative to the honeycomb surface?
A model rocket engine has an average thrust of 5.26 N. It has an initial mass of 25.5 g, which includes fuel mass of 12.7 g. The duration of its burn is 1.90 s. (a) What is the average exhaust speed of the engine? (b) This engine is placed in a rocket body of mass 53.5 g. What is the final velocity of the rocket if it were to be fired from rest in outer space by an astronaut on a spacewalk? Assume the fuel burns at a constant rate.
A ball (m = 0.350 kg) is thrown at a speed of 12.0 m/s and is hit by a bat changing the velocity to 10.0 m/s in the opposite direction. The average contact time between the ball and the bat was 2.00 ms. Determine the magnitude of the force applied by the bat to the ball. 3850 N 2500 N 3890 N 3500 N
A 129-kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.90 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1900-kg space capsule. Use the reference frame in which the capsule is at rest before the push. What is the velocity of the space capsule after the push in the reference frame? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the direction of the velocity is in the direction of the velocity of the astronaut and negative value if the direction of the velocity is in the direction opposite to the velocity of the astronaut.

Kaya, a crew member on an interplanetary space ship, is on a spacewalk. She realizes that her ship is moving away from her at 0.5 m/s. She and her spacesuit have a total mass of 95 kg. Her space suit includes a 15 kg backpack, which is included in the 95 kg total mass.a). What is the minimum velocity she will have to throw the backpack so that she can gain enough velocity to eventually catch up with the ship? b). Kaya applies an average force of 400 N to the backpack for 0.05 seconds. Will Kaya make it back to the ship? If so, determine how much time it will take for her to reach the ship. If not, determine how much more force she would need to apply to make it back.
Can you help me with this problem? A bat strikes a 0.145 kg baseball. Just before impact, the ball is traveling horizontally to the right at 30.0 m/s; when it leaves the bat, the ball is traveling to the left at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal with a speed of 38.0 m/s. The ball and bat are in contact for 1.85 ms. Find the x and y components of the average force on the ball. Suppose that the +x axis is directed to the right, and the +y axis is directed upward.
