A man is texting on his phone as he drives his car at 40 kmph, he suddenly notices a child is crossing the road so he rams his brake bringing the car to stop in 2s. If the car’s mass is 4000 kg and he weighs 60 kg, what was the retarding force on the car?
The instant before a batter hits a 0.14 KG baseball, the velocity of the ball is 45 meters per second west. The instant after the batter hits the ball, the ball's velocity is 35 meters per second eat. The bat and ball are in contact for 1.0×10-2 second.
(a) How do I determine the magnitude and direction of the average acceleration of the baseball while it is in contact with the bat?
A car traveling at 20 m/s runs into a bridge abutment and crumples for 1.2 m
before coming to a full stop. If we estimate the process as constant deceleration
motion, what is the average force exerted on the car, which weighs 1500 kg,
during the collision process?
