Problems
A 75.0-kg person is riding in a car moving at 20.0 m/s when the car runs into a bridge abutment (see the following figure).
- Calculate the average force on the person if he is stopped by a padded dashboard that compresses an average of 1.00 cm.
- Calculate the average force on the person if he is stopped by an air bag that compresses an average of 15.0 cm.

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large enough to be detected by radar, but there are far greater numbers of very small objects, such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted by a 0.100-mg chip of paint that strikes a spacecraft window at a relative speed of

A cruise ship with a mass of
strikes a pier at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It comes to rest after traveling 6.00 m, damaging the ship, the pier, and the tugboat captain’s finances. Calculate the average force exerted on the pier using the concept of impulse. (
Hint : First calculate the time it took to bring the ship to rest, assuming a constant force.)

A hockey puck of mass 150 g is sliding due east on a frictionless table with a speed of 10 m/s. Suddenly, a constant force of magnitude 5 N and direction due north is applied to the puck for 1.5 s. Find the north and east components of the momentum at the end of the 1.5-s interval.
Let the positive
x -axis be in the direction of the original momentum. Then

A ball of mass 250 g is thrown with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of
with the horizontal direction. Ignore air resistance. What is the momentum of the ball after 0.2 s? (Do this problem by finding the components of the momentum first, and then constructing the magnitude and direction of the momentum vector from the components.)
