Repeat the previous problem for a situation in which the rocket sled decelerates at a rate of 201m/s2 . In this problem, the forces are exerted by the seat and the seat belt.
A baseball catcher is performing a stunt for a television commercial. He will catch a baseball (mass 145 g) dropped from a height of 60.0 m above his glove. His glove stops the ball in 0.0100 s. What is the force exerted by his glove on the ball?
The front 1.20 m of a 1 400-kg car is designed as a crumple zone that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision. If a car traveling 25.0 m/s stops uniformly in 1.20 m, (a) how long does the collision last, (b) what is the magnitude of the average force on the car, and (c) what is the acceleration of the car? Express the acceleration as a multiple of the acceleration of gravity.

A 925-kg pickup decelerates to rest from a speed of 75 km/h in a distance of 140 m. Consider that the pickup is initially moving in the positive direction. Suppose instead of braking that the pickup hits a concrete abutment at frill speed and is brought to a stop in 2.00 m. Calculate the force, in newtons, exerted on the pickup in this case.
A car moving at 9.500 m/s crashes into a tree and stops in 0.2600 s. Calculate the magnitude of the force, in newtons, the seatbelt exerts on a passenger in the car to bring him to a halt. The mass of the passenger is 65.00 kg.
As a protest against the umpire’s calls, a baseball pitcherthrows a ball straight up into the air at a speed of 20.0 m/s. Inthe process, he moves his hand through a distance of 1.50 m.If the ball has a mass of 0.150 kg, find the force he exerts onthe ball to give it this upward speed.
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?
As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume thatonly two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exertedby the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A recordChinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 61.0 kg.If this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaksthe surface and has an upward speed of 6.00 m/s after twothirdsof its length has left the surface, assume constant accelerationand determine (a) the salmon’s acceleration and (b)the magnitude of the force F during this interval.
