Chapter 9: Q26P (page 249)

In a common but dangerous prank, a chair is pulled away as a person is moving downward to sit on it, causing the victim to land hard on the floor. Suppose the victim falls by 0.50 m , the mass that moves downward is 70 kg , and the collision on the floor lasts 0.082 s. What are the magnitudes of the (a) Impulse and (b) Average force acting on the victim from the floor during the collision?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The impulse acting on the victim,J=2.2脳102N路s.
  2. The magnitude of the average force on the victim from the floor, Favg=2.7脳103N.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

The mass of the victim,m=70kg.

The height of the victim from the floor,h=0.50m.

The time of contact, t=0.082s.

02

Concept and formula used in the given question

We can use the equation of impulse related to the change in momentum to calculate the impulse on the ball. The magnitude of the average force can be calculated using an equation relating impulse, force, and time which are given as.

J=鈭�P鈭�P=m脳v2-v1J=Favg脳t

03

(a) Calculation for the magnitude of the impulse

Let us calculate the velocity ofthevictim just before the collision.

The velocity of free fall from height 鈥榟鈥� is

v=v1=2gh=2脳9.8m/s2脳0.50m=3.13m/s

Now,

The equation of the impulse-momentum theorem is

J=鈭�P=m脳v2-v1=70kg脳0m/s--3.13m/s=2.2脳102N路s

04

(b) Calculation for the magnitude of average force acting on the victim from the floor during the collision

We have,

J=Favg脳t

So,

Favg=Jt=2.2脳102N路s0.082s=2.7脳103N

Two bodies have undergone an elastic one-dimensional collision along an x-axis. Figure 9-31 is a graph of position versus time for those bodies and for their center of mass. (a) Were both bodies initially moving, or was one initially stationary? Which line segment corresponds to the motion of the center of mass (b) before the collision and (c) after the collision (d) Is the mass of the body that was moving faster before the collision greater than, less than, or equal to that of the other body?

In Figure, two particles are launched from the origin of the coordinate system at timet=0. Particle 1 of massm1=5.00gis shot directly along the xaxis on a frictionless floor, with constant speed10.0m/s . Particle 2 of massm2=3.00gis shot with a velocity of magnitude20.0m/s, at an upward angle such that it always stays directly above particle 1. (a) What is the maximum height Hmax reached by the com of the two-particle system? In unit-vector notation, (b) what are the velocity and (c) what are the acceleration of the com when the com reaches Hmax

A block slides along a frictionless floor and into a stationary second block with the same mass. Figure 9-29 shows four choices for a graph of the kinetic energies Kof the blocks. (a) Determine which represent physically impossible situations. Of the others, which best represents (b) an elastic collision and (c) an inelastic collision?

Suppose a gangster sprays Superman鈥檚 chest with3 gbullets at the rate of 100 bullets/min, and the speed of each bullet is 500 m/s. Suppose too that the bullets rebound straight back with no change in speed. What is the magnitude of the average force on Superman鈥檚 chest?

Figure shows a three particle system, with massesm1=3.0kg,m2=4.0kg,andm3=8.0kg. The scales on the axes are set by xs=2.0mandys=2.0m. What is (a) The xcoordinate and (b) The ycoordinate of the system鈥檚 center of mass? (c) If is gradually increased, does the center of mass of the system shift toward or away from that particle, or does it remain stationary?
