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

A small ball of mass m is aligned above a larger ball of mass M=0.63 kg (with a slight separation, as with the baseball and basketball of Fig. 9-68a), and the two are dropped simultaneously from a height of h=1.8 m. (Assume the radius of each ball is negligible relative to h.) (a) If the larger ball rebounds elastically from the floor and then the small ball rebounds elastically from the larger ball, what value ofm results in the larger ball stopping when it collides with the small ball? (b) What height does the small ball then reach (Fig.9-68b)?

A spacecraft is separated into two parts by detonating the explosive bolts that hold them together. The masses of the parts are 1200 kgand 1800 kg; the magnitude of the impulse on each part from the bolts is 300 N. With what relative speed do the two parts separate because of the detonation?

A 3.0 kg object moving at 8.0 m/sin the positive direction of an xaxis has a one-dimensional elastic collision with an object of mass M, initially at rest. After the collision the object of mass Mhas a velocity of6.0 m/sin the positive direction of the axis. What is mass M?

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 cart with mass 340 gmoving on a frictionless linear air track at an initial speed of 1.2 m/sundergoes an elastic collision with an initially stationary cart of unknown mass. After the collision, the first cart continues in its original direction at 0.66 m/s. (a) What is the mass of the second cart? (b) What is its speed after impact? (c) What is the speed of the two-cart center of mass?
