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

In Fig. 9-80, block 1 of massm1=6.6kgis at rest on a long frictionless table that is up against a wall. Block 2 of massm2is placed between block 1 and the wall and sent sliding to the left, toward block 1, with constant speed v2i . Find the value ofm2for which both blocks move with the same velocity after block 2 has collided once with block 1 and once with the wall. Assume all collisions are elastic (the collision with the wall does not change the speed of block 2).

Figure 9-34 shows four graphs of position versus time for two bodies and their center of mass. The two bodies form a closed, isolated system and undergo a completely inelastic, one-dimensional collision on an x-axis. In graph 1, are (a) the two bodies and (b) the center of mass moving in the positive or negative direction of the x-axis? (c) Which of the graphs correspond to a physically impossible situation? Explain.

Figure shows a two-ended 鈥渞ocket鈥� that is initially stationary on a frictionless floor, with its center at the origin of an x axis. The rocket consists of a central block C (of mass M = 6.00 kg) and blocks L and R (each ofmas m = 2.00 kg) on the left and right sides. Small explosions can shoot either of the side blocks away from block C and along the x axis. Here is the sequence: (1) At time t = 0, block L is shot to the left with a speed of 3.00 m/srelative to the velocity that the explosion gives the rest of the rocket. (2) Next, at time t = 0.80 s, block R is shot to the right with a speed of 3.00 m/srelative to the velocity that block C then has. At t = 2.80 s, (a) What are the velocity of block C and (b) What are the positions of its center?

A 5.0 kg toy car can move along an x-axis; Figure 9-50 givesFxof the force acting on the car, which begins at rest at time t = 0 . The scale on the Fxaxis is set byFxs=5.0N . In unit-vector notation, what is p at (a) t = 4.0 sand (b) t = 7.0 s, and (c) what is at t = 9.0 s?

An electron undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with an initially stationary hydrogen atom. What percentage of the electron鈥檚 initial kinetic energy is transferred to kinetic energy of the hydrogen atom? (The mass of the hydrogen atom is 1840 times the mass of the electron)
