I = (10N) (5 s) = 50 N . s

27. How much impulse stops a 50 kg carton that is sliding at 4 m/s when it meets a rough surface?

I = mv = (50kg)(4 m/s) = 200kg . m/s = 200 N . s

21. What is the efficiency of a machine that miraculously converts all the input energy to useful output energy?

The efficiency is 100%

13. Is it correct to say that if no net impulse is exerted on a system then no change in the momentum of the system will occur?

Yes, the statement is correct.

29. Show that 2.4 J of work is done when a force of 2.0 N moves a book 1.2 m. W=fd

(2.0 N)(1.2m) = 2.4 N . m = 2.4 J

45. To tighten a bolt, you push with a force of 80 N at the end of a wrench handle that is 0.25 m from the axis of the bolt. A. What torque are you exerting? B. You move your hang inward to be only 0.10 m from the bolt. To achieve the same torque, show that you should exert 200 N of force C. Do your answers depend on the direction of your push relative to the direction of the wrench handle?

A. Torque = force x lever arm = (0.25m) (80N) = 20 N . m B. Force = 200 N, then (200 N) (0.10 m) = 20 N . m C. Yes. These answers assume that you are pushing perpendicular to the wrench handle.

45. In terms of impulse and momentum, why do air bags in cars reduce the risk of injury?

Air bags lengthen the time of impact, thereby reducing the force of impact.

51. When you catch a fast moving baseball with your bare hand, why is it important to extend your hand forward for the catch?

An extended hand allows more time for reducing the momentum of the ball to zero, resulting in a smaller force of impact on your hand.

As force is increased, distance is decreased by the same factor.

77. Why is it important to secure file cabinets to the floor, especially cabinets with heavy loads in the drawers?

Because the CG of the cabinet can easily be shifted beyond the support base of the cabinet. When this happens, the torque that is produced causes the cabinet to topple over.

Ft = mv F = mv/t so (75kg)(25 m/s) / .1 s = 18750 N

9. Why is it advantageous to roll with the punch in boxing?

If you roll with the punch, the impact occurs over a long time, which means a less forceful punch.

15. An apple hanging from a limb has potential energy because of its height. If it falls, what becomes of this energy just before it hits the ground? When it hits the ground?

Immediately before the apple hits the ground, its initial PE becomes KE. When it hits the ground its energy becomes thermal energy.

Impulse delivered : ABC Changes in momentum: ABC Final Speeds: CBA Momenta in 3s: ABC

Impulse - Momentum relationship

Impulse is equal to the change in the momentum of the object that he impulse acts upon. Ft=mv

Law of conservation of momentum

In the absence of an external force, the momentum of a system remains unchanged. Hence, the momentum before an event involving only internal forces is equal to the momentum after the event.

7. A car is raised a certain distance in a service station lift and therefore has potential energy relative to the floor. If it were raised twice as high, how much more potential energy would it have?

It would have twice the PE because the distance is two times greater

55. A lunar vehicle is tested on Earth at a speed of 10 km/h. When it travels as fast on the moon, is its momentum more less, or the same?

Its momentum is the same. (its weight might change, but not mass)

7. When you are struck by a moving object, is it favorable that the object makes contact with you over a short time or over a long time? Explain.

Less force occurs if momentum is decreased over a long time.

35. A 5kg fish swimming at 1 m/s swallows an absentminded 1kg fish swimming toward it at a speed that brings both fish to a halt immediately after lunch. Show that the speed of the approaching smaller fish before lunch mush have been 5m/s.

Momentum before = Momentum after (5kg) (1m/s) + ( 1kg) v = 0 5m/s + v = 0 v = -5 m/s

15. When a cannonball is fired, momentum is conserved for the system cannon + cannonball. Would momentum be conserved for the system if momentum were not a vector quantity? Explain.

Momentum would not be conserved if force, and therefore impulse, was not a vector quantity.

Rotational inertia is the resistance to a change in rotational motion. It is similar to plane inertia, which is a resistance to change in velocity

19. Suppose a ball of putty moving horizontally with 1kg*m/s of momentum collides with and sticks to an identical ball of putty moving vertically with 1kg*m/s of momentum. What is the magnitude of their combined momentum.

Since they are same magnitude vectors at right angles to each other, the combined momentum in 2kg m/s

29. Bowling Barry asks how much impulse is needed to stop a 10kg bowling ball moving at 6 m/s. What is your answer?

The bowling ball has a momentum of (10kg)(6m/s) = 60 kg . m/s which has the magnitude of the impulse to stop it. That's 60 N . s

The direction of momentum is to the left because the momentum of the 0.8 kg cart is greater. By magnitude, net momentum = (0.5) (1) - (0.8) (1.2) = - 0.46.
