A 2.0 kg box is initially at rest on a frictionless surface. A ball is thrown at the side of the box such that the ball is in contact with the box for 0.1 s before bouncing back. Afterwards the box is moving at 1.25 m/s What average force did the ball exert on the box? A) 12 N B) 25 N C) 34 N D) 45 N E) 63 N
We can rewrite Newton’s second law by taking momentum change into consideration as follows:
F = ma
F = mdv / dt
F = dp / dt
-F = m(vf - vi) / dt
-F = m(0 - vi) / dt
F = ( 2 x 1.25) / 0.1
F = 25 N

A 2 kg wooden box is initially at rest. A 0.1 kg clay ball is thrown with a velocity of 15m/s against the side of box and sticks. The box slides toward a spring. How far does the spring, with k = 200 N/m, compress in order to stop the box?
7. AS kg ball is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface as shown to the right. A hard plastic cube of mass 0.5 kg slides across the surface at a speed of 26 ms and strikes the ball The figure below shows a graph of the force exerted on the ball by the cube as a function of time. Oslo Force (x10'N) 10 2.0 10.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 Time (x10's) A) Determine the total impulse given to the...
a 2.0 kg mass moves along a frictionless horizontal surface at a speed of 5.0 m/s. The mass encounters a 30 degree inclined surface with a constant friction force of 1.5 N. At 1 m high (vertical) the surface levels off and is again frictionless. the mass then encounters a spring with k=10 N/m a) how far is the spring compressed after the mass comes to rest? b) how far down the inclined plane will the mass move after bouncing...
A 4.0-kg box moving at 2.0 m/s on a horizontal, frictionless surface runs into a light spring of force constant 55 N/cm . Use the work-energy theorem to find the maximum compression of the spring.
2. A 2.0 kg box starts at rest on a flat, frictionless sheet of ice. A steady Texas wind then exerts on the box the force � ⃑ = (230 N)�̂−(110 N)�̂, given in unit- vector notation, where the x direction is east and the y direction is north. In response to this force, and as a result of a frictionless rock ledge that constrains the box’s direction of motion, the box ends up with a displacement of 5.0 meters...
A 0.300-kg puck, initially at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface, is struck by a 0.200-kg puck moving initially along the x axis with a speed of 2.00 m/s. After the collision, the 0.200-kg puck has a speed of 1.00 m/s at an angle of ? = 52.0
A 2.0- kg box is moving at constant speed of 2.0 m/s on a frictionless horizontal floor. You apply a horizontal force with a magnitude of 4.0 N to make it stop. How long should you apply this force?
A 0.284 kg puck, initially at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface, is struck by a 0.248 kg puck moving initially along the x axis with a speed of 3.03 m/s. After the collision, the 0.248 kg puck has a speed of 2.03 m/s at an angle of 23 degree to the positive x axis. Determine the magnitude of the velocity of the 0.284 kg puck after the collision. Answer in units of m/s.
a 250 kg cart is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. you push the cart with a constant horizontal force to the right making it move 12 m to the right. in the end, you did 1400 j of work on the cart. What is the magnitude of your force on the cart?
1.A student pushes a box initially at rest, horizontally along a frictionless surface for 10.0 m and then releases the box to continue sliding. If the student pushes with a constant 15 N force, what is the box's speed when it is released? (mass not provided) 2. If the student from the previous question hadn't pushed the box horizontally, but rather, at an angle of 54 degrees relative to the frictionless surface, what would have been the box's speed when...
