Mary Rife, of Texas, set a women’s world speed record for sailing. In 1977, her vessel, Proud Mary, reached a speed of 3.17 x 102 km/h. Suppose it takes 8.0 s for the boat to decelerate from 3.17 x 102 km/h to 2.00 x 102 km/h. a) What is the boat’s acceleration? b) What distance would the boat travel during this time?

A1200 kg car traveling north at 10 m/s is rear-ended by a 2000 kg truck traveling at 30 m/s. what is the total momentum before and after the collision?

Any color picture tube and electric field exerts a net force of magnitude 1.68x 10^-13 n on an electron the rest mass of an electron is 9.11 x 10^-13 what is the electron acceleration?

Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow. (a) calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent’s face, if the glove and face compress 7.50 cm during a blow in which the 7.00-kg arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. (b) calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used and the knuckles and face would compress only 2.00 cm. (c) discuss the magnitude of the force with glove on. does it seem high enough to cause damage even though it is lower than the force with no glove?
