Chapter 9: Q28P (page 249)

In tae-kwon-do, a hand is slammed down onto a target at a speed of13 m/sand comes to a stop during the 5.0 mscollision. Assume that during the impact the hand is independent of the arm and has a mass of0.70 kg . What are the magnitudes of the (a) Impulse and (b) Average force on the hand from the target?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The magnitude of the impulse on the hand from the target,J=9.1N·s.
  2. The magnitude of the average force on the hand from the target, Favg=1.8×103N.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

The mass of hand,m=0.70kg.

The speed of hand is,v1=13m/s.

The time of contact, t=5.0ms1×10-3s1ms=5.0×10-3s.

02

Concept and formula used in the given question

We can use the equation of impulse-momentum theorem to calculate the impulse, and then we can use this value of impulse in the equation of average force to calculate its value.

J=∆P∆P=mv2-v1J=Favg.t

03

(a) Calculation for the impulse

The equation of the impulse-momentum theorem is,

J=∆P=m×v2-v1=0.70kg×0m/s-13m/s=-9.1N·s

So, the magnitude of impulse is,

J=9.1N·s

04

(b) Calculation for the Average force on the hand from the target

We have,

J=Favg×∆t

So,

Favg=J∆t=9.1N·s5×10-3s=1.8×103N

In Fig. 9-78, a3.2 kgbox of running shoes slides on a horizontal frictionless table and collides with a 2.0 kg box of ballet slippers initially at rest on the edge of the table, at height h = 0.40 mThe speed of the 3.2 kg box is 3.0 m/sjust before the collision. If the two boxes stick together because of packing tape on their sides, what is their kinetic energy just before they strike the floor?

Particle A and particle B are held together with a compressed spring between them. When they are released, the spring pushes them apart, and they then fly off in opposite directions, free of the spring. The mass of A is 2.00 times the mass of B, and the energy stored in the spring was 60 J. Assume that the spring has negligible mass and that all its stored energy is transferred to the particles. Once that transfer is complete, what are the kinetic energies of (a) particle A and (b) particle B?

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?

Figure 9-32: A block on a horizontal floor is initially either stationary, sliding in the positive direction of an x-axis, or sliding in the negative direction of that axis. Then the block explodes into two pieces that slide along the x-axis. Assume the block and the two pieces form a closed, isolated system. Six choices for a graph of the momenta of the block and the pieces are given, all versus time t. Determine which choices represent physically impossible situations and explain why.

Two bodies have undergone an elastic one-dimensional collision along an x-axis. Figure 9-31 is a graph of position versus time for those bodies and for their center of mass. (a) Were both bodies initially moving, or was one initially stationary? Which line segment corresponds to the motion of the center of mass (b) before the collision and (c) after the collision (d) Is the mass of the body that was moving faster before the collision greater than, less than, or equal to that of the other body?
