A 47.1-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocity of −1.86 m/s. Her hands are in contact with the wall for 0.997 s. Ignore friction and wind resistance. Find the average force she exerts on the wall (which has the same magnitude, but opposite direction, as the force that the wall applies to her). Note that this force has direction, which you should indicate with the sign of your answer. Number Units

A 48.0-kg boy, riding a 1.80-kg skateboard at a velocity of 5.20 m/s across a level sidewalk, jumps forward to leap over a wall. Just after leaving contact with the board, the boy's velocity relative to the sidewalk is 6.00 m/s, 8.90∘ above the horizontal. Ignore any friction between the skateboard and the sidewalk. What is the skateboard's velocity relative to the sidewalk at this instant? Be sure to include the correct algebraic sign with your answer. Number Units

A hockey goalie is standing on ice. Another player fires a puck (m = 0.170 kg) at the goalie with a velocity of +66.0 m/s. (a) If the goalie catches the puck with his glove in a time of 4.56×10−3 s, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the goalie by the puck? (b) Instead of catching the puck, the goalie slaps it with his stick and returns the puck straight back to the player with a velocity of -66.0 m/s. The puck and stick are in contact for a time of 4.56×10−3 s. Now, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the goalie by the puck? Verify that your answers to parts (a) and (b) are consistent with the conclusion of Conceptual Example 3. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
