A car's bumper is designed to withstand a 4.68 km/h (1.3 m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force (in N ) on a bumper that collapses 0.195 m while bringing a 830 kg car to rest from an initial speed of 1.3 m/s. (Enter a number.)

Car bumpers are designed to limit the extent of damage to the car in the case of low-velocity collisions. Consider a 3.30 kip passenger car impacting a concrete barrier while traveling at a speed of 4.0 mph The car's bumper consists of a linear spring of constant k = 4.47 kip/in. in parallel with a shock-absorbing unit generating a nearly constant force of 700 lb. over 3.0 in. Find the spring and shock compression necessary to stop the car. (Note: a kip = 1000 lb) Answer needs to be in inches (in.)

Tyrannosaurus rex may have known from experience not to run particularly fast because of the danger of tripping, in which case its short forearms would have been no help in cushioning the fall. Suppose a T. Rex of mass 4300 kg trips while walking, toppling over, with its center of mass falling freely a distance of 1.4 m. Then its center of mass descends an additional 0.25 m due to compression of its body and the ground. (a) What is the approximate magnitude of the average vertical force on the dinosaur during its collision with the ground (during the descent of 0.25 m)? Now assume that the dinosaur is running at a speed of 19 m/s (fast) when it trips, falls to the ground, and then slides to a stop with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.58. Assume also that the average vertical force during the collision and sliding is that in (a). What, approximately, are (b) the magnitude of the average total force on the dinosaur from the ground and (c) the sliding distance? The force magnitudes of (a) and (b) strongly suggest that the collision would injure the torso of the dinosaur. The head, which would fall farther, would suffer even greater injury. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c) Number Units

Consider a truck that has a weight of 18000 N, performing a full stop from a speed of 100 km/h on a grade with an angle of 6∘ as shown in the figure. It has a brake application that develops a steady brake force of 8000 N. The truck has a frontal area of 8 m2 and a drag coefficient of 0.6 . Determine the following: 1 - The deceleration. 2- The stopping distance. 3- The time required to reach a full stop. 4- The energy dissipated. 5- The brake power at initial application. 6- The average brake power over the stop.
