Male bighorn sheep (120 kg ) engage in head-butting contests to establish dominance. High-speed photography has shown that the impact speed is typically 6.0 m/s and that the collision, which brings both rams to a halt, lasts approximately 0.25 s . Suppose the collision force increases linearly with time until it reaches a maximum Fmax , then decreases linearly to zero at t = 0.25 s. What is Fmax?

From what might be a possible scene in the comic book The X-Men, the Juggernaut (mJ) is charging into Colossus (mC) and the two collide. The initial speed of the Juggernaut is vJi and the initial speed of Colossus is vCi. After the collision, the final speed of the Juggernaut is vJf and the final speed of Colossus is vCf as they each bounce off of the other, heading in opposite directions. a. What is the impulse experienced by the Juggernaut? b. What is the impulse experienced by Colossus? c. In your own words, explain how these impulses must compare with each other and how they are related to the average force each superhero experiences during the collision.
Two identical particles, each of mass 1 000 kg, are coasting in free space along the same path, one in front of the other by 20.0 m. At the instant their separation distance has this value, each particle has precisely the same velocity of 800 m/s. What are their precise velocities when they are 2.00 m apart? Figure P13 74

The mass of a regulation tennis ball is 57 g (although it can vary slightly), and tests have shown that the ball is in contact with the tennis racket for 30 ms.(This number can also vary, depending on the racket and swing.) We shall assume a 30.0 ms contact time. One of the fastest-known served tennis balls was served by “Big Bill” Tilden in 1931, and its speed was measured to be 73 m/s. Suppose that the positive direction of the x-axis is along the direction of motion of the ball after Big Bill's hit. What is the x-component of the force exerted by Big Bill on the tennis ball in his record serve? If Big Bill's opponent returned his serve with a speed of 55 m/s what is the x-component of the force he exerted on the ball, assuming only horizontal motion?

Two protons collide in a perfectly elastic collision. All motion occurs along a straight line. The first proton is moving at 6.90 x 106 m/s and the other is moving in the opposite direction at 11.0 x 106 m/s. What are their velocities after the collision?
A 100-g bat collides with a stationary 1.2 kg teddy bear. Immediately after the collision, the bat is traveling at an angle of 55 degrees from its original path. The bear is traveling in a direction 35 degrees from the original path of the bat. (All the motion occurs in two dimensions). If the bear is moving at 0.060 m/s immediately after the collision, how fast is the bat moving after the collision?
Consider a bouncing ball. At time t = 0, the ball is dropped from a height y(0) = ho, where ho is the initial height in meters. It falls freely. At some later time t₁ it hits the ground with a velocity ý(t₁) < 0 m/s (meters per second). A bump event is produced when the ball hits the ground. The collision is inelastic (meaning that kinetic energy is lost), and the ball bounces back up with velocity −ay(t₁), where a is constant with 0 < a < 1. The ball will then rise to a certain height and fall back to the ground repeatedly. The behavior of the bouncing ball can be described by the hybrid system of Figure 1. There is only one mode, called free. When it is not in contact with the ground, we know that the ball follows the second-order differential equation, ÿ(t) = −g, where g = 9.81 m/sec².

You know the equation vmax=vexln(mR+mF0mR) for the maximum speed of a rocket fired in deep space. What is vmax for a rocket fired vertically from the surface of an airless planet with free-fall acceleration g? Assume that free-fall acceleration g is the same at every location of the rocket. You can write an equation for ΔPy, the change of momentum in the vertical direction, in terms of dm and vy. ΔPy is no longer zero because now gravity delivers an impulse. Rewrite the momentum equation by including the impulse due to gravity during the time dt during which the mass changes by dm. Pay attention to signs! Your equation will have three differentials, but two are related through the fuel burn rate R. Use this relationship--again pay attention to signs; m is decreasing--to write your equation in terms of dm and dvy. Then integrate to find a modified expression for vmax at the instant all the fuel has been burned.What is vmax for a vertical launch from an airless planet? Your answer will…
