Starting and Stopping A car with a mass of 1 metric ton (1 metric ton = 1000 kg) speeds up to highway speed from rest on a strait section of Central Blvd. A little while later, the car comes to a stop as it approaches a red light. Left Side - Determine the net impulse and average net force on the car as it goes from rest to highway speed. Right Side - Determine the net impulse and average net force on the car as it goes from highway speed to a complete stop. Note: you will need to estimate the time each motion takes to find the average net force. Think of your own experience with driving. Slide 9-12

Consider a car going at highway speeds colliding in a front-end collision with a brick wall. Rank the impulses needed to bring the passenger in the front seat to a stop if they are stopped separately by: Their seatbelt The dashboard An airbag A. Dashboard = Seatbelt = Airbag B. Dashboard > Seatbelt > Airbag C. Airbag > Seatbelt > Dashboard D. Dashboard > Airbag > Seatbelt E. Seatbelt > Dashboard > Airbag Slide 9-12

Consider a car going at highway speeds colliding in a front-end collision with a brick wall. Rank the force being applied for each case. (You will need to think about Delta t. Hint: the longer the distance travelled while the force is being applied, the longer Delta t.) Their seatbelt The dashboard An airbag A. Dashboard = Seatbelt = Airbag B. Dashboard > Seatbelt > Airbag C. Airbag > Seatbelt > Dashboard D. Dashboard > Airbag > Seatbelt E. Seatbelt > Dashboard > Airbag Slide 9-12

Shut the Door Imagine that you are sitting on your bed in your dorm room, and suddenly you hear the voice of your ex coming down the hall. You really want to avoid any contact (you broke things off a week ago), and so you want to shut the door. But you don't have time to get up and shut it and act like it wasn't on purpose. You need something fast. Sitting beside you, you happen to have a superball (super bouncy rubber ball) and a ball of clay that you fidget with when you're studying on your bed. What do you do? (Hint: Draw the momentum vectors before and after.) A. Throw the superball B. Throw the clay ball C. Throw either ball, it doesn’t matter D. Not enough information to tell Explain your answer and show why you chose one and not the other. Slide 9-12
