Airplane flight recorders must be able to survive catastrophic crashes.Therefore, they are typically encased in crash-resistant steel or titanium boxes that are subjected to rigorous testing. one of the tests is an impact shock test, in which the box must survive being thrown at high speeds against a barrier.A 41 kg box is thrown at a speed of 245 m/s and is brought to a halt in a collision that lasts for a time of 5.2 ms. What is the magnitude of the average net force that acts on the box during coliion?

A 12.1 kg concrete block rests on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is .37.A second block is attached to the concrete block by a string a string passing over a frictionless pulley of negligible mass. If the acceleration of the concrete block is .735 m/s2 to the right, what is the mass of the second block?

A student has a 75 g crystal hanging by a string of negligible mass from the rearview mirror in her car.

a.Determine the angle the string makes with the vertical when she accelerates at a constant rate of .35 g ( maybe this is a typo and should be.35 m/s??)

b.Determine the tension in the string during this acceleration.

c. Construct a free body diagram of the crystal

A (n) 696 N man stands in the middle of a frozen pond of radius 10.4 m. He is un- able to get to the other side because of a lack of friction between his shoes and the ice.To overcome this difficulty, he throws his 1.2 kg physics textbook horizontally toward the north shore, at a speed of 5.5 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s squared. How long does it take him to reach the south shore?Answer in units of s.
