You are sitting on a deck of your house surrounded by oak trees. You hear the sound of an acorn hitting the deck. You wonder if an acorn will do much damage if instead of the deck it hits your head. Let the mass of the acom be 3.1g Suppose it drops from a height of 13 m (relative to your head). Assume that the acorn sinks in 0.50 cm of your head skin before coming to a stop. Determine the magnitude of the force that the acorn would exert in the head. Include explanations and a force diagram

You are part of a team in an engineering class that is working on a scale model of a new design for a life vest. You have been asked to find the mass of a piece of foam that will be used for flotation. Because the piece is too bulky to fit on your balance, you break it into two parts. You measure the mass of the first part as 128.3 0.3 g and the second part as 77.0 0.3 g. a. What are the maximum and minimum values for the total mass you might reasonably report? b. What is the best estimate for the total mass of the foam? Hint: Propagation of uncertainty is described in Appendix A.
The culling tool on a lathe is given two displacements, one of magnitude 4 cm and one of magnitude 3 cm, in each one of five situations (a) through (e) diagrammed in Figure OQ3.4. Rank these situations according to the magnitude of the total displacement of the tool, putting the situation with the greatest resultant magnitude first. If the total displacement is the same size in two situations, give those letters equal ranks.
2. Ball A and Ball B have the same diameter and mass. As ball A is dropped from rest it is almost touching the inelastic cord. COR = 0.8 and friction effects can be ignored. Determine velocity of each ball just after impact. Hint 1: direction of ball B is constrained by the cord. Hint 2: The balls are the same diameter; use this to determine line of impact. A 160 mm
You are watching a National Geographic Special on television. One segment of program is about archer fish, which inhabit streams in southeast Asia. This actually "shoots" water at insects to knock them into the water so it can eat th The commentator states that the archer fish keeps its mouth at the surface of stream and squirts a jet of water from its mouth at 13 feet/second. You watch archer fish shoot a juicy moth off a leaf into the water. You estimate that the was about 2.5 feet above a stream. You wonder at what minimum angle from horizontal the water can be ejected from the fish's mouth to hit the moth.
a)Find an expression for the bullet's initial speed v_B in terms of m, M, k, and d. Express your answer in terms of the variables m M k d b)What was the speed of a 1.8 g bullet if the block's mass is 1.1 kg and if the spring, with k = 37 N/m , was compressed by 16 cm? Express your answer in meters per second. c)What percentage of the bullet's energy is "lost"? Express your answer in percent to four significant figures.
Two kids decided to play with their toys, balls. The first kid is on the ground (0.00 meter), whereas the second kid is on top of a 10.00-meter tall building. The second kid threw his ball at the same time that the first kid throws another ball upward. At the time that the first kid’s ball reaches its maximum height, the two balls will collide. iii) If the two balls experienced inelastic collision, compute for the time it will take for the two balls to reach the ground (given that their starting speed is 1/2√g(10.00m) ).

this is not the actual problem it is just the practice one, I just need a step by step on how to solve it because my teacher did not really teach this in class. thank you for any help you are able to provide.

4. A bungee jumper jumps from a bridge that is 100 m above water level. A velocity- v(t) (m/s) vs. t (s) time graph is shown. The elasticity in the bungee cord begins to slow the jumper down after 3s. The displacement of the jumper is measured from the point of the 40 30 jump Determine the displacement function – explaining all steps and points - and plot the graph from 0
