Problem 7.54
A 64.0­kg skier starts from rest at the top of a ski slope of height 61.0 m .
Part A

Part B
Now moving horizontally, the skier crosses a patch of soft snow, where the coefficient of friction is 0.24. If the patch is
of width 60.0 m and the average force of air resistance on the skier is 180 N , how fast is she going after crossing the
patch?

to a stop. What is the average force exerted on her by the snowdrift as it stops her?
ANSWER:

A Ball Hits a Wall Elastically
A ball of mass m moving with velocity v i⃗ strikes a vertical wall. The angle between the ball's initial velocity vector and the
wall is θi as shown on the diagram, which depicts the situation as seen from above. The duration of the collision between
the ball and the wall is Δt, and this collision is completely elastic. Friction is negligible, so the ball does not start spinning.
In this idealized collision, the force exerted on the ball by the wall is parallel to the x axis.
Typesetting math: 65%
Part A
What is the final angle θf that the ball's velocity vector makes with the negative y axis?
Express your answer in terms of quantities given in the problem introduction.
Hint 1. How to approach the problem
Relate the vector components of the ball's initial and final velocities. This will allow you to determine θf in terms
of θi .
Hint 2. Find the y component of the ball's final velocity
What is v f y , the y component of the final velocity of the ball?
Express your answer in terms of quantities given in the problem introduction and/or v ix and v iy , the x
and y components of the ball's initial velocity.
Hint 1. How to approach this part
There is no force on the ball in the y direction. From the impulse­momentum theorem, this means that
the change in the y component of the ball's momentum must be zero.

Hint 3. Find the x component of the ball's final velocity
What is v f x , the x component of the ball' final velocity?
Express your answer in terms of quantities given in the problem introduction and/or v ix and v iy , the x
and y components of the ball's initial velocity.
Hint 1. How to approach this problem
Since energy is conserved in this collision, the final speed of the ball must be equal to its initial speed.
ANSWER:
Typesetting math: 65%
vf x

Hint 4. Putting it together
Once you find the vector components of the final velocity in terms of the initial velocity, use the geometry of
similar triangles to determine θf in terms of θi .
ANSWER:
θf
= θi
Correct
Part B
What is the magnitude F of the average force exerted on the ball by the wall?
Express your answer in terms of variables given in the problem introduction and/or v ix .
Hint 1. What physical principle to use

p f⃗ −p i⃗ Δt
⃗ ⃗ = ∑ F Δt

collision. What is Δpx , the magnitude of the change in the ball's x momentum?
Express your answer in terms of quantities given in the problem introduction and/or v ix .

± The Impulse­Momentum Theorem
Learning Goal:
To learn about the impulse­momentum theorem and its applications in some common cases.
Using the concept of momentum, Newton's second law can be rewritten as
⃗ ΣF =
⃗ ⃗ where ΣF is the net force F net acting on the object, and dp ⃗ dt
, (1)
dp ⃗ dt
is the rate at which the object's momentum is changing.
If the object is observed during an interval of time between times t1 and t2 , then integration of both sides of equation (1)
gives
∫
t2
t1
⃗ ΣF dt = ∫
t2
t1
dp ⃗ dt
dt. (2)
→
The right side of equation (2) is simply the change in the object's momentum p2
→
− p1
. The left side is called the impulse of
⃗ the net force and is denoted by J . Then equation (2) can be rewritten as
→
→
⃗ J = p2 − p1
.
This equation is known as the impulse­momentum theorem. It states that the change in an object's momentum is equal to
⃗ the impulse of the net force acting on the object. In the case of a constant net force F net
acting along the direction of
motion, the impulse­momentum theorem can be written as
F (t 2 − t 1 ) = mv 2 − mv 1
. (3)
Here F , v 1 , and v 2 are the components of the corresponding vector quantities along the chosen coordinate axis. If the
motion in question is two­dimensional, it is often useful to apply equation (3) to the x and y components of motion
separately.
Typesetting math: 65%
The following questions will help you learn to apply the impulse­momentum theorem to the cases of constant and varying

So far, we have considered only the situation in which the magnitude of the net force acting on the particle was either
irrelevant to the solution or was considered constant. Let us now consider an example of a varying force acting on a
particle.

the particle between t=0.00 seconds and t=5.00 seconds. Find the speed \texttip{v}{v} of the particle at t=5.00
seconds.

Correct
The ballistic pendulum was invented during the Napoleonic Wars to aide the British Navy in making better
cannons. It has since been used by ballisticians to measure the velocity of a bullet as it leaves the barrel of a gun.
In Part B you will use your expression for \texttip{v_{\rm 0}}{v_0} to compare the initial speeds of bullets fired from
9.0­{\rm mm} and .44­caliber handguns.
Part B
An experiment is done to compare the initial speed of bullets fired from different handguns: a 9.0 {\rm mm} and a .44
caliber. The guns are fired into a 10­{\rm kg} pendulum bob of length \texttip{L}{L}. Assume that the 9.0­{\rm mm} bullet
has a mass of 6.0 {\rm g} and the .44­caliber bullet has a mass of 12 {\rm g} . If the 9.0­{\rm mm} bullet causes the
pendulum to swing to a maximum angular displacement of 4.3^\circ and the .44­caliber bullet causes a displacement of
10.1^\circ , find the ratio of the initial speed of the 9.0­{\rm mm} bullet to the speed of the .44­caliber bullet,
(v_0)_{9.0}/(v_0)_{44}.
Express your answer numerically.
Hint 1. How to approach the problem
Use your expression from Part A to set up the ratio (v_0)_{9.0}/(v_0)_{44}. Try to cancel as many terms as
possible before plugging in your numbers to solve for a numeric answer.
ANSWER:
(v_0)_{9.0}/(v_0)_{44} = 0.85
Typesetting math: 65%
Correct
Police officers in the United States commonly carry 9.0­{\rm mm} handguns because they are easier to handle,
having a shorter barrel than typical .44­caliber guns. Not only does the .44­caliber bullet have more mass than the
9.0­{\rm mm} one, its passage through a longer gun barrel means that it also moves faster as it leaves the barrel,
which makes the .44­caliber Magnum a particularly powerful handgun. A .44­caliber bullet can travel at speeds
over 1000 {\rm {miles \;per\; hour}} (1600 {\rm kilometers\;per\;hour}).
