Phys 101 help
5. Superman jumps in front of a speeding bus, puts out his arms and
stops the bus in 1 second. If the bus was traveling at 37 mph and weighs 57000 Lb. What force did Superman apply to the bus? Hints: Use the "Impulse Equation" to relate the average force to the change in momentum in a period of time. For the mass of the bus you use W = m · g which gives m = W / g . Superman applied a force of__________ Lb. (Note English units.) 10. Often in movies you see a person hit by a bullet being thrown backward by the impact of the bullet. If a 69 kg person is hit by a 51 g bullet traveling at 390 m/s what would be the velocity of the person after the bullet hits. Assume the bullet remains in the person. The velocity of the person+bullet is ____________ m/s.
