At a race track, a car of mass 2000 kg crashes into a concrete wall at a speed of 77 m/s.
a. if the car comes to a stop when it this the wall, what is the magnitude of the impulse applied to the car?
b. to make things safer, the race track installs barrels of sand along the wall. if the car crashes into the barrels, the time it takes to stop will be increased by a factor of 3, as compared with hitting a concrete wall. how does this affect the force applied to the car during a crash? explain your answer using the appropriate equation.

Space vehicles traveling through earth's radiation belts can intercept a significant number of electrons. the resulting charge buildup can damage electronic components and disrupt operations. suppose a spherical metallic satellite 1.3 m in diameter accumulates 3.0 µc of charge in one orbital revolution. (a) find the resulting surface charge density. (b) calculate the magnitude of the electric field just outside the surface of the satellite, due to the surface charge.

A47.2 g block of copper whose temperature is 480 k is placed in an insulating box with a 91.8 g block of lead whose temperature is 200 k. (a) what is the equilibrium temperature of the two-block system? (b) what is the change in the internal energy of the two-block system between the initial state and the equilibrium state? (c) what is the change in the entropy of the two-block system? the heat capacities of copper and lead are 386 j/kg·k and 128 j/kg·k, respectively.
