A trap-jaw ant snaps its mandibles shut at very high speed, a good trait for catching small prey. But an ant can also slam its mandibles into the ground; the resulting force can launch the ant into the air for a quick escape. A 12 mg ant hits the ground with an average force of 47 mN for a time of 0.10 ms; these are all typical values. At what speed does it leave the ground? Answer out to 3 decimal places.

A child and sled with a combined mass of 32.4 kg slide down a frictionless hill, starting at the top. The sled starts from rest and acquires a speed of 6.9 m/s by the time it reaches the bottom of the hill. What is the height (in m) of the hill?
A child and sled with a combined mass of 53.9 kg slide down a frictionless slope. If the sled starts from rest and has a speed of 8.98 m/s at the bottom, what is the height of the hill? m ( ± 0.02 m)
Whether or not an object (such as a plate, glass, or bone) breaks upon impact depends on the average force exerted on that object by the surface. When a 2.5 kg glass figure hits the floor, it will break if it experiences an average force of 538 N. When it hits a tile floor, the glass comes to a stop in 0.020 s. From what minimum height (in m) must the glass fall to experience sufficient force to break? m How would your answer change if the figure were falling to a padded or carpeted surface? Explain. The duration of the collision would be shorter, so the average force for a given change in momentum would be more.The duration of the collision would be longer, so the average force for a given change in momentum would be less. The duration of the collision would be longer, so the average force for a given change in momentum would be more.The duration of the collision would be shorter, so the average force for a given change in momentum would be less.
At the start of a race, a four-man bobsled team pushes their sled as fast as they can along a 50 m flat starting stretch. The net force that the four men together apply to the 325 kg bobsled is 964.079 N directed at 15 degrees below the horizontal. As they push, 60 N of kinetic friction opposes them. What is the speed of the sled right before the team jumps on the sled?
A 2.1 x 10-kg car starts from rest at the top of a 5.8-m-long driveway that is inclined at 15° with the horizontal. If an average friction force of 4.0 x 103N impedes the motion, find the speed of the car at the bottom of the driveway. Enter a number. differs from the correct answer by more than 10%.

Carrie is pushing a 39.8 kg shopping cart at a speed of 0.744 m/s. If she applies a force of 6.59 N, for a period of 2.05 seconds, what will be the speed of the shopping cart after this force is applied?
An object of mass 10.0 kg is initially at rest. A 100 N force causes it to move horizontally through a distance of 6.00 m. What is the change in the kinetic energy of this object?
A soccer ball with mass 0.470 kg is intially moving with speed 2.10 m/s. A soccer player kicks the ball, exerting a constant force of magnitude 41.0 N in the same direction as the ball's motion. Over what distance must the player's foot be in contact with the ball to increase the ball's speed to 6.00 m/s? 0.240 m 0.320 m 0.181 m 0.165 m 0.123 m
Whether or not an object (such as a plate, glass, or bone) breaks upon impact depends on the average force exerted on that object by the surface. When a 1.2-kg glass figure hits the floor, it will break if it experiences an average force of 330 N. When it hits a tile floor, the glass comes to a stop in 0.015 s. From what minimum height must the glass fall to experience sufficient force to break? How would your answer change if the figure were falling to a padded or carpeted surface? Explain.
An object of mass ?=8.9 kg is free to move on a horizontal surface without any friction. It is initially at rest and starts moving under a net force of ?⃗=(3 N)?̂+(4 N)?̂. What is the object's speed in m/s after moving 1 meter?
