A baseball catcher is performing a stunt for a television commercial. He will catch a baseball (mass 145 g) dropped from a height of 60.0 m above his glove. His glove stops the ball in 0.0100 s. What is the force exerted by his glove on the ball?
A 3.00-kg object is moving in a plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 5t2 1 and y = 3t3 + 2, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Find the magnitude of the net force acting on this object at t = 2.00 s.
An impala is an African antelope capable of a remarkable vertical leap. In one recorded leap, a 45 kg impala went into a deep crouch, pushed straight up for 0.21 s, and reached a height of 2.5 m above the ground. To achieve this vertical leap, with what force did the impala push down on the ground? What is the ratio of this force to the antelope’s weight?
Three forces act on a 5-kg object: F1 = -2.0i + 3.0j N, F2 = 5.0i + 3.5j N, and F3 = 0.5i- 1.0j N. Assuming the object starts at rest at to = 0, write its velocity as a function of time.
While two forces act on it, a particle is to move at the constant velocity = (3.58 m/s) -(-3.26 m/s). One of the forces is F1 = (1.88 N) + (-5.85 N). What is the other force? Number i + i j Units
Komi was on vacation and went to scale Mt. Banahaw. Her weight at the base of the mountain is 540 N, on top she weighs 539.5 N. Note that the gravity acceleration decreases about 0.373 cm/s² for each 1000 m ascent. Determine the height in m of a point above the base where her weight decreases by 2.375%.

The block starts from rest and moves a distance 10.5m in a time of 4.80s. What is the mass of the block of ice? If the worker stops pushing after 4.80s, how far does the block move in the next 5.40s?
As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by a tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 48.5 kg. if this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 5.80 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface. what is the magnitude of the force F during the interval
