Chapter 2, Problem 13P
. At the end of Section 1.4, we mentioned that the maximum acceleration of a fist during a particular karate blow was measured to be about 3,500 m/s2 just before impact with the concrete block. If the mass of the fist was approximately 0.7 kg, what was the maximum force delivered to the concrete block?

The maximum running speed (S) in km/hr and the corresponding body mass (m) in kg were determined for 55 different species of mammals. An empirical relation was determined to be:
S[km/hr] = 5.7 (m[kg])2 . Note: The notation in this equation means, “inserting the mass (m) in units of ‘kg’, automatically calculates the maximum running speed (S) in units of ‘km/hr’. ”
(a) What are the implied units for the “5.7” factor? Hint: recall that relations between physical quantities must be dimensionally consistent, and the chosen units must in turn be consistent with the dimensionality.
(b) Re-write the equation so that it gives the maximum speed in units of “m/s” for a given body mass in “g”. Show all relevant details. If done correctly, you will need to use at least one unit conversion factor.
Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, the first having a mass of 130,000 kg and a velocity of 0.300 m/s, and the
second having a mass of 115,000 kg and a velocity of -0.120 m/s. (The minus indicates direction of motion.)
What is their final velocity (in m/s)? (Enter a number.)

A young man was rushed to the operating room to treat several gunshot wounds. If a rib fracture requires a force of 3,200 N, does a bullet with a mass of 7.5 grams that strikes the rib with an deacceleration of 4.4x105 m/s2 have enough force to create the fracture? What is the force?

Assuming friction is zero, what is the magnitude of the force (in N) of the car's bumper on the truck's bumper? Hullo, everyone! I actually know the answer to this question, because I keep getting it marked as wrong - the answer is supposed to be 4178, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how. I thought it would be as simple as finding the acceleration, then multiplying by mass, but I've tried converting kg to g, tried the law of equal and oppositie reaction, tried the car's mass, tried the truck's mass, but I never even get close to the answer I've been given. The AI function on Bartleby, which I have often found quite useful, also can't get 4178.
