Problem 4.31
Car bumpers are designed to limit the extent of damage to the car in
the case of low-velocity collisions. Consider a
1420 kg
passenger car
impacting a concrete barrier while traveling at a speed of
5:0 km=h
.
Model the car as a particle and consider two bumper models: (1)
a simple linear spring with constant
k
and (2) a linear spring of
constant
k
in parallel with a shock-absorbing unit generating a nearly
constant force FSD2000 N over 10 cm.
If the bumper is of type 1 and if
kD9⇥104N=m
, find the spring
compression (distance) necessary to stop the car.

Problem 4.36
Assuming that the plunger of a pinball machine has negligible mass and
that friction is negligible, determine the spring constant

spring is uncompressed.
Solution
We model the ball as a particle subject only to the force of the plunger

skydiver is falling at a speed of
250 km=h
