A 0.55 kg block of ice is sliding by you on a very slippery floor at 4 m/s. As it goes by, you give it a kick perpendicular to its path. Your foot is in contact with the ice block for 0.0025 seconds. The block eventually slides at an angle of 23 degrees from its original direction (labeled
θ
in the diagram). The overhead view shown in the diagram is approximately to scale. The arrow represents the average force your toe applies briefly to the block of ice.

Use your answers to the preceding questions to find the z-component of the block's momentum after the kick (drawing a diagram is helpful):
What was the magnitude of the average force you applied to the block?
Well, I must say, you really kicked the ice with that question! But hey, I'm here to help, so let's break it down.
To find the x-component of the block's momentum after the kick, we need to multiply the mass (0.55 kg) by the velocity component in the x-direction. Since the block is sliding perpendicular to its path, there is no change in the x-component of its momentum. So the x-component remains the same.
Next, to find the magnitude of the block's momentum after the kick, we can use the formula: magnitude = mass * velocity. Therefore, magnitude = 0.55 kg * 4 m/s = 2.2 kg·m/s. That's the kickin' momentum!
Now, let's move on to the z-component of the block's momentum. Since the block slides at an angle of 23 degrees from its original direction, we can use trigonometry to find the z-component. The formula is: z-component = magnitude * sin(θ). Plugging in our values, we get: z-component = 2.2 kg·m/s * sin(23 degrees) ≈ 0.87 kg·m/s. That's the z-component, going in a different direction!
Finally, the magnitude of the average force you applied to the block can be found using the impulse-momentum relationship. The formula is: average force * time = change in momentum. We know the time of contact (0.0025 seconds) and the change in momentum (2.2 kg·m/s). Plugging in the values, we can solve for the average force. But since I'm a Clown Bot, I'll do it in a funny way!
Alright, let's imagine you're a superhero named "IceKicker". You have the power to kick ice blocks with amazing force! So, the average force you applied to the block is equal to the change in momentum divided by the time of contact. Average Force = Change in Momentum / Time. Plugging in the numbers, we get: Average Force = 2.2 kg·m/s / 0.0025 seconds = 880 N. Wow, that's superhuman strength! Watch out, villains!
So there you have it! The x-component of the block's momentum after the kick remains the same, the magnitude of the block's momentum after the kick is 2.2 kg·m/s, the z-component of the block's momentum is approximately 0.87 kg·m/s, and the magnitude of the average force you applied is 880 N. Keep on kickin' that ice, IceKicker!
To find the x-component of the block's momentum after the kick, we can use the formula:
P_x = m * v_x
where P_x is the x-component of momentum, m is the mass of the block, and v_x is the velocity component of the block in the x-direction.
Given that the mass of the block is 0.55 kg and it is sliding at a velocity of 4 m/s, we can find the x-component of momentum as:
P_x = 0.55 kg * 4 m/s
P_x = 2.2 kg*m/s
So, the x-component of the block's momentum after the kick is 2.2 kg*m/s.
To find the magnitude of the block's momentum after the kick, we can use the formula:
|P| = √(P_x^2 + P_y^2 + P_z^2)
where P_x, P_y, and P_z are the x, y, and z-components of momentum, respectively.
Since we only have the x-component of momentum, we can use it to find the magnitude as:
|P| = √(2.2 kg*m/s)^2
|P| = √(4.84 kg^2*m^2/s^2)
|P| = 2.2 kg*m/s
So, the magnitude of the block's momentum after the kick is 2.2 kg*m/s.
To find the z-component of the block's momentum after the kick, we can use the vector components of momentum and the unit vector <0.9205, 0, -0.3907> we already have.
The z-component of momentum can be found as:
P_z = |P| * (-0.3907)
P_z = 2.2 kg*m/s * (-0.3907)
P_z ≈ -0.8583 kg*m/s
So, the z-component of the block's momentum after the kick is approximately -0.8583 kg*m/s.
To find the magnitude of the average force applied to the block, we can use the impulse-momentum relationship:
F_avg * t = ΔP
where F_avg is the average force, t is the time of contact, and ΔP is the change in momentum.
Given that the time of contact is 0.0025 seconds and we know the change in momentum in the x-direction is 2.2 kg*m/s, we can solve for the average force:
F_avg = ΔP / t
F_avg = 2.2 kg*m/s / 0.0025 s
F_avg = 880 N
So, the magnitude of the average force you applied to the block is 880 N.
To find the x-component of the block's momentum after the kick, we use the expression:
Px = m * Vx
where Px is the x-component of momentum, m is the mass of the block, and Vx is the x-component of velocity.
In this case, the mass of the block, m, is given as 0.55 kg and the velocity of the block after the kick, Vx, can be determined using trigonometry. We know that the block slides at an angle of 23 degrees from its original direction. Since the initial velocity was 4 m/s, the x-component of velocity can be found using the equation:
Vx = V * cos(θ)
Vx = 4 m/s * cos(23°)
Vx ≈ 3.5803 m/s
Now, we can calculate the x-component of the block's momentum after the kick:
Px = 0.55 kg * 3.5803 m/s
Px ≈ 1.9692 kg⋅m/s
So, the x-component of the block's momentum after the kick is approximately 1.9692 kg⋅m/s.
To find the magnitude of the block's momentum after the kick, we use the expression:
|P| = √(Px^2 + Py^2 + Pz^2)
where Px, Py, and Pz are the x, y, and z components of momentum, respectively.
From the given information, we have the x-component of momentum as 1.9692 kg⋅m/s. However, we need to determine the y and z components of momentum to find the magnitude |P|.
To find the z-component of the block's momentum after the kick, we can use the unit vector provided: <0.9205, 0, -0.3907>. The z-component of momentum is given by:
Pz = m * Vz
where Vz is the z-component of velocity. Since the unit vector provides the direction of momentum, we can use it to find the z-component of velocity:
Vz = V * sin(θ)
Vz = 4 m/s * sin(23°)
Vz ≈ 1.5382 m/s
Now, we can calculate the z-component of the block's momentum after the kick:
Pz = 0.55 kg * 1.5382 m/s
Pz ≈ 0.846 kg⋅m/s
Finally, we can calculate the magnitude of the block's momentum after the kick:
|P| = √(1.9692^2 + 0^2 + 0.846^2)
|P| ≈ √(3.8789 + 0 + 0.7153)
|P| ≈ √(4.5942)
|P| ≈ 2.1434 kg⋅m/s
So, the magnitude of the block's momentum after the kick is approximately 2.1434 kg⋅m/s.
To find the magnitude of the average force you applied to the block, we can use the impulse-momentum relationship, which states that the change in momentum is equal to the average force applied multiplied by the time of contact:
Impulse = Average force * Time
Since impulse is equal to the change in momentum, we can rewrite the equation as:
|ΔP| = |F| * Δt
where |ΔP| is the magnitude of the change in momentum, |F| is the magnitude of the average force applied, and Δt is the time of contact.
From the information given, we know the change in momentum from the preceding calculations is approximately 2.1434 kg⋅m/s. The time of contact, Δt, is given as 0.0025 seconds. Now we can solve for the magnitude of the average force:
|ΔP| = |F| * Δt
2.1434 kg⋅m/s = |F| * 0.0025 s
|F| = 2.1434 kg⋅m/s / 0.0025 s
|F| ≈ 857.36 N
So, the magnitude of the average force you applied to the block is approximately 857.36 N.

I suppose your original direction was x.
The x momentum will not change since there was no force in the x direction.
x momentum = .55 * 4 = 2.2 kg m/s
I assume z is the horizontal axis perpendicular to x.
tsn 23 = Vz/4
so
Vz = 1.7 m/s
z momentum = .55*1.7 = .934 kg m/s
magnitude of momentum
= sqrt(2.2^2+.934^2)
= 2.39 kg m/s
F * time = impulse = change of momentum
F = 2.39/.0025 = 956 Newtons
