AI Thread Summary
To calculate the force of impact when a man hits a stationary car bonnet, one must consider the man's mass, the car's mass, and gravitational force. The formula F=G*M1*M2/distance is relevant, but the distance between the man and the car's center of mass needs to be defined for accurate calculations. Additionally, the pulling force on the car's door handle can be analyzed using similar principles of force and mass. The discussion highlights the need for clarity on the distance variable and the effects of impact forces. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement


can someone tell me how to go about this question please;
we are trying to get the force of impact if a man hit the bonnet that is stagnant(the car is not moving) the man is in front of the car and also the pulling force if he tries to forcefully pull the door handel;
Data given are;
Man = 105 kg
Car = 1318 kk
Gravity = 9.8(normal)
hieght of man = 192m
Hieght of car= not really specified just the car is a vw golf so i guess it should be about 1.2 m



Homework Equations



F=G*M1*M2/distance



The Attempt at a Solution



in this case what distance should be used, what effects will be visible?:cry:

Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
