Impulse momentum theorem A mass of 10.0 kg is accelerated from 5 m/s
to 12 m/s in 2 seconds. Calculate the change in momentum, the impulse required, the force that must be applied and the distance traveled in this event.
Linear collision Glider A of mass 0.355 kg moves along a
frictionless air track with a velocity of 0.095 m/s. It collides with glider B of mass 0.710 kg moving in the same direction at a speed of 0.045 m/s. After the collision, glider A continues to move in the same direction but with a velocity of 0.35 m/s. What is the velocity of B after the collision? Review this problem in 2009
Collisions at an angle. Sample problem 2.
A 0.5 kg ball collides with another ball at rest of mass 1.0 kg. After the collision, the 1.0 kg ball moves away at an angle of 60o with a velocity of 2.0 m/s. The 0.5 kg ball rolls at an angle of 135 at 3.0 m/s. What was the momentum of the 0.5 kg ball before the collision?
Collisions at an angle.. Sample problem 1
Two bicyclists approach an intersection, one from the east with a mass of 110 kg and one from the south with a mass of 140 kg and is traveling at 25 m/s. They collide and the bicycles become locked together. The two move and an angle of 300o. What was the speed of the 110 kg cyclist?
Collisions at an angle Sample problem An object of mass 15.0 kg and a velocity of 2.00
m/s collides with a stationary object having the same mass. After the collision, the first object moves along a line that makes an angle of 400 to the right of the original path. The second object moves at an angle of 100o to the left of the path of the first object after the collision. A) Determine the momentum of each object after the collision. B) Calculate the speed of each object after the collision.

Sample problem Stopping distance. A 2500 kg car traveling to the north is slowed down uniformly from an
initial velocity of 20.0 m/s bya 6250 N braking force acting opposite the car’s motion. Use the impulse momentum theorem to answer the following questions:
A. What is the car’s velocity after 2.50 seconds? B. How far does the car move during the 2.50 seconds? C. How long does it take the car to come to a complete stop?

Explosions – internal force An explosion blows a rock into three parts by
internal force. Two pieces go off at right angles to each other; a 1.0 kg piece at 12 m/s and a 2.0 kg piece at 8.0 m/s. The third piece flies off at 40 m/s. What is the mass of the third piece? What was the mass of the rock?
