What happens to the cue ball's momentum? Wbt all enctst 9. the 4 sall., 2) Abulldozer and a Mini Cooper are involved in a head-on collision. Which one experiences a greater force? Which one has a greater impulse? Which one has a : e 5 ) . greater change in velocity?

While driving on Earth, a Mars rover moves at a speed of 30 mph. If the rover moves with the same Speed on Mars, would it have more, less, or the same momentum as when on Earth? (44 - 5) Explain why it feels more forceful when you catch a baseball with your bare hand, as | opposed to catching it with a glove.

\\\jjj‘ oanmps , Mechanics, Heat, and Sound (PHY 302K) Name: Part 2 Sketch the results you expect for each of the following collisions. Explain your reasoning for each. For each situation use velocity vectors over each cart to indicate how much velocity each cart has. If a cart will have no velocity write a zero over the cart. 9) Consider a track with two equal mass carts on it as shown. Draw what the situation of the two carts after the collision and explain your reasoning in the space provided. Before After j U'.
