(1) Consider a 0.62kg basketball that is dropped from a height of 1 meter above the floor. (a) If the collision the basketball is completely elastic how high would the ball rise after bouncing off the ground? (b) If the ball's collision with the ground is not completely clastic, what could you say about the maximum height that ball reaches after the bounce? (c)Calculate the change in momentum of the ball if the collision with the ground is perfectly elastic (d) Find the average force acting on the ball during a collision of 20s duration.

Two identical objects (such as billiard balls) have a one-dimensional collision in which one is initially motionless. After the collision, the moving object is stationary and the other moves with the same speed as the other originally had. Show that both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
What is the average momentum of an avalanche that moves a 40-cm-thick layer of snow over an area of 100 m by 500 m over a distance of 1 km down a hill in 5.5 s? Assume a density of 350kg/m3 for the snow.
A 35-kg child rides a relatively massless sled down a hill and then coasts along the flat section at the bottom, where a second 35-kg child jumps on the sled as it passes by her. If the speed of the sled is 3.5 m/s before the second child jumps on, what is its speed after she jumps on?
Check Your Understanding Would the ball’s change of momentum have been larger, smaller, or the same, if it had collided with the floor and stopped (without bouncing)?

A billiard ball moving at 5.00 m/s strikes a stationary ball of the same mass. After the collision, the first ball moves at 4.33 m/s at an angle of 30.0 with respect to the original line of motion. Assuming an elastic collision (and ignoring friction and rotational motion), find the struck balls velocity after the collision.
