Two atoms collide while moving in a gas. The larger atom has a mass M1 = 6 Daltons and a speed v1 = 230 m/s, while the smaller has a mass M2 = 1 Daltons (D). During the collision both atoms simply bounce off each other. They do not change their speeds, but after the collision they each reverse their directions, bouncing straight back. (You may express your results using the mass unit "Daltons". 1 Dalton is approximately equal to the mass of a proton or neutron and is defined as one-twelfth the mass of a single neutral carbon-12 atom in its ground state.) What is the magnitude of the change in the momentum, Δp1, of mass M1?

A neutron with mass m1 moving with velocity v0 collides elastically and head-on with a target particle with mass m2 that is at rest. After the collision, the neutron moves with velocity v1f and the target particle moves with velocity v2f.

A cart has the rubber bumper attached to the force sensor, and it moves and collides with an end-stop. In the collision, it suffers a change in momentum = 4.05 kg.m/s, and the time during which the collision takes place is 0.182 seconds. Calculate the average force applied on the cart by the bumper, in newtons.
