A moderate force will break an egg. However, an egg dropped on the road usually breaks, while one dropped on the grass usually doesn't break. This is because for the egg dropped on the grass: O the change in momentum is greater. O the change in momentum is less. O the time interval for stopping is greater. O the time interval for stopping is less.

Check Your Understanding Even if there were some friction on the ice, it is still possible to use conservation of momentum to solve this problem, but you would need to imposed an additional condition on the problem. What is that additional condition?

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.
Momentum for a system can be conserved in one direction while not being conserved in another. What is the angle between the directions? Give an example.
A superball of mass M and a marble of mass m are dropped from a height h with the marble just on top of the superball. A superball has a coefficient of restitution of nearly 1 (i.e., its collision is essentially elastic). Ignore the sizes of the superball and marble. The superball collides with the floor, rebounds, and smacks the marble, which moves back up. How high does the marble go if all the motion is vertical? How high does the superball go?
In research in cardiology and exercise physiology, it is often important to know the mass of blood pumped by a persons heart in one stroke. This information can be obtained by means of a ballistocardiograph. The instrument works as follows. The subject lies on a horizontal pallet floating on a film of air. Friction on the pallet is negligible. Initially, the momentum of the system is zero. When the heart beats, it expels a mass m of blood into the aorta with speed , and the body and platform move in the opposite direction with speed V The blood velocity can be determined independently (e.g., by observing the Doppler shift of ultrasound). Assume that it is 50.0 cm/s in one typical trial. The mass of the subject plus the pallet is 54.0 kg. The pallet moves 6.00 10-5 m in 0.160 s after one heartbeat. Calculate the mass of blood that leaves the heart. Assume that the mass of blood is negligible compared with the total mass of the person. (This simplified example illustrates the principle of ballistocardiography, but in practice a more sophisticated model of heart function is used.)

Check Your Understanding Suppose there had been no friction (the collision happened on ice); that would make k zero, and thus vc.f=2kgd=0 , which is obviously wrong. What is the mistake in this conclusion?
