Little Tammy lines up to tackle Jackson to (unsuccessfully) prove the law of conservation ofmomentum. Tammy's mass is 34.0 kg and Jackson's is 54.0 kg. Jackson is running at a velocity of3.0 m/s. What must Tammy's minimum velocity be in order to stop Jackson's forward momentum?8. In a collision, a 25.0 kg mass moving at 3.0 m/s transfers all of its momentum to a 5.0 kg mass.What is the velocity of the 5.0 kg mass after the collision?9.

What is the combined momentum ofyour brother and his skateboard if they are going 8.50 m/s?BONUS:A 15.0 kg medicine ball is thrown at a velocity of 10.0 m/s to a 60.0 kg person who is a rest onice. The person catches the ball and immediately slides across the ice. Assume that momentumis conserved and there is no friction. Calculate the velocity of the person AND THE BALL.

A billiard player sends the cue ball toward a group of three balls that are initially at rest and in contact with one another. After the cue ball strikes the group, the four balls scatter, each traveling in a different direction with different speeds as shown in Figure P10.30. If each ball has the same mass, 0.16 kg, determine the total momentum of the system consisting of the four balls immediately after the collision. FIGURE P10.30
