B When a projectile is fired into a box, momentum is transferred. If the box is dangling on a string, it will swing like a pendulum. Suppose a 1 gram Nerf projectile is fired into a 25 gram empty Kleenex box several times, and on average the box swings back 6 degrees from the impact. The length of the string is 0.8 meters.

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large enough to be detected by radar, but there are far greater numbers of very small objects, such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted by a 0.100-mg chip of paint that strikes a spacecraft window at a relative speed of 4.00103m/s , given the collision lasts 6.00108s .
Professional Application Calculate the increase in velocity of a 4000-kg space probe that expels 3500 kg of its mass at an exhaust velocity of 2.00103 m/s. You may assume the gravitational force is negligible at the probe's location.
Your physical education teacher throws a baseball to you at a certain speed and you catch it. The teacher is next going to throw you a medicine ball whose mass is ten times the mass of the baseball. You are given the following choices: You can have the medicine ball thrown with (a) the same speed as the baseball, (b) the same momentum, or (c) the same kinetic energy. Rank these choices from easiest to hardest to catch.

Professional Application The Moon's craters are remnants of meteorite collisions. Suppose a fairly large asteroid that has a mass of 5.001012 kg (about a kilometer across) strikes the Moon ata speed of 15.0 km/s. (a) At what speed does the Moon recoil after the perfectly inelastic collision (the mass of the Moon is 7.361022 kg) ? (b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision? Such an event may have been observed by medieval English monks who reported observing a red glow and subsequent haze about the Moon. (c) In October 2009, NASA crashed a rocket into the Moon, and analyzed the plume produced by the impact. (Significant amounts of water were detected.) Answer part (a) and (b) for this real-life experiment. The mass of the rocket was 2000 kg and its speed upon impact was 9000 km/h. How does the plume produced alter these results?
