During a lecture demonstration, a professor places two coins on the edge of a table. She then flicks one of the coins horizontally off the table, simultaneously nudging the other over the edge. Describe the subsequent motion of the two coins, in particular discussing whether they hit the floor at the same time.

How do the magnitude of the final momentum of two particles from rest and with different mass compare if the same net force acts on both of them as they move over equal distances? The particle of larger mass has more momentum. The particle of smaller mass has more momentum. The particles have equal momenta. Either particle might have more momentum.
Does a baseball bat slow when it comes in contact with a ball traveling opposite of the baseball bats motion? Why?
An astronaut floating at rest in space has run out of fuel in her jetpack. She realizes that throwing tools from her toolkit in the opposite direction will help propel her back toward the space station. If the astronaut has a mass of 85 kg and she throws a hammer of mass 4.5 kg at a speed of 4 m/s, what will be the approximate resultant velocity that carries her back to the space station?
A ball named "Exploding kitten" initially at rest suddenly explodes into two parts. One, with mass of 0.57 kg has a resulting speed of 6.17 m/s relative to its original position. The other mass is moving at a speed of 9.2 m/s. What is its mass? Express ans in two decimal places with units of kg.
A 2.0 kg block has a velocity ( 2i-3j ) m/s, and a 3 kg block has a velocity ( 1i+6j ) m/s. (a)Find the relative velocity of each block with respect to the velocity of the centre of mass. those velocities are the velocities of each object in the center of mass reference frame. (b)Show that the total momentum of the system in the center of mas reference frame is zero.
