Two football players with masses of 60 kg and 50 kg run directly toward each other. The 60 kg football player runs to the east with a velocity of 5.00 m/s. The 50.kg football player runs to the west with a velocity of 4.00 m/s. If they grab each other as they collide, what is the velocity of the players just after the collision?

A 100-g firecracker is launched vertically into the air and explodes into two pieces at the peak of its trajectory. If a 72-g piece is projected horizontally to the left at 20 m/s, what is the speed and direction of the other piece?
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
A car crashes into a large tree that does not move. The car goes from 30 m/s to 0 in 1.3 m. (a) What impulse is applied to the driver by the seatbelt, assuming he follows the same motion as the car? (b) What is the average force applied to the driver by the seatbelt?
a man of mass m1 = 70.0 kg is skating at v1 = 8.00 m/s behind his wife of mass m2 = 50.0 kg, who is skating at v2 = 4.00 m/s. Instead of passing her, he inadvertently collides with her. He grabs her around the waist, and they maintain their balance. (a) Sketch the problem with before-and-after diagrams, representing the skaters as blocks. (b) Is the collision best described as elastic, inelastic, or perfectly inelastic? Why? (c) Write the general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m1, v1, m2, v2, and final velocity vf. (d) Solve the momentum equation for vf. (e) Substitute values, obtaining the numerical value for vf, their speed after the collision.
A soccer player runs up behind a 0.450-kg soccer ball traveling at 3.20 m/s and kicks it in the same direction as it is moving, increasing its speed to 12.8 m/s. (a) What is the change in the magnitude of the balls momentum? (b) What magnitude impulse did the soccer player deliver to the ball? (c) What magnitude impulse would be required to kick the ball in the opposite direction at 12.8 m/s, instead? (See Section 6.1.)
A model rocket engine has an average thrust of 5.26 N. It has an initial mass of 25.5 g, which includes fuel mass of 12.7 g. The duration of its burn is 1.90 s. (a) What is the average exhaust speed of the engine? (b) This engine is placed in a rocket body of mass 53.5 g. What is the final velocity of the rocket if it were to be fired from rest in outer space by an astronaut on a space-walk? Assume the fuel burns at a constant rate.
Initially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide elastically in the trough of the track. If m2 = 4 m1, m1 = 0.045 kg, and h = 0.65 m, what is the velocity of each ball after the collision?
(a) A car traveling due east strikes a car traveling due north at an intersection, and the two move together as a unit. A property owner on the southeast corner of the intersection claims that his fence was torn down in the collision. Should he be awarded damages by the insurance company? Defend your answer, (b) Let the eastward-moving car have a mass of 1.30 103-kg and a speed of 30.0 km/h and the northward-moving car a mass of 1.10 103-kg and a speed of 20.0 km/h. Find the velocity after the collision. Are the results consistent with your answer to part (a)?
A baseball bat of uniform density is cut at the location of its center of mass as shown in Figure 9.18. Which piece has the smaller mass? (a) the piece on the right (b) the piece on the left (c) both pieces have the same mass (d) impossible to determine Figure 9.18 (Quick Quiz 9.7) A baseball bat cut at the location of its center of mass.
Two metersticks are connected at their ends as shown in Figure P10.18. The center of mass of each individual meterstick is at its midpoint, and the mass of each meterstick is m. a. Where is the center of mass of the two-stick system as depicted in the figure, with the origin located at the intersection of the sticks? b. Can the two-stick system be balanced on the end of your finger so that it remains lying flat in front of you in the orientation shown? Why or why not? FIGURE P10.18 (a) The center of mass of the stick on the x axis would be at (0.5 m, 0), and the center of mass of the stick on the stick on the y axis be at (0, 0.5 m), assuming the sticks are uniform. We can then use Equation 10.3 to find the x and y coordinates of the center of mass. xCM=1Mj=1nmjxj=12m[m(0.50m)]=0.25myCM=1Mj=1nmjyj=12m[m(0.50m)]=0.25m The location of the center of mass is (0.25m,0.25m) (b) No. The location of the center of mass is not located on the object, so your finger would not be in contact with the object. In a different orientation, balancing by applying a force at the center of mass might be possible, but not in the orientation shown.
