A 5-kg cart moving to the right with a speed of 6 m/s collides with a concrete wall and rebounds with a speed of 2 m/s. What is the change in momentum of the cart? (a) 0 (b) 40 kg m/s (c) 40 kg m/s (d) 30 kg m/s (e) 10 kg m/s
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
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 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.

(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.)
Two skateboarders, with masses m1 = 75.0 kg and m2 = 65.0 kg, simultaneously leave the opposite sides of a frictionless half-pipe at height h = 4.00 m as shown in Figure P11.49.

Assume the pucks in Figure P11.66 stick together after theircollision at the origin. Puck 2 has four times the mass of puck 1 (m2 = 4m1).

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.
