It threw up so much dust that the sun was blocked for a period of many months. Suppose the asteroid had a mass of 40350000000000 kg and hit the earth (mass = 6 x 1024 kg) with an impact speed of 1850 m/s. What would be the earth's recoil speed after such a collision?

Alex Morgan, one of America's best forwards, kicks a 450. g soccer ball that was moving towards her at a speed of 12.0m/s, the impact caused the ball to leave her foot with a velocity of 20.0 m/s in the opposite direction. a. If the impact lasted for 0.250s, what force (magnitude and direction) did Alex exert on the soccer ball? b. What is one thing that she could do to make the soccer ball have a larger change in momentum?
1. For the purposes of this problem make sure you remember that the positive x direction is to the right. A 0.500 kg crash cart was rolling to the left at &; = -1.00 m/s. It was hit with a rubber hammer. Just afterwards the cart was rolling to the right with Uf = +2.50 m/s. The hammer was in contact with the cart for only 5.00 milliseconds. Remember to specify the direction in your answers as either postive or negative. (a) What is the change in momentum, Ap, for the cart? (b) What is the Impulse, I, applied by the hammer to the cart? (c) What is the average force, F, applied by the hammer to the cart? +x X+ Vf +X

A stationary 2.17-kg object is struck by a stick. The object experiences a horizontal force given by F = at - bt 2, where t is the time in seconds from the instant the stick first contacts the object. If a = 1,500,000 N/s and b = 20,000,000 N/s?, what is the speed of the object just after it comes away from the stick at t = 2.55 x 103 s? %3D
1.3 It is believed that, about 66 million years ago, an asteroid hit the Earth close to what is now the town of Chicxulub on Mexico's Yucatán peninsula, leading to the extinction of dinosaurs and many other species. Assume that the asteroid had a mass Mast 1016 kg, and that it hit the Earth (Me = 6.0x1024 kg) with a speed of about 20 km/s relative to the Earth. We may model the impact as completely inelastic. Also assume that the asteroid hit the Earth “head-on", rather than at some angle. (a) In the frame in which the Earth is initially at rest, how fast does the Earth-asteroid system move after the impact? (b) How much kinetic energy is released in the impact? (c) Compare your answer in part (b) with an energy of 240 PJ, the amount of energy released by the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. [The metric prefix "P" for “Peta" is 1015 !] 99
A trap-jaw ant snaps its mandibles shut at very high speed, a good trait for catching small prey. But an ant can also slam its mandibles into the ground; the resulting force can launch the ant into the air for a quick escape. A 12 mgmg ant hits the ground with an average force of 47 mNmN for a time of 0.13 msms; these are all typical values.
A rubber ball is dropped and bounces vertically from a horizontal concrete floor. If the ball has a speed of 3.2 m/s just before striking the floor and a speed of 2.4 m/s just after bouncing, what is the average force of the floor on the ball? Assume the ball is in contact with the floor for 0.15 s and the mass of the ball is 0.14 kg. N
