Transcribed Image Text:1
A 95 g projectile is launched at a speed of 22 m/s. It strikes a 1.7 kg stationary ball of clay,
and becomes embedded in the clay. How fast does the combined projectile-clay unit travel
immediately after the collision?

Two train cars are about to link together. Car A has a mass of 76, 000 kg, and is traveling
north at a speed of 0.55 m/s. Car B has a mass of 33, 000 kg, and is traveling south at a
speed of $1.9$` m/s. After they connect, what will be the velocity of the combined unit?
Kayla and Jasmine are sledding down a hill. Kayla, who has a mass of 34 kg and a velocity
of 7.9 m/s in the positive direction, is directly behind Jasmine, who has a mass of 27 kg
and a velocity of 5.4 m/s in the same direction. When Kayla collides with Jasmine, Kayla's
velocity drops to 4.8 m/s. What is Jasmine's velocity immediately after the collision?

Jamison is playing pool. He strikes a 170 gram cue ball so that it moves at a velocity of 5.9
m/s in the positive x-direction. The cue ball, in turn, strikes a stationary 160 gram
numbered ball so that it travels with a velocity of 5.4 m/s in the positive x-direction. What
is the velocity of the cue ball immediately after the collision?
Two shipping packages are sliding down a smooth table, in the positive direction. Package
A has a mass of 12 kg, and a velocity of 6 m/s. Package B has a mass of 8 kg, and a velocity
of 10 m/s. If the packages were to collide, which of the following sets of velocities would
conserve momentum?
Two people are running south. The first person has a mass of 66 kg, and is running at a
speed of 5.1 m/s. The second person has a mass of 74 kg, and is running at a speed of 4.7
m/s. If these two people were to collide, what would their combined momentum be after
the collision?
