It is generally a good idea to gain an understanding of the size of units. Consider each object and calculate the magnitude of their momentum in SI units. A ladybug with mass 28.50 milligrams flies by your head at 3.75 km/h. magnitude of the momentum: kg-m/s A 37.90 km boy walks at 4.05 km/h. magnitude of the momentum: kg-m/s A car with mass 841 kg is moving at a speed of 41.3 km/h. magnitude of the momentum: kg-m/s
Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, the first having a mass of 180,000 kg and a velocity of 0.300 m/s,and the second having a mass of 95,000 kg and a velocity of −0.120 m/s. (The minus indicates direction of motion.) What is their final velocity (in m/s)? m/s
Two carts mounted on an air track are moving toward one another. Cart 1 has a speed of 1.2 m/s and a mass of 0.42 kg. Cart 2 has a mass of 0.68 kg. (a) If the total momentum of the system is to be zero, what is the initial speed of Cart 2 in meters per second? m/s (b) Does it follow that the kinetic energy of the system is also zero since the momentum of the system is zero? O Yes O No (c) Determine the system's kinetic energy in joules in order to substantiate your answer to part (b).

1. What is the total momentum of the following system? a) Two 1-kg balls move away from each other; one travels with 5 m/s to the right and the other 5 m/s to the left. b) Two balls move away from each other, both travelling at 7 m/s along the same direction. One has mass of 2 kg and the other has a mass of 3 kg.
36. It is known that a lab cart is moving east at 25 cm/s at time t1 = 0.10 s, and then moving east at 15 cm/s at t2 = 0.20 s. Is this enough information to determine the direction of the net force acting on the cart between t1 and t2? Yes, since we know the cart is slowing down, its momentum change is opposite the direction of movement, and the net force is in the direction of momentum change. No, because we don’t know whether forces such as friction or air resistance might be acting on the cart. No, because we don’t know the mass of the cart. Yes, since we know the cart keeps moving to the east, the net force must be in the direction of motion.
A system consists of three particles with these masses and velocities: mass 3.00 kg, moving north at 3.00 m/s; mass 4.00 kg, moving south at 4.20 m/s; and mass 7.00 kg, moving north at 2.00 m/s. What is the total momentum of the system? Take north as the positive axis. Enter a positive answer if the total momentum is due north and a negative answer if the total momentum is due south. ____kg ⋅ m/s
