A space probe of mass M travels through deep space with a constant speed of 10 km/s relative to a nearby observer. At time t=1s, the space probe explodes into 3 unequal pieces. At time t=4s, the largest piece explodes into 3 more pieces, making a total of 5 pieces. The 5 pieces have masses of 0.1M, 0.25M, 0.45M, 0.15M and 0.05M. Relative to the nearby observer, how far did the center of mass of the space ship travel during the 7 second time interval that started at t = Os and ended at t = 7s?

Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time, when they're not sleeping or eating, joyfully scampering about on the cage's floor. Bryce tracks his mice's health diligently and just now recorded their masses as 0.0197 kg, 0.0193 kg, 0.0161 kg, and 0.0151 kg. At this very instant, the x‑ and y‑components of the mice's velocities are, respectively, (0.219 m/s,−0.493 m/s)(, (−0.631 m/s,−0.925 m/s), (0.733 m/s,0.355 m/s), and (−0.489 m/s,0.905 m/s). Calculate the x‑ and y‑components of Bryce's mice's total momentum, px and py.
A Neptunium-237 nucleus, initially at rest, decays by emitting an alpha particle. The resulting nucleus is Protactinium-233 and travels to the right with a speed of 1,398 m/s. What is the speed of the alpha particle? The masses of each can be kept in atomic mass units. No need to convert to kilograms. The masses of the Neptunium, Protactinium, and alpha particle are 237, 233, and 4 respectively. Np 237 u v=? Pa 233 u 4 u Give speed, not velocity.
Two rocks collide in outer space. Before the collision, one rock had mass 12 kg and velocity ‹ 4300, −3000, 2550 › m/s. The other rock had mass 5 kg and velocity ‹ −500, 1900, 3600 › m/s. A 1 kg chunk of the first rock breaks off and sticks to the second rock. After the collision the 11 kg rock has velocity ‹ 1550, 250, 2000 › m/s. After the collision, what is the velocity of the other rock, whose mass is now 6 kg?

Three asteroids coated with cosmic slime are moving in the same plane when they collide and stick together. Initially, asteroid A has a mass of 2*107 kg and is moving to the right at a speed of 150 m/s, asteroid B has a mass of 3*107 kg and is moving at 50 m/s towards the lower left at an angle of 60 degrees with respect to asteroid A, while asteroid C has a mass of 5*107 kg and is moving with an unknown speed and angle. After the collision, the resulting single asteroid is moving toward the right at a speed of 50 m/s. Determine the speed and angle of asteroid C prior to the collision.
An astronaut floating at rest in space has run out of fuel in her jetpack. She realizes that throwing tools from her toolkit in the opposite direction will help propel her back toward the space station. If the astronaut has a mass of 85 kg and she throws a hammer of mass 4.5 kg at a speed of 4 m/s, what will be the approximate resultant velocity that carries her back to the space station?
MO-6 The Meteor Crater in Arizona is about 1,200m wide and 200m deep. It is believed to have been formed 20,000 years ago when a meteor with a mass of 5.0x10"kg moving at 7.2km/s collided and merged with the earth. If the earth had been at rest prior to the collision, what would the speed of the earth have been after this collision? The mass of the earth is 5.98x10"kg. 24
