Sven hits a baseball (m = 0.15 kg). He applies an average force of 50.0 N. The ball had an initial velocity of 35.0 m/s to the right and a final velocity of 40.0 m/s to the left as viewed by a fan in the stands. a. What is the impulse delivered by Svens bat to the baseball? b. How long is his bat in contact with the ball?
One object (m1 = 0.200 kg) is moving to the right with a speed of 2.00 m/s when it is struck from behind by another object (m2 = 0.300 kg) that is moving to the right at 6.00 m/s. If friction is negligible and the collision between these objects is elastic, find the final velocity of each.
The space shuttle uses its thrusters with an exhaust velocity of 4440 m/s. The shuttle is initially at rest in space and accelerates to a final speed of 1.00 km/s. a.

Determine the speed of piece C and the direction of its velocity relative to the direction of piece A.
In an experiment designed to determine the velocity of a bullet fired by a certain gun, a wooden block of mass M = 500.0 g is supported only by its edges, and a bullet of mass m = 8.00 g is fired vertically upward into the block from close range below. After the bullet embeds itself in the block, the block and the bullet are measured to rise to a maximum height of 25.0 cm above the blocks original position. What is the speed of the bullet just before impact?
