Physics students are studying momentum. Using a 3-kg box, they record the applied force at several equally spaced positions as the box is pushed from rest across a horizontal surface. The students create the graph shown below with force on the y-axis in newtons (N) and position on the x-axis in meters (m). Friction between the box and the surface is negligible. 12 6 Force(N) 0 0 Position (m) 6 According to the data, the change in momentum of the box is most nearly 3 kg. m/s 14 kg - m/s 21 kg. m/s 72 kg - m/s

You are playing a game and you push a cart to give it in. speed. The cart starts at the bottom (zero) of a ramp and after reaching the top of the ramp, the cart travels across a horizontal track w/ friction. The mass of the cart is 44 x 10^-3 kg. The ramp is 56 cm high. The length is 70 cm. What can you infer of the intial speed in (m/s)
A desperate hiker has to think fast to help his friend who has fallen below him. Quickly, he ties a rope to a rock of mA = 405 kg and makes his way over the ledge (see the figure below). If the coefficient of static friction between the rock and the ground is H=0.348, and the mass of the hiker is ma= 70.1 kg, what is the maximum mass of the friend, mc, that the rock can hold so the hikers can then make their way up over the ledge? Assume the rope is parallel to the ground and the point where the rope passes over the ledge is frictionless. (ANS: 70.8 kg)
