2. A student wants to use conservation of momentum to determine the mass, m, of an
unknown “Object 1” that can be placed on an air track. Describe such an experiment.
Assume that you have a device to measure velocity, an air track or frictionless surface
to eliminate friction, and another “Object 2” with known mass, M.

A certain carbon monoxide molecule consists of a carbon atom of mass mc = 14 u and an oxygen atom of mass mo = 18 u that are separated by a distance of d = 122 pm, where "u" is an atomic unit of mass. a. Write a symbolic equation for the location of the center of mass of the carbon monoxide molecule relative to the position of the oxygen atom. This expression should be in terms of the masses of the atoms and the distance between them. b. Calculate the numeric value for the center of mass of carbon monoxide in units of pm.
Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1400 kg and was approaching at 5.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 850 kg and was approaching at 16.0 m/s due west. a. Calculate the final velocity (magnitude in m/s and direction in degrees counterclockwise from the west) of the cars. (Note that since both cars have an initial velocity, you cannot use the equations for conservation of momentum along the x-axis and y-axis; instead, you must look for other simplifying aspects.) magnitude m/sdirection ° counterclockwise from west b. How much kinetic energy (in J) is lost in the collision? (This energy goes into deformation of the cars.) J

Alex Morgan, one of America's best forwards, kicks a 450. g soccer ball that was moving towards her at a speed of 12.0m/s, the impact caused the ball to leave her foot with a velocity of 20.0 m/s in the opposite direction. a. If the impact lasted for 0.250s, what force (magnitude and direction) did Alex exert on the soccer ball? b. What is one thing that she could do to make the soccer ball have a larger change in momentum?
