Substitute known quantities and solve for the unknown quantity. We substitute the known values into the conservation of momentum equation MV; + mv, = MVf+ mvf to obtain (70.5 kg)(0 m/s) + (1.45 kg)(1.95 m/s) = (70.5 kg)Vf + (1.45 kg)Vp. Because v, = Va this further simplifies to (70.5 kg)(0 m/s) + (1.45 kg)(1.95 m/s) = (1.45 kg + 70.5 kg)Vf What is the velocity of the astronaut after the collision? m/s

Nuclear Fusion Reaction In a human-scale model of a nuclear fusion reaction, two "deuterons" smash together head-on. Each has a mass of 2.0147kg and is moving at speed vd. The result is a "Helium-3 nucleus" (mass 3.0160kg) and a separate "neutron" (mass 1.0090kg). Amazingly, this reaction produces a positive Wnc of 3.96 × 10 14 J -- by converting mass into kinetic energy as predicted by Einstein's E mc² = The "neutron" moves with a speed of un after the reaction.

The mass of a regulation tennis ball is 57 g (although it can vary slightly), and tests have shown that the ball is in contact with the tennis racket for 30 ms.(This number can also vary, depending on the racket and swing.) We shall assume a 30.0 ms contact time. One of the fastest-known served tennis balls was served by “Big Bill” Tilden in 1931, and its speed was measured to be 73 m/s. Suppose that the positive direction of the x-axis is along the direction of motion of the ball after Big Bill's hit. What is the x-component of the force exerted by Big Bill on the tennis ball in his record serve? If Big Bill's opponent returned his serve with a speed of 55 m/s what is the x-component of the force he exerted on the ball, assuming only horizontal motion?
It is generally a good idea to gain an understanding of the "size" of units. Consider the objects listed and calculate the magnitude of their momentum in SI units.
