Question
The change in momentum for the plate in this situation is fixed—1.125 kg m/s (your answer
to question 10). The force of impact is very large, thereby breaking the plate. If the time
were larger than 0.00024 s, would the force of impact be larger or smaller than your answer
to question 11.

Transcribed Image Text:10. A plate with a mass of 0.375 kg is dropped and has a speed of 3 m/s when it suddenly hits the
hard kitchen floor. Calculate the change in momentum. (Note: the final speed of the plate is,
of course, zero when it hits the floor.)
11. Consider the plate from the previous question. The floor provided an impact force that acted
on the plate. It acted on the plate very suddenly-it was a mere fraction of a second. If the
force acted on the plate for 0.00024 s, calculate the force of impact.

the force of impact.
increase of decrease?
14. Consider again the plate in questions 10 and 11. If the plate hits a pillow instead of the floor
it might not break. This question will examine the physics that explains why the plate may
not break.
