The engine of an unpowered toy train is rolling at a constant speed on a level track, as shown in Fig. 3.1. The engine collides with a stationary toy truck, and joins with it. moving engine stationary truck track Fig. 3.1 Before the collision, the toy engine is travelling at 0.32 m/ s. The mass of the engine is 0.50 kg. (a) Calculate the momentum of the toy engine before the collision. (b) The mass of the truck is 0.30kg. Using the principle of conservation of momentum, calculate the speed of the joined engine and truck immediately after the collision.

How much time did it take them to stop?
ANSWERS must be in 3 decimal places A 50 kg mass is sitting on a frictionless surface. An unknown constant force pushes the mass for 2 seconds until the mass reaches a velocity of 3 m/s. 1. What was the impulse acting on the mass? 2. What is the final momentum of the mass? 3. What was the force acting on the mass?

A tennis ball traveling at 12 m/s was approaching the tennis player's racket. The ball was hit back with a speed of 38 m/s in the opposite direction from where it came. 1. Compute the change in the momentum of the ball. 2. Suppose the mass of the tennis ball is 57 g. If it came in contact with the racket for 0.03 second, what is the average force exerted on the ball?
