A pitcher claims he can throw a 0.143-kg baseball with as much momentum as a 3.34-g bullet moving with a speed of 1.50 ✕ 103 m/s. (a) What must the baseball's speed be if the pitcher's claim is valid? ___m/s(b) Which has greater kinetic energy, the ball or the bullet? The ball has greater kinetic energy. Both have the same kinetic energy. The bullet has greater kinetic energy.
A rocket-powered sled sits on a frozen lake bed. The sled has a mass of 210 kg, and the combusting rocket fuel has a mass of 8 kg. In a simplified analysis, we assume that as a result of combustion, the rocket fuel is fired backward at a speed of 160 m/s. What final speed does the sled achieve?
A lumberjack is standing on a log floating on a lake. She starts from rest, then runs along the log to the end, when she jumps from the first log onto a second. After landing safely on the second log, she slows down and ends up standing on the second log. Both logs both have masses of 150 kg each and the mass of the lumberjack is 70 kg. The lumberjack reaches a speed of 7.0 m/s relative to the shore during her jump. What is the speed of the lumberjack after she has stopped on the second log? You may assume the drag of the water on the logs is very small. Please answer in units of m/s.
A 2.76-kg steel ball strikes a massive wall at 10.0 m/s at an angle of θ = 60.0° with the plane of the wall. It bounces off the wall with the same speed and angle (see the figure below). If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.176 s, what is the average force exerted by the wall on the ball?
An ice skater with a mass of 48.0 kg is gliding across a smooth lake with a speed of 2.85 m/s when she hits a spot of ice covered with snow. After a time of 7.75 s she has slowed to a stop. Using your knowledge of momentum, determine the magnitude of the average force of friction acting on the ice skater while she slows to a stop.
A rock (rock 1) is flying in the sky towards another rock, rock 2. Rock 1 has a mass of 60 kg, and Rock 2 has a mass of 10 kg. Rock 1 is in the sky with a speed of 25 m/s towards Rock 2, and rock 2 is movingtowards Rock 1 in the opposite direction with a speed of 35 m/s. If the two rocks stick together, what is their final velocity? Ignore air resistance and gravity. Is there a change in the kinetic energy of the system? If so, what is it?
A lumberjack is standing on a log floating on a lake. She starts from rest, then runs along the log to the end, when she jumps from the first log onto a second. After landing safely on the second log, she slows down and ends up standing on the second log. Both logs both have masses of 150 kg each and the mass of the lumberjack is 70 kg. The lumberjack reaches a speed of 7.0 m/s relative to the shore during her jump. What are the speeds of the two logs and of the lumberjack after she has stopped on the second log? You may assume the drag of the water on the logs is very small.

A 1.5x105 kg barge is floating downriver in a fog with a velocity of i = m/s when it collides with a second barge with a mass of 3.0x105 kg heading across the river with a velocity of i = m/s. Immediately after impact, the second barge is headed 20° downriver with a speed of 4.5 m/s. Assume the current is negligible in this part of the river. a. What is the velocity of the second barge immediately after impact (in vector form)? b. Use conservation of momentum to find the velocity of the first barge immediately after impact (in vector form)? c. Was the collision elastic? If not, what was the change in kinetic energy? 20 Downriver
