When there is motion is both directions, state which direction is positive at the START of the problem. For the impulse-momentum and the conservation of momentum problems: Plug your GIVEN VALUES into the equation FIRST then do the algebra. Use the following equations: F t = m vf -m vi m1 vi1 + m2 vi2 = m1 vf1 + m2 vf2 m1 vi1 + m2 vi2 = (m1 + m2) vf (m1 + m2) Vi = m1 vf1 + m2 vf2 5. ) A mass of 10.00 kg is rolling across a frictionless surface at 6.00 m/s to the right. The first mass strikes a 5.00 kg mass that is initally at rest. After the collision the larger mass object is traveling at 2.00 m/s to the left. a. ) what is the velocity and dirction of travel for the lighter mass object? Show conversions step by step, if any.

For the impulse-momentum and the conservation of momentum problems: Plug your GIVEN VALUES into the equation FIRST then do the algebra. Use the following equations:
F t = m vf -m vi
m1 vi1 + m2 vi2 = m1 vf1 + m2 vf2
m1 vi1 + m2 vi2 = (m1 + m2) vf
(m1 + m2) Vi = m1 vf1 + m2 vf2
