You hang from a tree branch, and then let go and fall toward the Earth. As you fall, the y-component ofyour momentum, which was originally zero, becomes large and negative.a. Choose yourself as the system. There must be an object in the surroundings whose y-momentummust become equally large and positive. What object is this?b.Choose yourself and the Earth as the system. The y-component of your momentum is changing.Does the total momentum of the system change? Why or why not?

A 0.13 kg baseball has a momentum of p = 11 kg*m/s as it is pitched toward home plate. A 4.2 kg bat swings at the baseball with a momentum of 28 kg*m/s and is in contact with the ball for 0.06 s. Assume the batter doesn't follow through like they should but instead the bat is at rest immediately after being in contact with the baseball (like bunting it). a.How much force was on the baseball when the bat was striking it? b.How much work was done on the baseball by the bat?

You drop a steel ball and a clay ball, both of the same mass, from the same distance. The steel ball strikes the ground and rebounds with almost the same speed. The clay ball strikes the ground and sticks. Assume the collisions occur over roughly the same amount of time. Which ball exerted a greater force on the ground? Select the correct answer with the best explanation. A. The two exert the same force. Since they collide with the same initial momentum, they will exert thesame force.B. The clay ball exerts the greater force. Since it starts with some momentum and ends with no momen- tum, it undergoes a greater change in momentum than the steel ball, which rebounds with the same momentum (no change).C. The clay ball exerts the greater force. All of its energy is transferred to the floor, whereas the steelball rebounds with the same kinetic energy, doing no work on the floor.D. The steel ball exerts the greater force. Since it starts with some momentum and it reverses the direction of…
The ballistic pendulum is a device to measure the speed of a bullet using conservation of energy and momentum. A 20 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 1.1 kg wood block hanging from a 1.2-m-long string. The bullet embeds itself into the block, and the block then swings out to an angle of 35°. A. How high does the block of wood go relative to its initial height when its hanging straight down? B. What is the increase in gravitational potential energy of the wood block at its maximum height? C. Use conservation of energy to determine the speed of the block just after the bullet strikes it. D. Use conservation of momentum to determine the speed of the bullet right before it strikes the block.
