Two cars are driving at 25 mph and
one of them hits a brick wall and
stops immediately. The other one
runs into a pile of old beanbag
chairs and slowly comes to a stop.
Which one has the greater impulse?
The one hitting the wall
The one hitting the beanbags
They both have the same impulse
To win a prize at the county fair, you're trying to knock down a heavy bowling pin by hitting it with a thrown object. Should you choose to throw a rubber ball or a beanbag of equal size and weight? Explain.
You are bowling with a 10-pound ball that you throw at 10 mph, and you’ve decided that you need to hit the pins with a ball that has more momentum. What are two possible changes you could make?

You roll your 0.1kg marble at 0.7m/s [East], and your friend throws their 0.6kg marble at 0.7m/s [West]. Your marble bounces back with a momentum of 0.17 kg*m/s [West].

To save the books, she quickly realized the only way was to swing down Tarzan style and grab the books, safely landing on a low cliffside on the other side with the books in hand. If she weighs 2.5 times the mass of this box of books, how high is the lower cliffside if she ends up with 0 final velocity at the top of the lower cliffside.arrow_forward

(Do you see why long-range cannons have such long barrels?)arrow_forwardYou want to estimate from how high if it is safe to jump onto a concrete floor. For this, you consider impulse and the force of impact.If you jump from a chair of height of 0.50 m, and land on a concrete floor with stiff legs, it just starts to hurt. Therefore, you consider the average force on your body in such a landing to be your ‘safe limit’. In this case, you estimate that your body moves by about 0.75 cm during the landing. If you allow yourself to bend your knees upon landing on the same concrete floor, you are able to mitigate the force of impact. You estimate that, when bending your knees during landing, your body moves by about a foot, or 0.30 m. For the purpose of this exercise, you consider yourself with a mass of 60 kg. Given the estimates made above, from how high can you safely jump onto a concrete flooarrow_forwardWhich has a larger magnitude of momentum: a 3000-kg elephant moving at 40 km/h or a 60-kg cheetah moving at 112 km/h?arrow_forward
