During a penalty kick, a soccer player kicks a 0.440
kg soccer ball at 29.0 m/s. At what speed must a
tennis player hit a 0.0580 kg tennis ball so the two

rules in order for your answer to have correct
number of significant figures.
The following question concerns a collision in outer space, far enough from any planets so that the external forces can be considered as negligible.
An unmanned spacecraft, having mass 1,500,000 kg and speed 25,000 km/hr collides with a small meteor, having mass 3,000 kg and speed 2,100 km/hr, in the Kuiper belt.
a. Prior to the collision, what are the total kinetic energy and total momentum?
b. Assuming a head-on collision, in which the meteor becomes lodged into the spacecraft’s body and the two objects move off together, what are the total kinetic energy and momentum after the collision?
c. If instead of getting lodged into the spacecraft, the meteor bounced off, would the change in the space craft’s momentum be larger or smaller, or is there not enough information to tell? Explain.

A spring of force constant k is attached to the back end of the second glider. As shown in Figure P8.48, the first glider, of mass m1, moves to the right with speed v1, and the second glider, of mass m2, moves more slowly to the right with speed v2.
