Momentum Calculations

Momentum

(excellence) The black ball is initially stationary. Both balls are 0.50 kg. From the diagram, can you calculate the white ball’s initial velocity? (enter answer next slide)

Multiple Choice

The white ball's v_i is :

• 3.2 ms^-1 to the right

• 3.0 ms^-1 to the right

• 2.8 ms^-1 to the right

• 3.5 ms^-1 to the right

Multiple Choice

Calculate the momentum change when a 0.50 kg ball moving at 8.5 ms^-1 is stopped by a goalie.

• 4.25 kgms^-1

• 4.25 kgms^-1 opposite to initial momentum

• 4.25 kgms^-1 same direction as initial momentum
