If the impulse acting on two objects is the same then

• the mass of both objects is the same

• the change in velocity of both objects is the same

• the change in momentum of both objects is the same

• the amount of contact time is the same

• the force exerted on both objects is the same

OPEN ENDED QUESTION:

Trevor passes a 0.625 kg basketball to a teammate at 6.1 m/s. It collides with the referee's 0.095 kg toupee moving at 1.4 m/s. After the collision the ball continues forward at 5.1 m/s. Find the velocity of the referee's toupe.

• 1) M₁V₁+M₂V₂=M₁V_1F+M₂V_2F

• 2) (0.625 x 6.1)+ (0.095 x 1.4) = (0.625 x 5.1) + (.095V_2F)

• 3) 3.95 = 3.19 + (.095V_2F)

• 4) .76 = (.095V_2F)

• 5) V_2F = 8 m/s

A 65 kg student on her skateboard is at the bottom of a small hill at which time she has a momentum of 215 kg *m/s.

What is her velocity?

• 1) F x T = m(Vf- Vi)

• 2) 215 = 65 (Vf)

• 3) Vf= 3.3 m/s

A 10 kg rock at rest is broken into two pieces after an explosion. If a 4.0 kg part moves to the right at 21 m/s, find the velocity of the second piece.

• 1) M1V1 + M2V2 = M1V1F + M2V2F

• 2) 4 (0) + 6 (0) = 4 (21) + 6 (Vf)

• 3) 0= 84 + 6Vf

• 4) -84= 6Vf

• 5) Vf= -14 m/s
