A 0.20-kg rubber ball is dropped from the window of a building. It
strikes the sidewalk below at 30 m/s and rebounds at 20 m/s. The change
in momentum of the ball as a result of the collision with the sidewalk
is (in kg}
10.0
6.0
4.0
2.0
1.0
A man, standing at rest on a horizontal frictionless floor, might
get himself moving by:
walking
rolling
exhaling vertically
crawling slowly
throwing a shoe horizontally
A rifle of mass M is initially at rest but free to recoil. It fires
a bullet of mass m and velocity v (relative to the ground). After firing,
the velocity of the rifle (relative to the ground) is:
-mv
-Mv/m
-mv/M
-v
mv/M
Blocks A and B are moving toward each other along the x-axis. A has
a mass of 2.0 kg and a velocity of 50 m/s, while B has a mass of 4.0 kg
and a velocity of -25 m/s. They suffer an elastic collision and move off
along the x axis. The kinetic energy transferred from A to B during the
collision is:
0 J
2500 J
5000 J
7500 J
10000 J
