1. An 85 kg Mock runs at 10 mph. What's his momentum?
2. A 1000 kg car comes to a stop from 60 mph and .004 seconds. What is the force felt during the crash?
3. Is it better for the car from #2 to come to a stop or to bounce backward away from the wall? (justify your answer)
4. Two identical cars mounted on a track bump into each other. Their speeds are +4 meters per second and -6 meters per second. After the collision, the +4 car is now going at -4 meters per second. What is the other car doing?
5. Two chunks of clay slide along a frictionless surface and collide at 90 degrees. If their speeds are the same and one chunk is 3 times heavier than the other chunk, at what angle does the combined mass move? (give answer in degrees from original path of heavier chunk).
6. If a 50 kg rocket is launched and burns 2 kg of fuel per second, what is its initial acceleration?
7. If I am can currently hold up a maximum of 40 pounds as shown, then how many pounds could I hold up if my bicep were instead attached at point B?
8. Billy Joe Bob is a big boy. He sits on a seesaw, halfway between the fulcrum and the end of board. Where does his friend Ed (who is only 3/4 of Bob's weight) have to sit on his side to balance Bob?
9. E.C. A metal bullet and a rubber bullet are shot at a wooden block. Tell which one is more likely to knock the block over and why.
Good luck students! From Shawn :)
