1. An object travels with a velocity 4m/s to the east.

Then, its direction of motion and

magnitude of velocity are changed. Picture given below shows the directions and
magnitudes of velocities. Find the impulse given to this object.

I=F.t=p=m.V
where V=V2-V1=-3-4=-7m/s
I=m.V=3.(-7)=-21kg.m/s
2. Ball having mass 4kg and velocity 8m/s travels to the east. Impulse given at point O,
makes it change direction to north with velocity 6m/s. Find the given impulse and
change in the momentum.

Initial and final momentum vectors of ball are shown in the figure below.

P1=m.V1=4kg.8m/s=32kg.m/s
P2=m.V2=4kg.6m/s=24kg.m/s
P=P2+P1 (vector addition)
P2=P22+P12=m2(v22+v12)
P2=16.100
P=40kg.m/s

Impulse=change in momentum
I=P=40kg.m/s
3. Find the impulse and force which make 12m/s change in the velocity of object having
16kg mass in 4 s.
F.t=P=m.V
F.4s=16kg.12m/s
F=48N
F.t=Impulse=192kg.m/s
4. Applied force vs. time graph of object is given below. Find the impulse of the object
between 0-10s.

Area under the force vs. time graph gives us impulse.

F.t=20.2/2+20.(6-2)+20.(10-6)/2
F.t=140kg.m/s
5. A ball having mass 500g hits wall with a10m/s velocity. Wall applies 4000 N force to
the ball and it turns back with 8m/s velocity. Find the time of ball-wall contact.
F.t=P=m.V=m.(V2-V1)
-4000.t=0,5kg.(8-10)
t=0,00025s

Impulse Momentum Exam2 and Problem Solutions

1. Objects shown in the figure collide and stick and move together. Find final velocity
objects.

Using conservation of momentum law;

m1.V1+m2.V2=(m1+m2).Vfinal
3.8+4.10=7.Vfinal
64=7.Vfinal
Vfinal=9,14m/s
2. 2kg and 3kg objects slide together, and then they break apart. If the final velocity of
m2 is 10 m/s,
a) Find the velocity of object m1.
b) Find the total change in the kinetic energies of the objects.

a)
Using

5.4=30+2.V1
V1=-5m/s

conservation

of

momentum

law;

b) EKinitial=1/2/m1+m2).V2
EKinitial=1/2.5.16=40joule
EKfinal=1/2.2.52+1/2.3.102
EKfinal=175 joule
Change in the kinetic energy is =175-40=135 joule

3. As shown in the figure below, object m 1 collides stationary object m 2. Find the
magnitudes of velocities of the objects after collision. (elastic collision)

In elastic collisions we find velocities of objects after collision with following formulas;
V1'=(m1-m2)/(m1+m2).V1
V2'=(2m1/m1+m2).V1
m1=6kg, m2=4kg, V1=10m/s
V1'=(6-4/6+4).10=2m/s
V2'=(2.6/6+4).10=12m/s
4. Momentum vs. time graph of object is given below. Find forces applied on object for
each interval.

F.t=P
F=P/t
Slope of the graph gives us applied force.
I. Interval:
F1=P2-P1/10-0=-50/10=-5N
II. Interval:
F2=50-50/10=0
III. Interval:
F3=100-50/10=5N
5. A box having mass 0,5kg is placed in front of a 20 cm compressed spring. When the
spring released, box having mass m 1, collide box having mass m 2 and they move
together. Find the velocity of boxes.

Energy stored in the spring is transferred to the object m 1.
