PRACTICE PROBLEMS:
MOMENTUM

1. Calculate the momentum of a 0.15 kg ball that is moving toward home plate at
a velocity of 40m/s.

2. Which has greater momentum, a 2.0kg hockey puck moving east at 2.5m/s or
a 1.3kg hockey puck moving south at 3.0m/s?

3. A track athlete throws a 2kg discus into a field with a velocity of 21m/s.
What is the momentum of the discus?

4. Calculate the momentum of a 700g ball that is rolling down a ramp at 4.6m/s.

5. A cannon fires a 40.5kg shell toward a target and the shell moves with a
velocity of 120m/s. Calculate the shell's momentum.

PRACTICE PROBLEMS:
POWER
1. A set of pulleys lifts a piano and does 3,356 joules of work. If the piano is
lifted in 75 seconds, how much power is used?

2. How much work is done in order to cook a bag of popcorn in a 500 watt
microwave oven for 5.5 minutes?

3. What is the power of an electric toothbrush if it can do 755.8 joules of work

in 75 seconds?

4. Sara and Josh do the exact same amount of work. Sara does the work in 2.3
hours and Josh does it in 2.5 hours. Who is more powerful? Explain.

5. A dock worker lifts a 375N crate a distance of 0.5m over his head in 2.3
seconds. What is his power output?

PRACTICE PROBLEMS:
WORK
1. Calculate the amount of work done when moving a 567N crate a distance of
20 meters.

2. A fallen tree is lifted 2.75 meters. How much work is done?

3. If it took a bulldozer 567.6 joules of work to push a mound of dirt 30.5

meters, how much force did the bulldozer have to apply?

4. A frontend loader needed to apply 137 N of force to lift a rock. A total of

223 joules of work was done. How far was the rock lifted?

5. A young boy applied a force of 2,550 N on his St. Bernard dog who is sitting
on the boy's tennis shoes. He was unable to move the dog. How much work did
he do trying to push the dog?

PRACTICE PROBLEMS:
FORCE
1. If a 4500 kg car is traveling westward with an acceleration of 35.2 m/s2,
what is the force acting on it?

2. I am a roller skater with a mass of 72kg. If I am accelerating toward a wall at

3.7m/s2, what will be the amount of force at which I hit the wall?

3. A dock worker needs to stop a box of goods that is rolling across a manual
conveyer belt. The box has a mass of 8.35kg and is accelerating at .75m/s2.
How much force will he need to apply to the box in order to stop it?

4. How much force must be applied to move a 55kg ice skater to an

acceleration of 12.5m/s2?

5. How much force must be applied to a toy car that has a mass of .25kg to
achieve an acceleration of 2.4m/s2?
