EXERCISE NO.8
Impulse and Momentum
1. A 1200-lb automobile is moving at a speed of 90 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, causing all four wheels to skid.
Determine the time required to stop the automobile (a) on dry pavement (0.75), (b) on an icy road (k 0.10).

2. Two steel blocks are sliding on a frictionless horizontal surface with the velocities shown. Knowing that after impact the velocity of
B is observed to be10.5 ft/s to the right, determine the coefficient of restitution between the two blocks.

3.A 600-g ball A is moving with a velocity
of magnitude 6 m/s when it is hit as shown
by a 1-kg ball B, which has a velocity of
magnitude 4 m/s.Knowing that the
coefficient of restitution is 0.8 and
assuming no friction, determine the
velocity of each ball after impact.

6. Two cars A and B have a mass of 2Mg
and 1.5 Mg, respectively. Determine the
magnitude of vA and vB if the cars collide
and stick together while moving with a
common speed of 50 km/h in the direction
shown.
7. A man wearing ice skates throws an 8kg
block with an initial velocity of 2m/s,
measured relative to himself, in the
direction shown. If he is originally at rest
and completes the throw in 1.5 s while
keeping his legs rigid, determine the
horizontal velocity of the man just after
releasing the block. What is the vertical
reaction of both his skates on the ice
during the throw? The man has a mass of
70kg. Neglect friction and the motion of
his arms.
8.A 1.5-kg block B is attached to an undeformed spring of constant k = 80 N/m and is
resting on a horizontal surface when it is struck by an identical block A moving at a speed
of 5 m/s. Assuming the impact to be perfectly elastic (e = 1) and knowing the coefficients
of friction between the blocks and the horizontal surface: mk = 0.3 and ms = 0.5, determine
(a) velocities of blocks A and B just after the first impact (b) maximum deflection of the
spring, (c) velocity of B just before the second impact with A on its return back to the
equilibrium position (d) velocity of A and B after the second impact (e = 1) (e) final
positions of blocks A and B from the initial impact position.
