Linear Impulse and Momentum
1. A 0.5-kg particle is moving with a velocity
¥, =7+j+2k m/s at time r= Is. If the single
force F=($+31)i +(2-1°)7+3k N acts on
the particle, determine its velocity 7, at
b= 4s.
Ans, 161 297 +20k m/s
2. The 50-kg block is pulled up the rough incline
using the cable and motor arrangement shown.
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the
block and the surface is y= 0.4. If the block is
initially moving up the incline at 2 m/s, and at
this same instant the motor develops a tension
in the cable of T= (300 + 120/t ) N, where ris
in seconds, determine the speed of the block 2
seconds afterward. (Fall 2011, Midterm #2)

3. The 0.5-kg ball strikes the rough ground and
rebounds with the velocity shown, Determine
the magnitude of the impulse the ground exerts
on the ball. Assume that the ball does not slip
when it strikes the ground, and neglect the size
of the ball and the impulse produced by the
weight of the ball,
Ans, 12.2 N's

4. Two cars A and B have a mass of 2 Mg and
1.5 Mg, respectively. If the cars collide and
stick together while moving with a common
speed of 50 km/h in the direction shown,
determine the magnitudes of ¥, and ¥, just
before the collision.
Ans. 107.2 kin/h, 42.7 km/h
5. An 80,000 Ib truck 4 is traveling at 70 mph when
encounters a wood log B. The log B is traveling
at 12 mph in the opposite direction of the truck.
Assuming that the log does not significantly
damage the truck, and sticks to the truck, the truck
slows down by 2 mph on collision. If the same
log hits a small car C weighing 3000 Ib and
traveling at 70 mph, by how much would the car
slow down? Assume that the log does not
significantly damage the car, and sticks to the car.
