SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS
CHECK YOUR ANSWERS:

1. p = mv
= (34.5 kg)(4.8m/s)
= 165.6 kgm/s or 165.6 N.s

2. m= p / v
= 3.5 kg m/s
7.5 m/s
= 0.47 kg

3. v= p/m
= 143 kg m/s
450 kg
= 0.32 m/s

4. p= mv
=(45 kg) (45 m / 9s)
=(45 kg) (5 m/s)
= 9 kg m/s

5. Mio motorcycle
p=mv
= (125 kg)(9 m/s)
= 1125 kg m/s

Sniper motorcycle
p = mv
= (175 kg)(4.5 m/s)
= 787.5 kgm/s

6. Partas Bus Car

m=p/v m=p/v
= 12.2 kg m/s = 12.2 kg m/s
4.8 m/s 5.4 m/s
= 2.54 kg = 2.36 kg

7. a. p = mv
= (325kg )(140 km/h)
= 45,500 kg km/h

B. v = p / m
= 45,500 kg km/h
1754 kg
= 25.94 km/h
8. Δp = mΔv
17.24 kgm/s = m (3.8 - 2.5 m/s)
17. 24 kgm/s = m (1.3 m/s)
m = 17.24 kgm/s
1.3 m/s
m = 13.26 kg

9. Δp = I
Δmv = Ft
F=mv/t
= (3500 kg) (14 m/s)
1.5 s
= 32,666,67 N

10. Δmv = Ft
t = Δmv / F
= (45 kg) (10m/s)
140 N
= 3.21 s

11. m1v1 = m2v2

total initial p = total final p
total initial p = 0
0 = m1v1 + m2v2
- m1v1 = m2v2
-(50 kg) v1 = (60 kg)(3m/s)
-50 kg -50kg

v1 = -3.6 m/s away from the boy

12. m1v1 = m2v2

total initial p = total final p
total initial p = 0
0 = m1v1 + m2v2
- m1v1 = m2v2
-(65kg) v1 = (70 kg)(-4m/s)
- 65 kg -65kg

V1 = -5.19 m/s away from the girl

13. m1v1 = m2v2
total initial p = total final p
total initial p = 0
0 = m1v1 + m2v2
- m1v1 = m2v2
m1(-4.5m/s) = (70kg)(-4m/s)
-4.5 m/s -4.5 m/s

m1 = 62.22 kg

14.
Before After
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1 + m2v2
mT (15 m/s + 4.5 m/s) = (145 kg)(5m/s) + (0) (4.5m/s)
mT (9.5 m/s) = 725 kg m/s
9.5 m/s 9.5m/s
mT = 76.32 kg

15.
Before After
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1 + m2v2
(400 kg)(6m/s) + (425kg)(0) = (400kg+425kg) vT
(2400 kg m/s) = (825 kg) vT
825 kg 825 kg
vT = 2.91 m/s

16.
Before After
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1 + m2v2
(48 kg)(2.5m/s) + (0)(3ms/) = mT (5.5 m/s)
120 kg m/s = mT (5.5 m/s)
5.5 m/s 5.5m/s
mT = 21.82m/s
