Problem Solving

1. A pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of

0.5 kg and a momentum of 10 kg-m/s. What is
its velocity?

2. A bowling ball whose mass is 8.0 kg is

rolling at a rate of 5.0 m/s. what is its impulse?

3. A skateboard is rolling at a velocity of 3.0 m/s with

a momentum of 6.0 kg-m/s. What is its mass?

4. Two ice skaters stand together. They “push off” and travel
directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of
+0.50 m/s and the girl with a velocity of -0.65 m/s. if the
mass of the boy is 60.0 kg, what is the girl’s mass?

5. A 3.0 x 102 g cart moves on an air track at 1.2 m/s. it collides

with the sticks to another cart of mass 5.0 x 102 g, which was
stationary before collision. What is the velocity of the
combined cart after collision?
