NAME: SECTION:
Solve the following problems:
1. A delivery truck carrying 75 cavans of rice is traveling at 10.0 m/s. The mass of the truck and one cavan
of rice are 3000 kg and 50 kg, respectively. The driver of the truck has a mass of 85 kg. (a) What is the
magnitude of the momentum of the truck with the driver and the cavans of rice? (b) At a certain grocery, the
driver unloaded eight cavans. What is the new momentum of the truck with the driver and the cavans of rice
if the driver maintains the same speed?
2. A school bus carrying 20 students has a mass of 2500 kg and moves with a speed of 4.25 m/s. The driver
has a mass of 75.0 kg. (a) What is the magnitude of the momentum of the bus and its passengers if the
average mass of each student is 125 kg? (b) If eight students get off from the bus, what must be the speed of
the bus to maintain its original momentum?
3. What is the momentum of a system of two particles with these respective masses and velocities: 75 kg
moving north at 5.6 m/s and 4.2 kg moving northwest at 2.3 m/s?
