1. An 8 N force acts on a 5 kg object for 3 sec. What impulse is given to the object? If the
impulse = Δp
5 m/s, right
-2 m/s
78.26 m/s
21.67 m/s up
6.67 m/s
100 sec

30 m/s
Example 1:
A 1.0 kg cart (cart #1) moving at 3 m/s right, collides but doesn’t stick to a stationary 2.0 kg
cart (cart #2), resulting in both carts moving separately. Cart #1 has a final velocity of 0.50
m/s left. What is cart #2’s velocity?
Example 2:
A 1.0 kg cart (cart #1) moving at 2.0 m/s right collides and sticks (this called an inelastic
collision) to a cart (cart #2) of the same mass moving at 1.0 m/s left, resulting in both carts
moving together. What is their velocity? be careful with your sign choice
