• A 3.0-kg object is moving forward with a speed of 6.0 m/s. The object
then encounters a force of 2.5 N for 8.0 seconds in the direction of its
motion. The object then collides head-on with a wall and heads in the
opposite direction with a speed of 5.0 m/s. Determine the impulse
delivered by the wall to the object.
• Which way would the system move?
• A 46-gram tennis ball is launched from a 1.35-kg homemade cannon.
If the cannon recoils with a speed of 2.1 m/s, determine the muzzle
speed of the tennis ball.
• How far away must a 19.6 N weight be placed on the left of a fulcrum
to balance a 9.8 N weight 0.4 meters on the right?
• 2.8-kg physics cart is moving forward with a speed of 45 cm/s. A 1.9-kg brick is dropped
from rest and lands on the cart. The cart and brick move together across the horizontal
surface. Assume an isolated system.

• a. Determine the post-collision speed of the cart and the brick.

• b. Determine the momentum change of the cart.

• c. Determine the momentum change of the brick.

• d. Determine the net impulse upon the cart.

• e. Determine the net impulse upon the system of cart and brick.
• What torque results from a 250 N force 30° from perpendicular on a
wrench 0.28 meters away from the bolt?
• In a physics lab, a 0.500-kg cart moving at 36.4 cm/s collides
inelastically with a second cart which is initially at rest. The two carts
move together with a speed of 21.8 cm/s after the collision. Determine
the mass of the second cart.
