The document contains 5 problems involving momentum and impulse calculations. The problems include calculating the impulse gained by a car accelerating from rest, determining the velocity of a bullet and wood combination after collision, finding the velocity of an object after catching another object moving in the same direction, determining the size and velocity of one object after a chemical reaction breaks another object into two parts, and calculating the final velocity of a boy on a skateboard after throwing two rocks forward.

1 An 1800 kg car accelerates from rest at 3.6 ms–2 for 11 seconds. What impulse did it gain? .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. 2 A 0.006 kg bullet travelling at 360 ms–1 embeds itself in a stationary 5.2 kg block of wood. What is the combined velocity of the bullet-wood combination after the collision? .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. 3 A 4.0 kg object moving at 6.0 ms–1 catches a 3.0 kg object moving at 1.0 ms–1 in the same direction. After the collision the 4.0 kg object has slowed down to 4.0 ms–1. What is the velocity of the 3.0 kg object just after the collision? .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. 4 A 57 kg object at rest reacts chemically and breaks into two parts. A 34 kg piece moves at 1.2 ms–1 to the left. What is the size and velocity of the other piece? .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. 5 A 60.0 kg boy standing on a 5.0 kg skateboard is holding two identical rocks each of mass 3.0 kg. He throws them both in front of himself at the same time with a velocity of 4.0 ms–1 with respect to the skateboard. Determine the final velocity of the boy if friction is ignored. .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................. ..................................................................................................................................................................................
SkilMaria and Elena are preparing for a party. Maria realizes she forgot to fill the ice cube trays in order to
have ice for the punch. Elena says that she remembers reading somewhere that hot water freezes faster than
cold water. Maria is skeptical. She learned in her physics class that the hotter the liquid, the faster the
molecules are moving. Since hot water molecules have to slow down more than cold water molecules to
become ice, Maria thinks that it will take hot water longer to freeze than cold water.
The girls decide to conduct a scientific experiment to determine whether it is faster to make ice cubes with
hot water or cold water.l and Practice
