    Uploaded by

    Melissa April Plummer
    This document provides instructions and problems for homework set 5 on 1D momentum and energy. Students are asked to draw pictorial representations of physics problems and derive the relevant equations. They must show their understanding of how the equations are derived from the pictures. The homework set involves energy charts, bar charts, and momentum charts covering topics like a ball dropping, a toy walking, an object on a spring, a truck's motion, ice blocks colliding, cars colliding, a rocket car with thrust, asteroids colliding, and an exploding egg.

    Homework Set 5: 1D Momentum & Energy


    For all problems, begin with large pictorial representations and then write down the mathematical
    representation from the picture. Do not begin by writing down an equation. It is essential for your
    problem-solving process that you understand completely how & why the equations can be derived from
    the picture(s) you draw.
    Bar Charts
    Energy Charts
    A ball is held above the ground, and then is dropped so it falls straight down.
    (Restrict your analysis to the ball moving in the air, BEFORE it hits the ground.)

    A wind-up toy is wound up, then "walks" across a table and comes to a stop.

    An object rests on a coiled spring, and is then launched upwards.

    A truck is driven at constant speed down the street.

    Momentum Charts
    A 20 kg block of ice slides along an icy surface then collides and sticks to a 40 kg chunk of ice
    that was initially stationary. The 20 kg block was initially moving at 6 m/s.
    A 1200 kg car travels west at 20 m/s and collides head-on with an 800 kg Prius moving
    eastward at 5 m/s. The cars collide and stick together.
    A 10 kg model rocket car moves at 4 m/s as the second rocket stage begins to fire. The rocket
    fires for 3 s and exerts 10 N of thrust on the car.
    The two asteroids remain joined together after the collision.
