    1.

    (a) What is the magnitude of the momentum of a 10,000-kg truck whose

    speed is 12.0 m/s (b) What speed would a 2000-kg SUV have to attain in order to have (i)
    the same momentum? (ii) the same kinetic energy?

    2. In a certain men’s track and field event, the shotput has a mass of 7.30 kg

    and is released with a speed of 15 m/s at 40.0° above the horizontal over a man’s straight
    left leg. What are the initial horizontal and vertical components of the momentum of this
    shotput?

    3. The expanding gases that leave the muzzle of a rifle also contribute to the

    recoil. A .30-caliber bullet has mass 0.00720 kg and a speed of 601 m/s relative to the
    muzzle when fired from a rifle that has mass 2.80 kg. The loosely held rifle recoils at a
    speed of 1.85 m/s relative to the earth. Find the momentum of the propellant gases in a
    coordinate system attached to the earth as they leave the muzzle of the rifle.

    4. A 68.5-kg astronaut is doing a repair in space on the orbiting space station.

    She throws a 2.25-kg tool away from her at 3.20 m/s relative to the space station. With
    what speed and in what direction will she begin to move?
    5. Two skaters collide and grab on to each other on frictionless ice. One of

    them, of mass 70.0 kg, is moving to the right at 2.00 m/s, while the other, of mass 65.0
    kg, is moving to the left at 2.50 m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the velocity
    of these skaters just after they collide?

    6. A 15.0kg fish swimming at suddenly gobbles up a 4.50kg fish that is

    initially stationary. Neglect any drag effects of the water. (a) Find the speed of the large
    fish just after it eats the small one. (b) How much mechanical energy was dissipated
    during this meal?

    7. A 0.150-kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air

    track with a speed of It has a head-on collision with a 0.300-kg glider that is moving to
    the left with a speed of 2.20 m/s. Find the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of each
    glider if the collision is elastic.
