1. What does it
mean to say that
momentum is
conserved?
The total momentum
of a system does not
change unless acted
upon by an
unbalanced force.
2. A rubber ball with a mass of
0.10 kg moves at 20 m/s. It hits
a brick wall and rebounds at a
speed of 15 m/s in the opposite
direction. What is the change in
momentum of the ball?
p = mv
p = 0.10 kg x (20 m/s + 15 m/s)
p = 3.5 kgm/s
3. How is the
momentum of a
running child affected
when he runs into a
stone wall and stops?
The child’s
momentum
decreases to zero.
4. How are
impulse and
momentum
related?
Impulse is equal
to the change in
momentum.
Ft = Dmv
5. A 40.0 kg boy and a
30.0 kg girl are each floating
on inflatable swimming pool
mats. The girl pushes the
boy, who moves away at a
speed of 3.0 m/s. What is
the girl's speed?
Dmv = Dmv
40 kg x 3 m/s = 30 kg x v
120 kgm/s = 30 kg x v
v = 4 m/s
