A plastic cart and a lead cart can both roll without friction on a horizontal surface. Equal forces are used to push both carts forward for a time of , starting from rest. After the force is removed at , is the momentum of the plastic cart greater than, less than, or equal to the momentum of the lead cart? Explain.
A 20 kg wood ball hangs from a 2.0-m-long wire. The maximum tension the wire can withstand without breaking is 400 N. A 1.0 kg projectile traveling horizontally hits and embeds itself in the wood ball. What is the greatest speed this projectile can have without causing the wire to break?
A 2100 kg truck is traveling east through an intersection at 2.0 m/s when it is hit simultaneously from the side and the rear. (Some people have all the luck!) One car is a 1200 kg compact traveling north at 5.0 m/s. The other is a 1500 kg midsize traveling east at 10 m/s. The three vehicles become entangled and slide as one body. What are their speed and direction just after the collision?
A proton is traveling to the right at . It has a head on perfectly elastic collision with a carbon atom. The mass of the carbon atom is times the mass of the proton. What are the speed and direction of each after the collision?
