You throw a ball with a mass of 0.40 kg against a brick wall. It hits the wall moving horizontally to the left at
30 m/s and rebounds horizontally to the right at 20m/s.

1. Calculate the momentum of a ball before and after collision.


2. Find the impulse of the net force on the ball during its collision with the wall.
3. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.010 s, find the average horizontal force that the wall exerts on the
ball during the impact.

A marksman holds a rifle of mass 3.00 kg loosely, so it can recoil freely. He


fires a bullet of mass 5 g horizontally with a velocity relative to the ground
of 300 m/s.

What is the recoil velocity of the rifle? What are the final momentum and
kinetic energy of the bullet and rifle? Is the explosion an elastic or inelastic?

Two gliders with different masses


move toward each other on a
frictionless air track as shown below.
After they collide, glider B has a final
velocity of +2.0 m/s. What is the final
velocity of A? Determine the
coefficient of restitution and type of
collision.

From the previous problem, the collision of gliders are repeated but
this time equip the gliders so that they stick together when they
collide. Find the common velocity and coefficient of restitution.
