Chapter 6 Linear Momentum and Collisions
14. (a) The magnitude of the total momentum of the two-proton system will be . Momentum is a vector quantity.
When two momenta are opposite, the magnitude of the addition of the two momenta is equal to the difference of
the magnitudes of the two momenta.

If P = p 1 + p 2 and p 1 and p 2 are opposite, then P = p1 + (p2) = p1 p2.
(b) Since they approach each other, v1 = 340 m/s and v2 = 450 m/s.
. P = p1 + p2 = 350 kgm/s. It can be either positive or negative because the Exercise does not specify the direction
of the momentum.
350 kgm/s = (70 kg)(2.0 m/s) + (60 kg)v2, v2 = +3.5 m/s or 8.2 m/s.
17. px = mvx = (0.20 kg)[(15 m/s) sin 60 (15 m/s) sin 60] = 0,
py = mvy = (0.20 kg)[(15 m/s) cos 60 (15 m/s) cos 60] = 3.0 kg·m/s.

So p = .
18. px = mvx = (0.20 kg)[(10 m/s) sin 50 (15 m/s) sin 60] = 1.1 kg·m/s,
py = mvy = (0.20 kg)[(10 m/s) cos 50 (15 m/s) cos 60] = 2.8 kg·m/s.

21. First calculate the speed of the ball hitting the ground.
v2 = vo2 2 gy = (0)2 2(9.80 m/s2)(15 m) = 294 m2/s2, so v = 17.1 m/s.

24. (a) The final velocity is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the initial velocity.
p = mv = m(v vo) = m(vo vo) = 2mvo = 2(120 lb) (4.50 m/s)

(b) , there would be a difference.
v2 = v\s\up4(2) 2gy = (4.50 m/s)2 2(9.80 m/s2)(0.300 m) = 26.13 m2/s2, v = 5.11 m/s.
25. (a) From either kinematics (Chapter 2) or the conservation of energy (Chapter 5), the velocity of the ball right
before hitting the floor is vo = = = 6.261 m/s.
The velocity of the ball right after the impact is vo = = 4.200 m/s.
p = mv = m(v vo) = (0.200 kg)[4.200 m/s (6.261 m/s)] =.
(b) Favg = = = = 22.0 N.
The floor also needs to support the weight of the ball during impact.
w = mg = (0.200 kg)(9.80 m/s2) = 1.96 N. So the total force is 22.0 N + 1.96 N = .
26. (d).
27. (c).
28. Follow through , because impulse is the product of force and contact time.
. By stopping, the contact time is short. From the impulse momentum theorem (Favg t = p = mv mvo), a shorter
contact time will result in a greater force if all other factors (m, vo, v) remain the same.
30. (a) Drive: large impulse (large Favg and t); chip shot: small impulse (small Favg and t).
(b) Jab: small impulse (small Favg and t); knock-out punch: large impulse (large Favg and t).
(c) Bunting: small impulse (small Favg and t); home-run swing: large impulse (large Favg and t).
(b) Favg = = = .
36. (a) The magnitude of the change in momentum of the baseball is . Momentum is a vector quantity. When two
momenta are opposite, the magnitude of the difference or subtraction of the two momenta is equal to the sum of the
magnitudes of the two momenta.

If p = p 1 p 2 and p 1 and p 2 are opposite, then p = p1 (p2) = p1 + p2.
(b) Choose the direction of motion before the bunt as positive. v = 10 m/s, vo = 15 m/s.
p = mv – mvo = (0.16 kg)(10 m/s) – (0.16 kg)(15 m/s) = .
(c) Favg = = = , opposite vo.
The impulse of 20.0 Ns = 20.0 kgm/s is perpendicular to the x direction so it is in the y direction.

. This is due to the fact that . For example, two objects of equal mass traveling with the same speed in opposite
directions have positive total kinetic energy but zero total momentum. After they collide inelastically, both stop,
resulting in zero total kinetic energy and zero total momentum. Therefore, kinetic energy is lost and momentum is
conserved.

(0.0200 kg)(300 m/s) + (1.000 kg)(0) = (0.0200 kg)(50.0 m/s) + (1.000 kg) v2. So v2 = .

K= 2 (0.0200 kg)(50.0 m/s)2 + 2 (1.000 kg)(5.00 m/s)2 = 37.5 J.
So the fraction of the total initial kinetic energy lost is = .

Chapter 6 Linear Momentum and Collisions
Both the neptunium and alpha particle will have the same magnitude of momentum. Since neptunium has more
mass, it will have kinetic energy.
(b) The initial total momentum is zero. The final momentum of the alpha particle is
P = = = 1.074 1019 kgm/s.
From momentum conservation, neptunium will also has this same amount of momentum (in opposite direction,
though). K = = = .

119. (a) v1 = v2 = v (forma single object). Apply momentum conservation P o = P
in x-axis: (50.0 kg)(5.00 m/s) (0.50 kg)(35.0 m/s) cos 30 = (50.0 kg + 0.50 kg) vx, so vx = 4.650 m/s;
in y-axis: 0 (0.50 kg)(35.0 m/s) sin 30 = (50.0 kg + 0.50 kg) vy, so vy = 0.1733 m/s.

K= 2 (50.0 kg + 0.50 kg)(4.65 m/s) 2 = 546 J. So the answer is .
