1. The document is a physics worksheet containing questions about momentum and conservation of momentum. 2. The momentum questions involve true/false statements, filling in blanks, and calculating momentum using the formula momentum = mass x velocity. 3. The conservation of momentum questions involve determining the type of collision (elastic or inelastic) and calculating velocities after collisions using conservation of momentum equations.

I. Momentum
A. True or False?

_______1.) Momentum is not equal to the mass of an object divided by its velocity.
_______2.) The momentum of an object can change.
_______3.) Two objects with the same mass will always have the same momentum.
_______4.) All moving objects don’t have momentum.
_______5.) When an object speeds up, it gains momentum.
_______6.) Objects with different masses can’t have the same momentum.
_______7.) Direction does not matter when you are measuring momentum.
_______8.) Momentum can be transferred from one object to another.
_______9.) When objects collide, some momentum is lost.
_______10.) A tiny bullet can have more momentum than a huge truck.

B. Fill in the blank.

11.) A moving car has momentum. If it moves twice as fast, its momentum is ________________ as much.
12.) Two cars, one twice as heavy as the other, move down a hill at the same speed. Compared to the lighter
car, the momentum of the heavier car is ___________________ as much.

C. Given the following data, solve for momentum. P = mv


22.) A steel ball whose mass is 2.0 kg is rolling at a rate of 2.8 m/s. What is its momentum?

23.) A marble is rolling at a velocity of 1.5 m/s with a momentum of 0.10 kg m/s. What is its mass?

24.) On April 15, 1912, the luxury cruise liner Titanic sank after running into an iceberg. What was the cruise
liner’s speed when it collided with the ice berg if it had a mass of 4.23 x 108 kg ship and a momentum of 4.9 x
109 kg·m/s?

25.) Suppose you are traveling in a bus at highway speed on a nice summer day and the momentum of an
unlucky bug is suddenly changed as it splatters onto the front window.

a) Compared to the force that acts on the bug, how much force acts on the bus. (more) (the same) (less)

b) Although the momentum of the bus is very large compared to the momentum of the bug, the change in
momentum of the bus compared to the change in momentum of the bug is (more) (the same) (less)

c) Which experiences the greater acceleration (HINT: think of Newton’s 2nd Law)? (bus) (both the same) (bug)

d) Which, therefore, suffers the greater damage? (bus) (both the same) (the bug of course!)

II. Conservation of Momentum (Types of Collision)

Determine what type of collision are the following problems and solve.(Show your solutions)

1. A 2.50 kg ball moving at 7.50 m/s is caught by a 70.0 kg man while the man is standing on ice. How fast will
the man / ball combination be moving after the ball is caught by the man?

2. A 1200 kg car traveling North at 20.0 m/s collides with a 1400 kg car traveling South at 22.0 m/s. The two
cars collide and entangle. What is the resulting velocity of the wreckage?

3. A 5.00 kg ball hits a 75.0 kg man standing at rest on ice. The man catches the ball. How fast does the ball
need to be moving in order to send the man off at a speed of 3.00 m/s?
4. A 1.50 x 103 kg car traveling at 100 km/h South collides with a 1.20 x 103 kg car traveling North at 100 km/h.
The heavier car continues to move South after the collision, but slows to 25.0 km/h (convert to m/s). How fast
is the lighter car moving after the collision?

5. A 1000 kg car traveling South at 20.0 m/s collides with a 1200 kg car traveling East at 20.0 m/s. The two
vehicles entangle after the collision and head off as one. What is the velocity of the combined wreckage
immediately after the collision?

6. A 1500 kg car traveling West at 90.0 km/h collides with a 1400 kg truck traveling North at 72.0 km/h. The
two vehicles entangle after the collision and head off as one. What is the velocity of the wreckage immediately
after the collision?

7. A 4.00 kg ball traveling North with a momentum of 11.2 kg.m/s collides with a 6.0 kg ball traveling West with
a momentum of 18 kg.m/s. The two balls stick together and head off as one. What is the momentum of the
combined masses? What is the velocity of the combined masses?

8. A 400 kg bomb sitting at rest on a table explodes into three pieces. A 150 kg piece moves off to the East
with a velocity of 150 m/s. A 100 kg piece moves off with a velocity of 200 m/s. What is the velocity of the third
piece?

9. A 75.0 kg man is standing at rest on ice while holding a 4.00 kg ball. If the man throws the ball at a velocity
of 3.50 m/s forward, what will his resulting velocity be?

10. A person holding a 15.0 kg gun containing one 50.0 g bullet is riding on a train that is traveling at 75.0 km/h
East. If the man fires the gun and the bullet moves with a velocity of 350 m/s East (relative to the train), what is
the velocity of the gun relative to the ground?
