Momentum Problem Solving

The document discusses the law of conservation of momentum. It provides examples of calculating the total momentum of interacting objects before and after collisions. In one example, a 50kg girl running at 4m/s jumps into a 100kg raft at rest, and their combined final velocity is calculated to be 1.33m/s. In another example, a 20kg object moving at 2m/s collides with a 5kg stationary object, and the final velocity is calculated. The document demonstrates using the formula for total momentum (Pt = Pt') to solve for unknown velocities in collision examples.

The Law of the Conservation of Momentum
states
• The total momentum of all objects interacting
with one another remains constant regardless of
the nature of the forces between the objects.
• The total momentum of a system will stay the
same before and after a collision.
