(Answers given at the end of the chapter)
1. A block of wood is struck by a bullet. (a) Is the block more likely to be knocked over if the bullet is metal and embeds itself in the wood, or if the bullet is rubber and bounces off the wood? (b) Choose the best explanation for your prediction from among the following:
- I. The change in momentum when a bullet rebounds is larger than when it is brought to rest.
- II. The metal bullet does more damage to the block.
- III. The rubber bullet bounces off and hence it has little effect.

Students have asked these similar questions
A 5 kg sphere moves at 5m/s in the +x
direction and hits a 2kg stationary
ball at the origin. After the spheres
collide, the lighter ball has a final
velocity of 3.6m/s directed 49
degrees from the x axis as shown in
the image below.
1. Figure out the speed (v') and
direction (theta) of the heavier
ball after the collision
2. Is the collision elastic or
inelastic? Explain your answer in
3 sentences or less.

Exercise 3 Conservation of Momentum I
Objects A and B (mA = 6.0 kg and m³ = 2.0 kg) have a head-on
collision as shown. Immediately, before the collision, Object A
has a velocity of 8.0 m/s to the right and Object B has a velocity
of 16 m/s to the left.
a. What is the initial magnitude and sign of the momentum for each object?
b. What is the total momentum of the two objects (both sign and magnitude)?
c. Immediately after the collision, Object A has a velocity of 1.0 m/s
to the right. What is the magnitude and direction of the momentum
of Object B immediately after the collision? What is its velocity?
A
a.
Two blocks (mA = 6.0 kg and mB = 2.0 kg) are sitting, at rest
on a horizontal table with negligible friction between the
blocks and the table. The blocks are connected by a
compressed spring, which is held together by a string. When
the string is cut, the two blocks move away from each other.
Use the same scenario as above, except the two objects have a perfectly inelastic collision.…
so I alreayd have the answer dont answer part A just read the teachers feedback and fix my answer for part B thank you
here is the question
A 1.2 kg cart moving at 6.0 m/s [E] collides with a stationary 1.8 kg cart. The head-on collision is completely elastic and is cushioned by a spring.
a)Find the velocity of each cart after the collision.
B) The maximum compression of the spring during the collision is 2.0 cm. Find the spring constant.
Teachers feedback :
Question 2b) you ignored the fact that the combined masses are still moving when the spring is compressed. Try again?
Here is the answer :
For Part B:
Using energy conservation
1/2 kx^2= ½ M2V2^2
Given maximum compersion X= 2 cm 0.02m
Kx (0.02)^2 = 1.8 x (4.8)^2
K= 103680 N.M
The spring constant K= 103680 N/M
