TEST 2. PROBLEM SOLVING

Directions: Solve each problem or do as indicated below. Show your complete solutions. You may use the
back of this page.

1. Isabel’s mass is 30 kg and that the bike she is riding is 10 kg. If she rides at 7.22 m/s, what is her and
her bike’s momentum combines?(2 points)
Solution:

2. A 400-kg carabao is running at 3 m/s. How much time will it take to stop it if a force of 1000 N is
applied? (2 points)
Solution:

3. Two blocks, of masses m1= 1kg and m2= 1.5 kg respectively, collide elastically. Their initial velocity are
shown below, with v1= 2 m/s and v2= -1m/s. (a) Calculate the momentum of the system before collision.
(b) What is the momentum of the system after collision? (c) If the block on the right moves off at 1.4 m/s
after collision, what is the velocity of the block on the left after collision? ( 6 points)

V1 = 2 m/s V2 = 2 m/s V1 ’= ? V2 ’= 1.4 m/s

Solution:

4. A ball,moving at v1= 1.1 m/s to the right, collides elastically with a second ball which is initially at rest. If
the masses of the balls are the same and equal to 0.220 kg, (a) find the velocities of the balls after
collision.(b) How much kinetic energy did the first ball lose in the collision? (c) How much did the
second ball gain? ( 6 points)
V1 = 0.5 m/s V2 = ? V1 ’= ? V2 ’= ?
