A pitcher throws a 0.15kg baseball at towards the batter and the batter hits the ball with his bat. The ball leaves the bat in the opposite direction at a speed of
. Calculate the impulse experienced by the baseball.
There are two skaters. The male skater with mass 68kg travels 15m/s North. He approaches a 60kg female skater who is travel 12m/s East; they approach each other at right angles. When they meet, they hold on to each other. At what direction and speed do they move after they meet?

A pickup truck with a mass of is travelling along a highway at a velocity of
when the brakes suddenly give out. In order to slow the vehicle, a mass of sand will be dumped into the back of the pickup truck by another vehicle.
It turns out the truck can only take on an additional payload without risking structural damage. By how much will the speed of the truck be reduced after
of sand is dumped in the truck bed?
