A space vehicle, in a circular orbit around Earth, collides with a small asteroid that ends up in the vehicle’s storage bay. For this collision

2

Two identical billiard balls traveling at the same speed have a head-on collision and rebound. If the balls had twice the mass, but maintained the same size and speed, how would the rebound be different?

3

You are a witness in a court case involving a car accident. The accident involved car A of mass which crashed into stationary car B of mass . The driver of car A applied his brakes before he crashed into car B. After the collision, car A slid while car B slid 3. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the locked wheels and the road was measured to be . What was the velocity of car A before hitting the brakes?

4

A crate slides along the floor for before stopping. If it was initially moving with a velocity of , what is the force of friction?

5

Two equal mass balls (one green and the other yellow) are dropped from the same height and rebound off of the floor. The yellow ball rebounds to a higher position. Which ball is subjected to the greater magnitude of impulse during its collision with the floor?

6

A crate slides along the floor for before stopping. If it was initially moving with a velocity of , what is the force of friction?

7

The area under the curve on a Force versus time (F versus t) graph represents
