- 2. Multiple Choice
A cannon is mounted on a cart, and carrying a cannonball. The total mass of the cart, cannon, and ball is M, and the cart is rolling with no friction at a velocity v in the positive x-direction as shown above. The ball, of mass m, is fired with a velocity of vball in the positive x direction. What is the velocity of the cart and cannon after the ball is fired?
(Mv-mvball)/(M-mball)
(Mv-mvball)/M
(v-mvball)/mball
(Mv+mvball)/(M-mball)
(-Mv-mvball)/(M+mball)
- 3. Multiple Choice
In a laboratory experiment, a cart rolling frictionless across a table collides with a sensor that indicates both the net force acting on the cart during the collision and the time over which the collision occurred. Based on this information, one can calculate:
the acceleration of the cart
the momentum of the cart
the mass of the cart
the change in kinetic energy
the change in momentum of the cart

An air track glider of mass M is built, consisting of two smaller connected gliders with a small explosive charge between them. The glider is traveling along a frictionless rail at 2 m/s to the right when the charge is detonated, causing the small glider with mass 1/4 M to move off to the right at 5 m/s. What is the final velocity of the second glider?
4 m/s to the left
2m/s to the left
1 m/s to the left
0 m/s
1 m/s to the right

Southwest
- 6. Multiple Choice
A force acting on an object varies as a function of time according to the equation F=kt2 where k is a constant. If the object had an initial momentum of 0 at time t=0, what is the momentum of the object at time t?
2t
2kt
(1/2)kt3
(1/3)kt3
(1/3)kt2
- 7. Multiple Choice
Two ice skaters of mass 30 kg and 80 kg are skating across the surface of a frozen lake on a collision course with respective velocities of 2 m/s in a general north direction and 1 m/s generally west as shown. After they collide, the pair of skaters move off with a momentum of 100 kg m/s in a direction north of west. How much kinetic energy was lost in the collision?
0 J
110 J
55 J
70 J
120 J
- 8. Multiple Choice
A large cannon is mounted on a cart with frictionless wheels that is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The cannon fires a large cannonball to the right with a speed vcannonball which is then caught by a trap firmly attached to the cart. What is the final speed of the cannon-cart-cannonball system?
v>vcannonball to the left
v>vcannonball to the right
0
v<vcannonball to the left
v<vcannonball to the right
- 9. Multiple Choice
A soccer ball is rolling along a field with speed +vinitial when a student runs up and kicks the ball in the same direction that it was traveling so that it now has a greater speed in the same direction, +vfinal. Your physics teacher warns you to take measurements that will allow you to calculate a rough estimate of the impulse applied to the ball by the student's foot. Which measurement would you want to make so that you could calculate this impulse?
I. the distances and times the ball traveled, both before and after the kick
II. the mass of the ball
III. the force applied to the ball
IV. the time that the foot and ball were in contact.
I and II
I and III
I and IV
II and III
II and IV
