Exercise 3.1 :
1. A steel ball with mass 40.0 g is dropped from a height of
2.00 m onto a horizontal steel slab. The ball rebounds to a
height of 1.60 m.
a. Calculate the impulse delivered to the ball during impact.
b. If the ball is in contact with the slab for 2.00 ms, determine
the average force on the ball during impact.
ANS. : 0.47 N s; 237. 1 N
2. A golf ball (m = 46.0 g) is struck with a force that makes an
angle of 45 with the horizontal. The ball lands 200 m away
on a flat fairway. If the golf club and ball are in contact for
7.00 ms, calculate the average force of impact. (neglect the
air resistance.)
ANS. : 293 N

Exercise 3.2 :
1. An object P of mass 4 kg moving with a velocity 4 m s1 collides
elastically with another object Q of mass 2 kg moving with a
velocity 3 m s1 towards it.
a. Determine the total momentum before collision.
b. If P immediately stop after the collision, calculate the final
velocity of Q.
c. If the two objects stick together after the collision, calculate
the final velocity of both objects.
ANS. : 10 kg m s1; 5 m s1 to the right; 1.7 m s1 to the right
2. A marksman holds a rifle of mass mr = 3.00 kg loosely in his
hands, so as to let it recoil freely when fired. He fires a
bullet of mass mb = 5.00 g horizontally with a velocity 300 m s-1.
Determine
a. the recoil velocity of the rifle,
b. the final momentum of the system.
ANS. : 0.5 m s1; U think. 3

Figure 3.7
In Figure 3.7 show a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two
blocks at rest on a frictionless tabletop. The bullet passes
through the first block, with mass 1.20 kg, and embeds
itself in the second block, with mass 1.80 kg. Speeds of
0.630 m s1 and 1.40 m s-1, respectively, are thereby given
to the blocks. Neglecting the mass removed from the first
block by the bullet, determine
a. the speed of the bullet immediately after it emerges
the first block and from
b. the initial speed of the bullet.
