A ball of mass 250 g is thrown with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 30 with the horizontal direction. Ignore air resistance. What is the momentum of the ball after 0.2 s? (Do this problem by finding the components of the momentum first, and then constructing the magnitude and direction of the momentum vector from the components.)
A space probe, initially at rest, undergoes an internal mechanical malfunction and breaks into three pieces. One piece of mass ml = 48.0 kg travels in the positive x-direction at 12.0 m/s, and a second piece of mass m2 = 62.0 kg travels in the xy-plane at an angle of 105 at 15.0 m/s. The third piece has mass m3 = 112 kg. (a) Sketch a diagram of the situation, labeling the different masses and their velocities, (b) Write the general expression for conservation of momentum in the x- and y-directions in terms of m1, m2, m3, v1, v2 and v3 and the sines and cosines of the angles, taking to be the unknown angle, (c) Calculate the final x-components of the momenta of m1 and m2. (d) Calculate the final y-components of the momenta of m1 and m2. (e) Substitute the known momentum components into the general equations of momentum for the x- and y-directions, along with the known mass m3. (f) Solve the two momentum equations for v3 cos and v3 sin , respectively, and use the identity cos2 + sin2 = 1 to obtain v3. (g) Divide the equation for v3 sin by that for v3 cos to obtain tan , then obtain the angle by taking the inverse tangent of both sides, (h) In general, would three such pieces necessarily have to move in the same plane? Why?

In a football game, a receiver is standing still, having just caught a pass. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocity of +3.97 m/s, grabs him. The tackler holds onto the receiver, and the two move off together with a velocity of +1.58 m/s. The mass of the tackler is 84.1 kg. Assuming that momentum is conserved, find the mass of the receiver.
During a football game, a receiver has just caught a pass and is standing still. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocity of +3.9 m/s, grabs and holds onto him so that they move off together with a velocity of +2.3 m/s. If the mass of the tackler is 125 kg, determine the mass of the receiver in kilograms. Assume momentum is conserved. kg

. A 50-kg model rocket lifts off by expelling fuel downward at a rateof k = 4.75 kg/s for 10 s. The fuel leaves the end of the rocket with anexhaust velocity of b = −100 m/s. Let m(t) be the mass of the rocketat time t. From the law of conservation of momentum, we find the following differential equation for the rocket’s velocity v(t) (in meters persecond):m(t)v(t) = −9.8m(t) + bdmdt(a) Show that m(t) = 50 − 4.75t kg.(b) Solve for v(t) and compute the rocket’s velocity at rocket burnout(after 10 s)
