Physics 12 Momentum and Impulse worksheet. Name:__________________ A 1.5 x 103 kg car accelerates from rest at 4.0 m/s2 for 6.0 s. a)What momentum does it acquire in that time? [3.6 x 104 kg(m/s] b)What was the impulse exerted on it? [3.6 x 104 N(s] The average accelerating force exerted on a 5.0 kg shell in a gun barrel is 5.0 x 104 N, and the muzzle velocity is 200 m/s. Calculate: a) The impulse on the shell. [1.0 x 103 N(s] b) The length of time it takes to move up the heavy gun barrel. [2.0 x 10-2 s] A 300 g ball is struck by a bat with an impact that lasts 0.020 s. If the ball moves through the air towards the bat at 50 m/s and leaves at 100 m/s in the opposite direction, calculate the average force exerted by the bat on the ball. [2.3 x 103 N] When a person parachutes, the impact velocity is equal to that attained in free fall from a height of 4.5 m. After contacting the ground, the jumper’s momentum is quickly brought to zero by the Earth. What is: a)The impact velocity? [-9.4 m/s] b)The impulse of the ground on the jumper, assuming a mass of 80 kg? [7.5 x 102 N(s] c)The average force on the jumper’s feet if: i)He lands stiff-legged and the impulse only lasts 0.019 s? [3.9 x 104 N] ii)He lands with his knees flexed, so that the impulse is extended over a time interval of 0.050 s? [1.5 x 104 N] A bullet of mass 0.050 kg, moving with a velocity of 400 m/s, penetrates a distance of 0.10 m into a wooden block firmly attached to the Earth. If the resisting force is assumed constant, calculate: a) The acceleration of the bullet. [-8.0 x 105 m/s2] b) The average force exerted on the bullet. [-4.0 x 104 N] c) The time required for it to stop. [5.0 x 10-4 s] d) The impulse of the collision. [-20 N(s] e) The original momentum of the bullet. [20 kg(m/s] 6.
