    21. Colliding Objects (1-D)

    Learn Summary:

    1. State The Law of Conservation of Momentum:

    2. Outline the formula that applies to this law both qualitatively an quantitatively. Include a
    description of the units used:

    3. What are some examples of collisions that may be analysed using this formula?

    4. A car with a mass of 500kg travelling at 3 m/s to the north, collides with a 750kg car which is
    stationary. After the collision the 500kg car stops. What happens to the 750kg car?

    5. A shopping cart with a mass of 40kg travelling at 1.5 m/s east, collides with a 10kg shopping cart
    travelling at 2.5 m/s in the same direction. After the collision the trolleys were stuck together and
    moving at the same speed. What is the velocity of the combined masses after the collision.

    6. A 250g ice puck travelling at 5 m/s east, collides with an identical ice puck travelling in the same
    direction at 2.5 m/s. After the collision the first ice puck rebounds in the opposite direction at 1.5
    m/s. What is the velocity of the second ice puck after the collision?

    7. A ball with a mass of 2kg travelling at 3 m/s to the north, collides with another ball with a mass of
    4kg moving in the opposite direction at 3 m/s. After the collision the 2kg ball bounces in the opposite
    direction at 4 m/s. What happens to the 4kg ball?

    Practice:
    1. A toy with a mass of 2.5kg travelling at 5 m/s to the north, collides with 1 kg block which is
    stationary. After the collision the 2.5kg toy stops. What happens to the 1kg block?

    2. A billy cart with a mass of 10kg travelling at 2.5 m/s east, collides with another 10kg billy cart
    travelling at 1.2 m/s in the same direction. After the collision the billy carts were stuck together and
    moving at the same speed. What is the velocity of the combined masses after the collision?

    3. A 100g billiard ball travelling at 1.2 m/s east, collides with an identical billiard ball travelling in the
    same direction at 0.8 m/s. After the collision the first billiard ball rebounds in the opposite direction
    at 0.2 m/s. What is the velocity of the second billiard ball after the collision?

    4. A dodgem-car with a mass of 65kg travelling at 4.5 m/s to the north, collides with another
    dodgem-car with a mass of 50kg moving in the opposite direction at 3 m/s. After the collision the
    65kg dodgem-car bounces in the opposite direction at 0.5 m/s. What happens to the 50kg dodgem-
    car?
