    Impulse:
    Exercise 1: Use impulse = F x t to solve the following problems.

    a) A football player kicks a ball with a force of 50N. Find the


    impulse on the ball if his foot stays in contact with the football for
    0.01s.

    b) A hockey player applies an average force of 80N to a 0.25kg hockey puck for a
    time of 0.2s. Determine the impulse experienced by the hockey puck.

    c) Aunt Mary needs to hang a picture in her bedroom. She uses a hammer to drive
    the nail into the wall. Find the force exerted by the hammer on the nail if the
    hammer stays in contact with the nail for 0.5s and has an impulse of 25Ns.

    _____________________________________________________________________________

    Exercise 2: Use impulse = change in momentum to solve the following:

    a) A 0.5kg baseball experiences a 10N force for a duration of 0.1s. What is the
    change in velocity of the baseball?

    2. Suppose that you have a mass of 45.7 kg and are standing on frictionless roller skates.
    Someone then throws you a 2.50 kg mass with a velocity of 14.5 m/s and you catch it.
    What will be your resultant velocity?

    3. A 1250 kg car is moving down the highway with a velocity of 32.0 m/s when it
    bumps into the car ahead of it which has a mass of 875 kg and a velocity of 25.0 m/s.
    After the collision, the two cars stick together. What will be the resulting velocity of
    the two cars together?

    4. A 9.00 kg mass is moving to the right with a velocity of 14.0 m/s. A 12.0 kg mass is
    moving to the left with a velocity of 5.00 m/s. Assuming that these two balls have a
    head on collision and stick together, what will be the final velocity of the
    combination?
