    Impulse and momentum problems with truck collision and fission

    Here is what i did but i don't know if it's correct... 1) Impulse = mass * delta(velocity) = m*dv = d(mv) m = 50 kg dv= 4 - 0 = 4 I = 50,000 * 4 = 200,000 2) - F=ma => and they both experience the same - Once again, I = d(mv), assuming they both have the same difference in...

    Impulse and momentum problems with truck collision and fission

    Anybody in here taking Physics class right now or in the past? Can you help me out...i have 4 more questions: 1) How much impulse stops a 50-kg carton sliding at 4 m/s when it meets a rough surface? Conservation of momentum: mv(befor) = mv(after) 2) If a Mack truck and Ford Escort have a...

    Velocity and acceleration with a rock thrown upward and falling skydiver

    From reading the textbook, i come to Answer #1) E and 2) D...For #3, two example would be 1- an example of zero velocity and non-zero acceleration would be kind of like the question #1 with the rock...as for the second example with zero acceleration and non-zero velocity...?

    Velocity and acceleration with a rock thrown upward and falling skydiver

    Homework Statement Got a couple of physics question from my class: 1)A rock is thrown vertically upward from the surface of the earth. The rock rises to its maximum height and then falls back towards the surface of the earth. Which of the following statements is true if air resistance is...
