1.1 Yes. Momentum is a vector
quantity, and the momenta of the
two cars are in opposite directions.
1.2 You reduce the force by in-
creasing the length of time it takes
to stop the motion of your body.
1.3 The raindrop, because a su-
pertanker at rest has zero momen-
tum
1.4 Critical Thinking: The ones
that bounce off give more impulse
because they end up with some
momentum in the reverse direc-
tion, meaning they have a larger
change in momentum,

2.2 Since the mass of the racket is

is required. In addition, itis being

REVIEWING-ConcEPTS’ —
1. Yes. In order for a bullet to
have the same momentum as a
truck, it must have a higher veloc-
lty such that msiter = MVevce
2. a, The pitcher and catcher ex-
ert the same impulse on the bail,
but the two impulses are opposite
in direction. b. The catcher exerts
the larger force on the ball, be-
cause the time interval over which
the force is exerted is smaller.
3. No net force on the system
Means no“net impuise on the sys-
tem and no net change in momen-
tum. However, individual parts of
the system may have @ change in
momentum as long as the net
change in momentum is zero,
4. Cars are made with bumpers
that retract during a crash in order
~ 10 increase the time of a collision,
reducing the force
5. An isolated system has no ex-
ternal forces acting on it.
6. A conservation law states that
a quantity is the same before and
after an interaction,
7, Momentum is conserved. The
change in momentum af gases in
‘one direction must be balanced by
an equal change in momentum of
the spacecraft in the opposite ci-
rection.
8. The eight ball must be moving
with the same velocity that the cue
ball had just before the collision,
9. a. The momentum of a faling
ball_is not conserved because
there is a net external force, grav-
ity, acting on it. b. One such sys-
tem in which total momentum is
Conserved includes the ball plus

APPLYING CONCEPTS
1. Yes. If the smaller force acts
for a long enough time, it can pro-
vide a larger impulse,
2. You should move your hands
in the same direction the ball is
traveling to increase the time of the
collision, reducing the force.
3. The bullet is in the ile a
longer time, so the momentum it
gains is larger.
4. His momentum is transferred
to Earth. Both Jim and Earth to-
gether must be considered as a
system in order to use conserva-
tion of momentum,
5. When the gas pistol is fired in
the opposite direction, it provides
the impulse needed to move the
astronaut toward the capsule.
6. Consider the system to be the
ball and wall (and Earth). The wall
and Earth gain some momentum in
the collision.
7. By shooting mass, exhaust
gas, at high velocity in the same
direction in which you are moving,
its momentum would cause your
ship's momentum to be decreased
8. If the two trucks had equal
masses, they would have moved
off at half the speed. Thus the
moving truck must have had a
more massive load
9, Held loosely, the recoil mo-
mentum of the rile works against
only the mass of the rifle, produc-
ing a larger velocity and strik-
ing your shoulder smartly. When
held firmly against your shoulder,
the recoil momentum must work
against the mass of the rifle and
yourself, resutting in a smaller ve-
locity.
10. Momentum is conserved, so
the momentum of the block and
bullet after the collision equals the
momentum of the bullet_ before.
The rubber bullet has @ negative
momentum after impact with re-
spect to the block, so the block's
momentum must be greater in this
case. Bouncing beats sticking.
11. Rebounding presents the
greater danger because it requires
@ greater change in momentum
and, therefore, a greater impulseChapter 9: Momentum and its Conservation

Figure 9-19, which is drawn to scale, shows
two balls during an elastic collision. The balls
enter from the left of the page, collide, and
bounce away. The heavier ball at the bottom
of the diagram has a mass of 600 g, while the
ball on the top has a mass of 400 g. Using a
vector diagram, determine if momentum is
conserved in this collision, Hint: Remember
that the two masses are not equal. Try to
account for any discrepancy found in the total
‘momentum before and after the collision.
Dotted lines shOw that the changes of,
momentum for/€ach ball are equal and opposite:
AGray) = Stmv). Since the masses are in a

compensate.
