100

This is the product of mass and velocity

What is momentum

100

One of the Wickersham brothers, the one with a mass of 45 kg, chased Horton with a velocity of 15 m/s.  This is his momentum

What is 675 kg m/s?

100

Mayzie, who has a mass of 10 kg, accelerates form 5 m/s to 20 m/s.  This her impulse

What is 150 kg m/s?

100

While standing on a frictionless surface, a 100 kg pitcher throws a 0.150 kg baseball at 43 m/s. This is the resulting speed of the pitcher.

What is -0.0645 m/s

100

A 0.50 kg ball moving at 8 m/s rebounds off a wall at -6 m/s ; this is the change in momentum of the ball.

What is −7 kg·m/s?

200

This is equal to the change in momentum

What is the impulse?

200

Horton ran away at the same speed (15 m/s).  Horton's momentum was found to be 18,000 kg m/s.  This is Horton's mass

What is 1200 kg?

200

A rocket applies a force of 4000 N for 3.5 seconds.  This is its change in momentum.

What is 14,000 kg m/s?

200

JoJo has a mass of 70 kg.  She runs at a speed of 15 m/s and jumps onto a stationary skateboard with a mass of 0.5 kg.  This is the final speed of JoJo and the skateboard.

What is 14.9 m/s?

200

A 12 N force acts on a 3 kg object for 4 s; this is the impulse delivered to the object.

What is 48 N·s?

300

This is a collision where loss in kinetic energy is the greatest

What is a totally inelastic collision

300

The Sour Kangaroo, jumped with a force of 250 N over a period of 1.5 seconds.  This is his impulse

What is 375 kg m/s

300

My 1600 kg Honda Accord accelerates from 0 to 30 m/s in 10 seconds. This is the force that the car experienced.

What is 4800 kg m/s2?

300

While skating on a frictionless surface, George who was moving a 10 m/s crashes in and sticks to Jenny who is stationary.  If Jenny's mass is 40 kg and George and Jenny are both moving at 4 m/s, then this is the mass of George

What is 26.7 kg?

300

A 1000 kg car slows from 20 m/s to 10 m/s in 5 s; this is the average force acting on the car.

What is -2000 N?

400

This is what you get when you divide momentum by velocity

What is Mass?

400

In an attempt to rescue the Who's, Gertrude McFuzz, who's mass is 5 kg, accelerated from rest at a constant rate of 8 m/s2 for 5 seconds.  This is her final momentum

What is 200 kg m/s?

400

My wife's 1800 kg Outback accelerates at 10 m/s2 for 20 seconds. If it's initial momentum of 18,000 kg m/s, then this is its final momentum.

What is 378,000 kg m/s

400

My 1750-kg Ferrari  traveling a 50 m/s crashed into a 30,000 kg dump truck moving at -10 m/s.  If the dump truck had a final speed of -4 m/s, then this is the final speed of the Ferrari?

What is -52.9 m/s?

400

Two carts (2 kg and 3 kg) collide and stick together; the 2 kg cart moves at 5 m/s and the other is at rest; this is their final velocity.

What is 2 m/s?

500

This is what you get when you divide impulse by mass

What is change in velocity

500

In an attempt to chase down Pherb, Isabella ran a distance of 56 meters in 4 seconds.  Assuming that her velocity was constant and her momentum is 616 kg m/s, this is Isabella's mass.

What is 44 kg?

500

My Ferrari 296 GTS accelerated 12m/s2 from rest over a distance of 500 m. If it's mass is 1750 kg, then this is the time required for it to accelerate.

What is 9.13 seconds?

500

A boy moving at 5 m/s collides with a 40 kg-girl moving at -6 m/s.  If they remain stuck together after the collision moving at a speed of 2 m/s, then this is the mass of the boy.

What is 107 kg?

500

A 0.20 kg ball moving at +15 m/s toward a bat leaves at -25 m/s.  The contact time is 0.010 s; this is the average force on the ball.

What is −800 N?
