10. 2 cars are at rest with
a coiled spring between them. One car is 100 kg and the other car is 75 kg. When
the coiled spring between the carts is released the cars are pushed apart. If
the 75 kg cart attains a speed of 4 m/s, what speed does the 100 kg attain?
11. If a box is being pulled up a ramp, what would the direction of the friction be?
12. A 300 kg car skids on a horizontal wet concrete road. What is the force of friction on the car?
13. A 300 N car skids on a horizontal wet concrete road. What is the force of friction on the car?
14. What can you do to a car to increase the amount of friction between the car's tire and the road?
15. A 2 kg object traveling 3 m/s east has a perfectly elastic collision with a 12 kg object traveling 4 m/s west.
a) Find the total momentum after the collision
16. A hunter fires a bullet from a rifle. What is the total momentum of the rifle, hunter and bullet after the rifle is fired? If the momentum of the bullet is 1200 kg m/s, what is the momentum of the hunter and rifle?
