Conservation of Momentum Practice

Which has more momentum?

During a collision, the forces on the objects are...

A 20 g bullet hit a target and slows to a stop from a velocity of 2500 ft/s in .3 seconds. Which what force does the bullet his the target?

A car of mass 750 kg travels at 40 m/s to the right. The car collides with a 1200 kg truck which is traveling at 35 m/s to the right. The two interlock as a result of the collision. What is the final velocity of the car-truck system?

A 1650 kg car travels with a velocity of 30 miles/hour and hits a wall. The wall applies a force and causes the car to travel backwards at a speed of 2 mph in 0.5 seconds. What force does the wall apply on the car?

A 175 kg ball moves with a speed of 25 m/s to the right. The ball collides with a second 185 kg ball moving in the same direction with a speed of 22 m/s. After the collision, the speed of the 185kg ball is 18 m/s to the right. New of 175kg ball?

A train of mass 200 kg moves with a velocity of 100 m/s to the right. The train collides with a car of mass 50 kg which is stopped on the track. After the collision, the train comes to a stop. Solve the final velocity of the car.

Tony Siragusa has a mass of 154 kg and runs with a velocity of 2 m/s. He hits 91 kg Joe Namath who is running towards him with a velocity of 4 m/s. Solve for the final velocity of the entangled players.
