1. You are standing perfectly still, and then you take a stepforward. Before the step your momentum was zero, but afterward you have some momentum. Is the principle ofconservation of momentum violated in this case? 2. Does the center of mass of a rocket in free space accelerate? Explain. Can the speed of a rocket exceed the exhaustspeed of the fuel? Explain. 3. Early in the twentieth century, Robert Goddard proposedsending a rocket to the moon. Critics objected that in avacuum, such as exists between the Earth and the Moon,the gases emitted by the rocket would have nothing topush against to propel the rocket. According to ScientificAmerican (January 1975), Goddard placed a gun in a vacuum and fired a blank cartridge from it. (A blank cartridge contains no bullet and fires only the wadding andthe hot gases produced by the burning gunpowder.)What happened when the gun was fired?

Q9. The two speedboats in question 8 are moving at constant speeds on a straight stretch of a racecourse. Speedboat A has more mass than Speedboat B. At the instant shown, the two speedboats have the same kinetic energy. Is the momentum of Speedboat A greater than, less than, or equal to the momentum of Speedboat B? (Speedboat A will have a larger momentum. The kinetic energy is the momentum squared divided by the mass (KE = (momentum)²/mass) so Pa 2 = (ma/mB) p8 2. The larger mass will have the larger momentum if the kinetic energies are the same.)
The impulse-momentum theorem relates impulse to the change in momentum. You throw a 400 g rubber ball at 10 m/s against a wall. The ball rebounds at 8 m/s. 1. What is the initial momentum? ________ Final momentum? ________ Impulse? ________ 2. Given this, is it better for a car to come to a stop or bounce back in a collision? ___________
Q8. Two speedboats are moving at constant speeds on a straight stretch of a B racecourse. At the instant shown, Speedboat A has more momentum than Speedboat B. Is the net force on Speedboat A greater than, less than, or equal to the net force on Speedboat B? Explain. (They are equal since the net force on both boats is zero. Since the speedboats are moving with constant speed and direction, there is no acceleration, so the net force is zero)
