14. For the lever apparatus shown, the weight raises 2 cm for each
20 cm that the end of the bar raises. If the weight is 100 N, how far
would the end move to do 40 J of work on the ball?
A. 1 m
B. 2 m
C. 3 m
D. 4 m
W = Fd
d =W/F = 40J/ 100N = .4m
Class II lever mechanical advantage = dout/din = 20cm/2cm
.4m x 20cm/2cm = 4m

16. A 2 kg cart rolls across the floor and runs into the wall
and sticks.. Before the collision the cart has a velocity
of 4 m/sec in the x direction. The collision took place in
0.1 sec. The bold quantities below are vectors and
require a direction as part of the answer.
1. What was the carts momentum before the
collision? m = 2kg, v = 4m/s, t = .1s
P=mv=2kg x 4m/s = 8 kg m/sec in the x direction
2. What was the carts KE before the collision?
KE= 1/2mv2 = (2kg x 42) = 16J
3. What was the carts momentum after the collision?
0
4. What was the change in the carts momentum?
8 kg m/sec in the negative x direction
21. A 1 kg mass moving at 1 m/sec has a totally inelastic collision with a 0.7 kg
mass. What is the speed of the resulting combined mass after the collision? What
is the ratio of final kinetic energy to the initial total kinetic energy for the
collision?
m1 = 1 kg
v1i = 1 m/sec
m2 = 0.7 kg
J = 2 kg m/sec
m = 0.045 kg
The impulse is equal to the
momentum thus p=2 kg m/sec
p=mv
v=p/m =2/0.045 =44.4m/s
P = mv = .045kg x 44.4m/s =
2 kg m/s
m = 1000 kg
vi = 20 m/sec
t = 10 sec
Ft = p and F = p/ t
p = mv
F = mv/ t
F = (1000kg)(20m/s)/10s = 2000N
30. Two students on roller skates stand face to face and push each
other away. One student(A) has a mass of 90 kg and the other (B)
has a mass of 60 kg.What must the resulting speed of student (A)
be relative to student (B) in order for momentum to be conserved?
(Assume that the momentum before the push is zero.) In
otherwords, looking for a ratio of student B to student A
31. A student using an air track with two carts records the
result of an inelastic collision. One cart has a mass of 0.2 kg
and the other a mass of 0.4 kg. They moved off together at
0.2 m/s after the collision. The 0.4 kg cart was initially at
rest. m1 = .2kg, m2 = .4kg, Vf = .2m/s
-What was the final momentum of the carts?

45. Convert 500C to Kelvin temperature.
add 273 and get 323 Thus 500C = 323 Kelvin
46. Helium gas atoms have a mass of 6.8 x 10-27 kg. What
is the speed of a He atom in a gas at 00C?
(1/2 mv2)average = 3/2 kT : .5 (6.8 x 10-27)(v2) = 1.5(1.38 x
10-23)(273)
vave = 1.3 km/sec: a heavier atom would be slower, and at
a higher temperature faster.
47. Sand has a specific heat of 0.5cal/gram0C. How many
calories does it take to raise the temperature of 100 g of
sand from 600C to 700 C?
Q = m c T Q = 100(.5)(10) = 500 calories.

L = L0 T
T = 200C
L = L0 T = (1 x 10-5) (1500m) 20 = 0.3 m
