An explosion in a rigid pipe shoots out three pieces. A 6 g piece comes out the right end. A 4 g piece comes out the left end with twice the speed of the 6 g piece. From which end does the third piece emerge? • Left end • Right end
An explosion in a rigid pipe shoots out three pieces. A 6 g piece comes out the right end. A 4 g piece comes out the left end with twice the speed of the 6 g piece. From which end does the third piece emerge? • Left end • Right end This must be so in order for final momentum to match initial momentum of zero.
Objects A and C are made of different materials, with different “springiness,” but they have the same mass and are initially at rest. When ball B collides with object A, the ball ends up at rest. When ball B is thrown with the same speed and collides with object C, the ball rebounds to the left. Compare the velocities of A and C after the collisions. Is vA greater than, equal to, or less than vC? • vA > vC • vA = vC • vA < vC

Is vA greater than, equal to, or less than vC? • vA > vC • vA = vC • vA < vC The total change in momentum must be zero in both cases. The ball has a larger change in momentum after hitting object C. C must have an equal and opposite change in momentum.
