CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM ADDITIONAL PRACTICE 1. The largest single publication in the world is the 11 12-volume set of British Parliamentary Papers for 1968 through 1972. The complete set has a mass of 3.3 x 10' kg. Suppose the entire publication is placed on a cart that can move without friction. The cart is at rest, and a librarian is sitting on top of it, just having loaded the last volume. The librarian jumps off the cart with a horizontal velocity relative to the floor of 2.5 m/s to the right. The cart begins to roll to the left at a speed of 0.05 m/s. Assuming the cart's mass is negligible, what is the librarian's mass? 2. The largest grand piano in the world is really grand. Built in London, it has a mass of 1.25 x 103 kg. Suppose a pianist finishes playing this piano and pushes herself from the piano so that she rolls backwards with a speed of 1.4 m/s. Meanwhile, the piano rolls forward so that in 4.0 s it travels 24 cm at constant velocity. Assuming the stool that the pianist is sitting on has a negligible mass, what is the pianist's mass? 3. With a mass of 114 kg, Baby Bird is the smallest monoplane ever flown. Suppose the Baby Bird and pilot are coasting along the runway when the pilot jumps horizontally to the runway behind the plane. The pilot's velocity upon leaving the plane is 5.32 m/s backward. After the pilot jumps from the plane, the plane coasts forward with a speed of 3.40 m/s. If the pilot's mass equals 60.0 kg, what is the velocity of the plane and pilot before the pilot jumps?4. The September 14, 1987, issue of the New York Times had a mass of 5.4 kg. Suppose a skateboarder picks up a copy of this issue to have a look at the comic pages while rolling backward on the skateboard. Upon realizing that the New York Times doesn't have a "funnies" section, the skateboarder promptly throws the entire issue in a recycling container. The newspaper is thrown forward with a speed of 7.4 m/s. When the skater throws the newspaper away, he rolls backward at a speed of 1.4 m/s. If the combined mass of the skateboarder and skateboard is assumed to be 50.0 kg, what is the initial velocity of the skateboarder and newspaper? 5. The largest frog ever found was discovered in Cameroon in 1989. The frog's mass was nearly 3.6 kg. Suppose this frog is placed on a skateboard with a mass of 3.0 kg. The frog jumps horizontally off the skateboard to the right, and the skateboard rolls freely in the opposite direction with a speed of 2.0 m/s relative to the ground. If the frog and skateboard are initially at rest, what is the final horizontal velocity of the frog? 6. In 1994, a pumpkin with a mass of 449 kg was grown in Canada. Suppose you want to push a pumpkin with this mass along a smooth, horizontal ramp. You give the pumpkin a good push, only to find yourself sliding backwards at a speed of 4.0 m/s. How far will the pumpkin slide 3.0 s after the push? Assume your mass to be 60.0 kg
