EXERCISE NO.8
Impulse and Momentum
1. A 1200-lb automobile is moving at a speed of 90 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, causing all four wheels to skid.
Determine the time required to stop the automobile (a) on dry pavement (0.75), (b) on an icy road (k 0.10).
SOLUTION
2. Two steel blocks are sliding on a frictionless horizontal surface with the velocities shown. Knowing that after impact the velocity of
B is observed to be10.5 ft/s to the right, determine the coefficient of restitution between the two blocks.

3.A 600-g ball A is moving with a velocity
of magnitude 6 m/s when it is hit as shown
by a 1-kg ball B, which has a velocity of
magnitude 4 m/s.Knowing that the
coefficient of restitution is 0.8 and
assuming no friction, determine the
velocity of each ball after impact.
