Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

True or False: Momentum is conserved only in elastic collisions.

💡 Hint: Consider inelastic and perfectly inelastic collisions as well.

Question 2

What is the x-component of momentum if a 4 kg object moves at 3 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees?

  • 2 kg*m/s
  • 3 kg*m/s
  • 6 kg*m/s

💡 Hint: Remember how to calculate the horizontal component with cosine.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A 10 kg cart moves at 5 m/s colliding with a 5 kg cart moving at 3 m/s in the opposite direction. Calculate the velocity of both carts post-collision assuming they stick together.

💡 Hint: Remember to account for the opposite direction as negative momentum.

Question 2

Two ice skaters push away from each other: Skater A with 60 kg moves with a speed of 1.5 m/s while Skater B weighs 40 kg. What will be the speed of Skater B after the push?

💡 Hint: Remember that the signs indicate directions.
