The momentum of the supertanker at cruising speed, expressed in scientific notation, is b 10w kg.m/s. The value of b is __________. (Record your three-digit answer in the numerical-response section on the answer sheet.)
A 6–kg mass moving at 10 m/s has a head-on collision with a 4–kg mass that is initially at rest. Following the collision, the 6 kg mass moves at a speed of 2 m/s.

When these two freight cars of different mass collide and couple, what will be their resultant velocity? 2. A 2 kg blob of putty moving at 4 m/s slams into a 6 kg blob of putty at rest.
The Curriculum Corner contains a complete ready-to-use curriculum for the high school physics classroom. This collection of pages comprise worksheets in PDF format that developmentally target key concepts and mathematics commonly covered in a high school physics curriculum.
This collection of problem sets and problems target student ability to use momentum, impulse, and conservations principles to solve physics word problems associated with collisions, explosions, and explosive-like impulses.
Practice with Conservation of Momentum - Answers Conceptual Questions 1. Why is momentum conserved for ALL collision, regardless of whether they are elastic or not? Newton’s 3rd Law says that each object feels the same force, but in opposite directions. By extension, they
a. Momentum is conserved for a system of objects pushing away from each other. b. Momentum is not conserved for a system of objects in a head-on collision. c. Momentum is conserved when two or more interacting objects push away from each other. d. The total momentum of a system of interacting objects remains constant regardless of
