2) Momentum and Newton's Second Law: Impulse

(a) A block of wood is struck by a bullet. Is the block more likely to be knocked over if the bullet embeds itself in the wood or bounces back? Explain why. [Hint: in which case is the change in momentum of the bullet (and hence the force applied by the bullet) larger?]

(b) A sudden gust of wind exerts a force of 20.0 N for 1.20 s on a bird that had been flying at 5.00 m/s. As a result, the bird ends up moving in the opposite direction at 7.00 m/s. What is the mass of the bird?

(c) A 144-g baseball is moving toward home plate with a speed of 97mph when it is bunted (hit softly). The bat exerts an average force of 6.50 ×103 N on the ball for 1.30 ms (millisecond). The average force is directed toward the pitcher, which we take to be the positive x direction. What is the final speed of the ball?

why can you NOT do this problem with newton's second law for rotational motion (sum of torques = I*alpha)? For the apparatus shown in the figure, there is no slipping between the cord and the surface of the pulley. The blocks have mass of 3.0 kg and 5.7 kg, and the pulley has a radius of 0.12 m and a mass of 10.3 kg. At the instant the 5.7 kg mass has fallen 1.5 m starting from rest, find the...
