Physics HW

Solve the following please for HW.  Will be checked in class tomorrow.  Will also do a supply check at the same time.  Keep in mind that these are all closed systems!  All weights should be converted to Kg and all speeds or velocities should be in m/s.

1.  Find the velocity of a 0.2kg grasshopper after it has been hit by a 2.8kg tennis racquet travelling at 82m/s:

2.  A 3500lb Ferrari travelling at 200km/hr hits a log and flies off at 46km/hr.  What is the mass of the log?

3.  Max J gets hit in the head by an 11kg baseball bat swung at 41m/s.  If his head rebounds at 8mi/hr what was the mass of his head?


4.  Piper was texting with her 0.09kg phone in the back of a pickup truck that was going 56mph (in a 35mph zone L) .  Her phone struck a 0.007kg ladybug that was hovering in air and all of the phone energy was transferred to the ladybug.  At what velocity did it fly off the phone?
