The following are momentum problems. Use the equations in your book/notes to solve them.
1) A kilogram motorcycle is moving at a speed of m/s. What is the momentum of the cycle? kg-m/s
2) If the motorcycle above crashes into a wall and stops in a time of 0.05 seconds, how much force acted on the cycle to bring it to a stop? N
3) A small car (mass = kilograms), moving at m/s, crashes head on with a kilogram truck moving at m/s in the opposite direction. If the two cars become intertwined and mangled (inelastic), with what velocity does the wreckage move? (Don't forget direction!) m/s
