A volleyball is spiked so that its incoming velocity of +4.0 m/s is changed to an outgoing velocity of −21 m/s. The mass of the volleyball is 0.35 kg. What impulse does the player apply to the ball?

Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, the first having a mass of 150,000 kg and a velocity of 0.300 m/s, and the second having a mass of 110,000 kg and a velocity of −0.120 m/s. (The minus indicates direction of motion.) What is their final velocity?

Two friends, Al and Jo, have a combined mass of 168 kg. At an ice skating rink they stand close together on skates, at rest and facing each other, with a compressed spring between them. The spring is kept from pushing them apart because they are holding each other. When they release their arms, Al moves off in one direction at a speed of 0.90 m/s, while Jo moves off in the opposite direction at a speed of 1.2 m/s. Assuming that friction is negligible, find Al’s mass.
