From the figure above, determine the which characteristic fits this collision best.
A super dart of mass 20 g, traveling at 350 m/s, strikes a steel plate at an angle of 30° with the plane of the plate, as shown in the figure. It bounces off the plate at the same angle but at a speed of 320 m/s. What is the magnitude of the impulse that the plate gives to the bullet?
A 70 kg woman and her 35 kg son are standing at rest on an ice rink, as shown above. They push against each other for a time of 0.60 s, causing them to glide apart. The speed of the woman immediately after they separate is 0.55 m/s.
Assume that during the push, friction is negligible compared with the forces the people exert on each other.
A golf club exerts an average horizontal force of 1000 N on a 0.045-kg golf ball that is initially at rest on the tee. The club is in contact with the ball for 1.8 milliseconds. What is the speed of the golf ball just as it leaves the tee?
In which of the following is the rate of change of the particle’s momentum zero?

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
