Problem 1
A hockey puck is travelling to the left with a velocity
of 𝑣1 = 10 m/s when it is struck by a hockey stick
and given a velocity of 𝑣2 = 20 m/s as shown. [Hibbeler 15-7]
Determine the magnitude of the net impulse exerted
by the hockey stick on the puck. The puck has a mass
of 0.2 kg. Problem 5

Problem 10
A 4-kg projectile travels with a horizontal velocity of
600 m/s before it explodes and breaks into two
fragments A and B of mass 1.5 kg and 2.5 kg,
respectively. If the fragments travel along the
parabolic trajectories shown, determine the
magnitude of velocity of each fragment just after the
explosion as well as the change in the projectile’s
energy during the explosion. Also find the horizontal
distance 𝑑𝐵 where segment B strikes the ground at D.
