Question 2
2.1 Newton’s third law, implies that the total momentum of a system interacting objects not
acted on by outside forces is conserved.
2.2
2.3Before collision = (20kg x 2 m/s) + (10kg x -2 m/s)
Ptotal before = 40kg – 20kg
= 20kg
After collision= (20kg + 10kg) x v
Ptotal after = 30kg x v

3.3.2 If the FN= 0 that means that no normal force was exceed on Tom by his seatbelt, as
there’s no normal force acting on Tom, he will be thrown out of the big wheel due to the
centripetal force.
