A comet fragment of mass 1.96 × 1013 kg is moving at 6.50 × 104 m/s when it crashes into Callisto, a moon of Jupiter. The mass of Callisto is 1.08 × 1023 kg. The collision is completely inelastic. -Assuming for this calculation that Callisto's initial momentum is zero kg . m/s, what is the recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision?

An airplane is traveling at 225 m/s when it strikes a weather balloon (m = 1.82 kg), which can be considered to be at rest relative to the ground below. After the collision, the balloon is caught on the fuselage and is traveling with the airplane. The collision takes place over a time interval of 4.44 × 10-3 N. What is the average force that the balloon exerts on the airplane during the collision?

A sled of mass m is coasting on the icy surface of a frozen river. While it is passing under a bridge, a package of equal mass m is dropped straight down and lands on the sled (without causing any damage). The sled plus the added load then continue along the original line of motion. How does the kinetic energy of the (sled + load) compare with the original kinetic energy of the sled?
