A child hits an ice cube with a mass of 10 grams on a table witha force of 10 N. The impact lasts 0.02 seconds. The ice cube fliesoff the table, which is 1 meter high and lands some distance away.Assume there is no friction between the ice cube and the table. a.What is the velocity of the ice cube when it leaves the table? b.What is the final velocity of the ice cube just before it hits thefloor? c. What is the momentum of the ice cube just before it hitsthe floor? d. What distance will the ice cube land from the foot ofthe table? e. Suppose the ice cube had broken into two pieces justafter the child hit the ice and moved away from each other whilefalling to the floor. How would the total momentum of the twopieces just before they hit the floor compared to the momentum youfound in part (c)?
