Momentum, Collisions, Impulse *Challenge

Newton's 3rd Law: When a student on a skateboarder applies a force of 20 Newton to 'push' the ball in a positive direction, what does the student experience?

• A positive (+) force of the same magnitude

• A negative (-) force of equal magnitude

• No force at all, only the ball experiences the force

• A force that is smaller than the 'push' do to being more massive

Newton's 3rd Law: When a student (40 kg) on a skateboard applies a force to accelerate a medicine ball (5kg) to the right, the force acting on the student is:

• A much smaller force

• A much larger force

You have THREE different objects with different masses traveling at different velocities. Which has the greatest momentum?

Object A: really massive traveling slowly

Object B: low mass traveling really fast

Object C: a medium mass traveling at a medium speed

• Object A has the greatest momentum

• Object B has the greatest momentum

• Object C has the greatest momentum

• We cannot say which one has the most momentum without knowing the mass and velocity

When comparing the momentum of moving objects, which of the following is correct?

Object A: 10 kg traveling at +8 m/s

Object B: 8 kg traveling at -10 m/s

Object C: 5 kg traveling at +20 m/s

• Object A has the greatest momentum

• The more massive object has the greatest momentum

• Object C has the greatest momentum

• The object traveling the fastest will ALWAYS have the greatest momentum

When comparing the momentum of moving objects, which of the following is correct?

Object A: 10 kg traveling at +8 m/s

Object B: 8 kg traveling at -10 m/s

Object C: 5 kg traveling at +20 m/s

• Momentum is vector and requires direction

• Objects A and C have + momentum

• Object B has -80 kg m/s of momentum

• All answers are true
