The definition of gravitational field strength is:

• The region of space surrounding a body where other bodies will feel an attractive force due to it.
• The region of space surrounding a body where other bodies will feel an repulsive force due to it.
• The region of space surrounding a charge where other charges will feel an attractive force due to it.
• The region of space surrounding a charge where other charges will feel an repulsive force due to it.

Most modern vehicles have padded dashboards. This reduces collision injuries by...

• reducing the driver's change in momentum
• increasing the driver's change in momentum
• increasing the force of impact
• increasing the time of impact

The recoil speed of a rifle is much less than the exit velocity of a bullet because...

• the rifle experiences a smaller force
• the rifle experiences a smaller change in momentum
• the rifle has a much greater mass
• the rifle does not obey the laws of physics
