• None of the above

What is the momentum of a 4 kg car moving 4 m/s to the left?

Two identical cars, traveling at the same speed, crash into a wall. What variable is constant for both situations?

• Change in momentum

• Force

• Time

• All of the above are the same for each situation

Two identical cars, traveling at the same speed, crash into a wall. Since both cars have the same change in momentum, how can the force experienced by the passengers be decreased?

• Decreasing the time of the impact

• Increasing the time of the impact

• Both car accidents will experience the same force.
