Quiz Chapter 9: Momentum

Definition of impulse:

• The time integral of net force that causes Change in momentum

• The product of mass and velocity

• The ability to do work

• the rate of increase of speed or the rate of change of velocity

Two football players with mass 75 kg and 100 kg run directly toward each other with speeds of 6 m/s and 8 m/s respectively. If they grab each other as they collide, the combined speed of the two players just after the collision would be:

• 2 m/s 
• 3.4 m/s 
• 4.6 m/s 
• 7.1 m/s

Which of the following correctly explains why less force is required to stop a person using an airbag?

• hitting the airbag decreases the person's momentum
