C. Both people will gain the same velocity as a result of recoil.

D. The velocity of both people will be zero as a result of recoil.

Two objects having equal masses and velocities collide with each other and come to a rest. What type of a collision is this and why?

B. Inelastic collision, because internal kinetic energy is not conserved

A. Elastic collision, because internal kinetic energy is conserved

C. Elastic collision, because internal kinetic energy is not conserved

D. Inelastic collision, because internal kinetic energy is conserved

When the momentum of an object increases with respect to time, what is true of the net force acting on it?

C. It is nonzero, because the net force is equal to the rate of change of the momentum.

A. It is zero, because the net force is equal to the rate of change of the momentum.

B. It is zero, because the net force is equal to the product of the momentum and the time interval.

D. It is nonzero, because the net force is equal to the product of the momentum and the time interval.

Why do we use average force while solving momentum problems? How is net force related to the momentum of the object?

D. Forces are usually not constant over a period of time, and net force acting on the object is equal to the rate of change of the momentum.

A. Forces are usually constant over a period of time, and net force acting on the object is equal to the rate of change of the momentum.

B. Forces are usually not constant over a period of time, and net force acting on the object is equal to the product of the momentum and the time interval.

C. Forces are usually constant over a period of time, and net force acting on the object is equal to the product of the momentum and the time interval.

What is the difference between momentum and impulse?

C. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Impulse is the change in momentum.

A. Momentum is the sum of mass and velocity. Impulse is the change in momentum.

B. Momentum is the sum of mass and velocity. Impulse is the rate of change in momentum.

D. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Impulse is the rate of change in momentum.

Can a lighter object have more momentum than a heavier one? How?

C. Yes, if the lighter object’s velocity is considerably high.

A. No, because momentum is independent of the velocity of the object.

B. No, because momentum is independent of the mass of the object.

D. Yes, if the lighter object’s velocity is considerably low.

A driver sees another car approaching him from behind. He fears it is going to collide with his car. Should he speed up or slow down in order to reduce damage?

C. He should speed up and then slow down just before the collision.

D. He should slow down and then speed up just before the collision.
