Which scenario would most likely occur when a cue ball strikes a pool ball that is at rest?

The pool ball will accelerate in the same direction as the cue ball was initially moving.

The cue ball will stop making and also be at rest.

The cue ball will bounce back from the pool ball around the same velocity.

The pool ball will accelerate to a velocity greater then the cue ball moving.

What must occur for momentum to be transferred?

Interaction between multiple masses.

Interaction between a moving mass and a stationary mass.

Multiple masses must combine to form one mass.

Multiple masses must be moving in opposite directions.

If a collision is elastic which of the following must be true?

Kinetic Energy is not conserved.

The total momentum is equal to 0

If there is a perfectly inelastic collision, which of the following must be true?

The objects stick together after colliding

The total momentum of the system is not conserved

Pick all of the scenarios that are explosions.

A swimmer jumps off a floating raft.

A figure skater throws a heavy ball.

A spoon is shoved into a jar of peanut butter.

A comparison between two objects

Which of the following WOULD NOT BE an example of an ELASTIC COLLISION?

a ping pong ball hit with a paddle

a diver bouncing off of a diving board

How much momentum is lost in an inelastic collision?

Momentum is conserved in all collisions

On fourth of the momentum is always lost

How much momentum is lost in elastic collisions?

All of the momentum is lost but the energy is conserved.

Half of the momentum and half of the energy is lost

One fourth of the momentum is lost.

When an bowling ball hits some pins, the bowling ball speed reduces. What happens to the momentum lost by the bowling ball?

The pins gain the momentum lost by the bowling ball as they pick up speed after being hit by the bowling ball.

The pins create their own momentum

The bowling ball doesn't actually lose momentum

There is no loss of momentum by the pins

What happens to the momentum of an object that triples its speed?

It increases to three times as much

It stays the same because force is mass times acceleration

A truck is moving north on the parkway. If pollen from a tree floats southward on the parkway, is the momentum of the pollen positive or negative?

can be both depending on the weather

Both bowling balls have the same momentum.

The purple bowling ball has a greater momentum.

The red bowling ball has a greater momentum.

The momentums of the bowling balls cannot be determined.

Which of the following objects would have the most momentum?

A 5 kg ball rolling down the hallway at 5 m/s.

A 10 kg ball rolling down the hallway at 2 m/s.

A 100 kg ball at rest in the corner of the hallway.

A 10 kg ball rolling down the hallway at 1 m/s.

A cyclist pedals straight up a hill at 3 m/s and then coasts down the other side of the hill at 11 m/s. Throughout the bike ride, the momentum:

was higher coasting down the hill.

was higher pedaling up the hill

Due to the difficulty of stopping an oil tanker, the engines are cut off around 25 km from port. Why are these oil tankers difficult to stop?

The oil tanker has a huge mass which results in an enormous momentum. The vessel needs a long distance to decrease its velocity.

The oil tanker has a small mass which results in an enormous momentum. The vessel needs a long distance to decrease its velocity.

The oil tanker has a huge mass which results in a small momentum. The vessel needs a long distance to decrease its velocity.

The oil tanker has a huge mass which results in an enormous momentum. The vessel needs a long distance to increase its velocity.
