Answer

Decreasing the time of impact

Answer

Increasing the speed of the collision

Answer

Using materials that reflect energy

Question 13

What happens to the momentum of an object when it collides with another object?

Accepted Answer

The momentum of an object may change during a collision, but the total momentum of the system is conserved.

Answer

The momentum of an object is transferred to the other object completely during a collision.

Answer

The momentum of an object remains constant during a collision.

Answer

The momentum of an object always decreases after a collision.

Question 14

Discuss a scenario where understanding momentum conservation can prevent accidents.

Accepted Answer

By predicting the outcome of collisions and ensuring total momentum before and after a collision is equal.

Answer

Neglecting the impact of external forces on momentum

Answer

Assuming momentum is conserved only in certain situations

Answer

Ignoring momentum conservation and relying solely on intuition

Question 15

Calculate the momentum of a truck weighing 5000 kg moving at a speed of 20 m/s.

Accepted Answer

100000 kg*m/s

Answer

2000 kg*m/s

Answer

25000 kg*m/s

Answer

40000 kg*m/s

Question 16

If the momentum of a motorcycle after a collision is 100 kg m/s, what was its momentum before the collision if it was moving at 10 m/s?

Accepted Answer

The momentum before the collision was 1000 kg m/s.

Answer

The momentum before the collision was 50 kg m/s.

Answer

The momentum before the collision was 500 kg m/s.

Answer

The momentum before the collision was 200 kg m/s.

Question 17

How does momentum impact the design of sports equipment like helmets and pads?

Accepted Answer

Momentum impacts the design by requiring the equipment to absorb and dissipate energy to reduce force on the athlete.

Answer

Momentum has no impact on sports equipment design

Answer

Momentum causes sports equipment to increase force on the athlete

Answer

Momentum leads to sports equipment being lighter and less protective

Question 18

Describe a situation where impulse is crucial in ensuring a safe collision.
