If the cars collide INELASTICALLY, how would they move afterward (if at all)?

• They would BOUNCE OFF and move LEFT

• They would STICK TOGETHER and move LEFT

• They would BOUNCE OFF and move RIGHT

• They would STICK TOGETHER and move RIGHT

A boy kicks a football with a force of 20 N, the time the force acts for is 0.3 s. Calculate the impulse on the ball.

• 1 N⋅s

• 6 N⋅s

• 33.3 N⋅s

The SI unit for momentum is:

• N^.kg

• N^.m/s

• m/s^.N

• kg^.m/s
