Softer landings tend to

• increase impact force
• increase force
• increase collision time
• increase change in momentum

The difference between a car hitting a wall vs. a car hitting a hay stack is

• the Impulse on the car hitting the wall is greater
• the change in momentum of the car hitting the wall is greater
• the force on the car hitting the hay stack is greater
• the collision time of the car hitting the hay stack is greater

The impulse-momentum theorem states that

• the impulse on an object is equal to the change in momentum it causes 
• the force on a moving object is equal to the magnitude of the impulse.
• the impulse on an object is greater than the change in momentum it causes 
• the impulse on an object is less than the change in momentum it causes

While playing pool, the white cue ball strikes the 8 ball. Before the collision, the cue ball's velocity was 10 m/s and the 8 ball was at rest. If both ball's have a mass of 0.15 kg and the cue ball's velocity after the collision is 2 m/s, what is the 8 ball's velocity?

• 2 m/s
• 8 m/s
• -2 m/s
• 1.5 m/s
