If two objects are traveling at the same speed, but have different masses, which one will have more momentum?

• The object with greater mass

• The object with lesser mass

• Both have the same momentum

• Momentum does not depend on mass

A cannon fires a cannonball. The forward speed of the cannonball is greater than the speed of recoil (backwards) of the cannon because:

• the cannonball has less mass than the cannon

• the cannonball has more mass than the cannon

• the forces on both are different

• the cannonball is fired at an angle

If you jump off of the bleachers, why is it a good idea to bend your knees as you land? If landing with your knees locked shortens the impact time to 1/5 of the time compared to having your knee bent, how would landing with your knees locked affect the force on your body?

• It increases the force on your body.

• It decreases the force on your body.

• It has no effect on the force on your body.

• It makes you bounce higher.

• Less

• Equal

• Cannot be determined

Bike helmets have a lining made of foam material because:

• The foam reduces the force by increasing the time over which the momentum changes during an impact.

• The foam makes the helmet heavier for better protection.

• The foam is only for comfort and has no effect on force or momentum.

• The foam increases the force during an impact.
