d)

None of these options

2.

The Law of Conservation of Momentum can be defined as...

a)

A quantity that has neither direction or magnitude

b)

Encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same

c)

The quantity that characterizes motion of which never changes in an isolated collection of objects

d)

None of these options

3.

Kinetic energy can be defined as...

a)

Stored energy

b)

Energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity

c)

Direction of force over time in relation to momentum

None of these options

4.

Impulse can be defined as...

a)

Integral of a force, F, over the time interval, t, for which it acts, vector quantity

b)
