Suppose your throw a stone vertically upwards. You may sustain hand injury if you try to catch it abruptly when it falls back. However, if you try to catch it gently by making your hand relaxed and flexible, you may not feel pain. Explain why.

4 lines
2.

Suppose you encounter two car accidents. The first car crashed directly into a tree resulting in severe damage. The second car went through bushes and didn’t sustain severe damage except superficial damage to the exterior of the car. In relation to impulse and linear momentum, discuss why the first car sustained severe damage while the second car did not.
