Question
II. Linear Momentum
Answer the questions in more than 10 sentences.
According to the equation Δp= FΔt, the longer the impact of an impulse, the smaller the force can be for the same momentum change, and hence the smaller the deformation of the object on which the force acts. On this basis, explain the value of air bags, which are intended to inflate during an automobile collision and reduce the possibility of fracture or death.

- 12. A hard spherical ball "B" is at rest, and a second ball "A" is moving at a speed of 4.00 m/s, they collide linearly and elastically. If ball A rebounds with half its initial speed, what is the ratio of their masses (ma:ma) and what is the final velocity of ball B?arrow_forward1. In a perfectly inelastic collision, two objects collide and stick together. Is momentum conserved in the collision? Is energy conserved? Why or why not? A simple example might help.arrow_forwardA fan blows a cart of mass m a distance d. The same fan blows a heavier cart of mass 2m through the same distance d. Which cart experiences the larger impulse? Options: A) The lighter cart experiences the larger impulse. B) Both carts experience the same impulse. C) The heavier cart experiences the larger impulse. D) The answer cannot be determined.arrow_forward

The mass of the board and rider is 63.0 kg. As she coasts along, she grabs a 8.55 kg backpack a friend is holding out.

D) Explain in words what would happen if the backpack where thrown at her?arrow_forwardAn oatmeal cookie is dropped on the floor. Is this an inelastic collision? Why or why not? It is because the cookie and floor can be considered one object. It is because the cookie and floor are stuck together. It is not because there is not momentum involved. It is not because the cookie and floor do not move away together as a unit.arrow_forward
- A 1 500 kg car travelling at 25 m/s collides with a 2 500 kg van stopped at a traffic light. As a result of the collision, the two vehicles become entangled. With what initial speed will the entangled mass move off, and is the collision elastic or in elastic?

Two carts collide and merge together. Calculate the final velocity of the merged carts, determine whether it was an elastic or inelastic collision, and whether energy was conserved or not. m₁ m₁ = 10.0 kg V₁ = 8.00 m/s Figure 1 m₂ m₂ = 30.0 kg V₂ = 0.00 m/s m3 = 40.0 kg V = ?arrow_forward1.) A car (mass=400 kg) is traveling down a country road (speed is 10 m/s) when it collides with a deer (mass=200 kg) which is running in the opposite direction (speed is 2 m/s). The collision results in the deer getting stuck on the windshield. Treat this collision using the 'conservation of momentum' principle: a) Draw a sketch - label each MASS and each VELOCITY (with arrows for direction). b) Calculate the final speed of the car (remember the deer is stuck on top of the car) after collision (Note: they stick together to form a single mass)arrow_forward
