Which of the following best describes why an egg landing on a pillow is less likely to break than a pillow landing on a tile floor? Your answer: The pillow increases the time over which the egg stops, and that decreases the maximum force on the egg. The pillow decreases the time over which the egg stops, and that decreases the maximum force on the egg. The pillow increases the impulse during the collision, and that makes the egg safer. The pillow decreases the impulse during the collision, and that makes the egg safer.

An 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.
Can any real collision ever be truly perfectly elastic? Why or why not? (You should think about this in two ways: first consider what effects of the environment surrounding the collision might have on energy and momentum conservation; second, consider the objects themselves – how must an object react to a collision in order to be considered "perfect"?).

A moderate force will break an egg. However, an egg dropped on the road usually breaks, while one dropped on the grass usually doesn't break. This is because for the egg dropped on the grass: O the change in momentum is greater. the change in momentum is less. the time interval for stopping is greater. the time interval for stopping is less.
During a head on collision the car's airbags are intended to: O Decrease the speed of the vehicle prior to the accident. Decrease the impulse of the accident on the passengers, by decreasing the force the impact. Match the impact force of the passenger to what the vehicle is colliding with. O Decrease the force of impact on the passengers by keeping the impulse constant.
A 1500 kg car traveling to the north is slowed down uniformly from initial velocity of 20 m/s by a 6000 N braking force acting opposite the car’s motion. Use the impulse-momentum theorem to answer the following questions What is the car’s velocity after 2.00 s? How far does the car move during 2.00 s? How long does it take the car to come to a complete stop?
