True or False; When two objects collide and completely bounce apart with no lasting deformation or generation of heat, the collision is said to be elastic.

zero

True or False; Impulse is defined as the force exerted on an object times the time it lasts.

true

To catch a fast-moving ball, you extend your hand forward before contact with the ball and let it ride backward in the direction of the ball's motion. Doing this reduces the force of contact on your hand principally because the

time of contact is increased

decreases

in a extended time

Which produces more force: driving into a very massive concrete wall with no "give," or having a head-on collision with an identical car moving toward you at the same speed?

bounces upon impact

The total momentum of a flock of identical birds could be zero only if the birds are

flying in different directions

True or False; If the net external force acting on a system is zero, then the total momentum of the system is zero.

false

When a boxer moves into an oncoming punch, the force experienced is

increased

When you jump from an elevated position you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground, which makes the time of the contact about 10 times that of a stiff-legged landing. In this way the average force your body experiences is

about 1/10 as great

decreased

the target would be safer than the shooter

It is correct to say that impulse is equal to

a corresponding change in momentum

Which of the following has the largest momentum relative to Earth's surface?

a pickup truck speeding along a highway

true or false; If the net external force acting on a system is zero, then the total momentum of the system is zero.

false

When a boxer is moving away from a punch, the force experienced is reduced because

the time of contact is increased

A same-size iron ball and wooden ball are dropped simultaneously from a tower and reach the ground at the same time. The iron ball has a greater

momentum

true or false; Momentum is defined as an object's mass times its velocity.

true

true or false; When two objects collide and completely bounce apart with no lasting deformation or generation of heat, the collision is said to be elastic.

true

when a boxer is moving away from a punch, the force experienced is reduced because

the time of contact is increased

You're driving down the highway and a bug spatters into your windshield. Which undergoes the greater change in momentum during the time of contact?

both the same

A freight train rolls along a track with considerable momentum. If it rolls at the same speed but has twice as much mass, its momentum is

twice

Whether a truck comes to a stop by crashing into a haystack or a brick wall, the stopping force is

greater with the brick wall

A large heavy truck and a small baby carriage roll down a hill. Neglecting friction, at the bottom of the hill, the baby carriage will likely have

less momentum

The average braking force of a 1000-kg car moving at 10 m/s braking to a stop in 5 s is

2000N

True or False; Impulses are normally smaller when bouncing takes place.

false

The force that accelerates a rocket in outer space is exerted on the rocket by the

exhaust gases

If several balls are thrown straight up with different initial speeds, the quantity that will have the same value along their paths is their

acceleration

The force on a dropped apple hitting the ground depends upon

all of the above

Freddy Frog drops vertically from a tree onto a horizontally-moving skateboard. The reason he doesn't slip off the skateboard is due to

friction between his feet and the board

The impulse-momentum relationship is a direct result of

Newton's 2nd law

True or False; Momentum is defined as an object's mass times its velocity.

true

Whether a truck comes to a stop by crashing into a haystack or a brick wall, the stopping force is

greater with the brick wall

PHYSICS

A 10.0-kg monkey climbs a uniform ladder with weight $1.20 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{N}$ and length L = 3.00 m. The ladder rests against the wall and makes an angle of $\theta=60.0^{\circ}$ with the ground. The upper and lower ends of the ladder rest on frictionless surfaces. The lower end is connected to the wall by a horizontal rope that is frayed and can support a maximum tension of only 80.0 N (a) Draw a force diagram for the ladder. (b) Find the normal force exerted on the bottom of the ladder. (c) Find the tension in the rope when the monkey is two-thirds of the way up the ladder. (d) Find the maximum distance d that the monkey can climb up the ladder before the rope breaks. (e) If the horizontal surface were rough and the rope were removed, how would your analysis of the problem change? What other information would you need to answer parts (c) and (d)?

PHYSICS

A point charge $q _ { 1 } = 4.00 \textrm{ nC}$ is placed at the origin, and a second point charge $q _ { 2 } = - 3.00 \textrm{ nC}$ is placed on the x-axis at $x = +20.0 \textrm{ cm}$. A third point charge $q _ { 3 } = 2.00 \textrm{ nC}$ is to be placed on the x-axis between $q _ { 1 }$ and $q _ { 2 }$. (Take as zero the potential energy of the three charges when they are infinitely far apart.) (a) What is the potential energy of the system of the three charges if $q _ { 3 }$ is placed at $x = +10.0 \textrm{ cm}$? (b) Where should $q _ { 3 }$ be placed to make the potential energy of the system equal to zero?

Is the impulse the same for hitting a wall or a haystack and coming to a stop?

Impulse Changes Momentum – When a car is out of control, it is better to hit a haystack than a concrete wall. Physics reason: Same impulse either way, but extension of hitting time reduces the force.

When two vehicles collide momentum is conserved?

The law of momentum conservation can be stated as follows. For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

Is it correct to say that impulse is equal to?

The impulse-momentum relationship states that the impulse delivered by the net force acting on an object is equal to the change in the momentum of that object.

What is the relationship between an impulse on an object and the change in momentum of that object?

The impulse experienced by the object equals the change in momentum of the object. In equation form, F • t = m • Δ v. In a collision, objects experience an impulse; the impulse causes and is equal to the change in momentum.
