While Mr. Rodd is being chased by dinosaurs, he starts running faster, so he experiences a change of velocity, which means he experiences a _____________ of momentum?
change
A 1-kg chunk of putty moving at 1 m/s collides with and sticks to a 5-kg bowling ball initially at rest. The bowling ball and putty then move with a total momentum of...

D) impossible to determine without additional information
When you jump you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground. By doing this, you make the time of the impact about 10 times as great as for a stiff-legged landing. In this way the average force your body experiences would be...
10 x less
Is this elastic or inelastic? Sam and Talia run towards each other, hit against each other, and BOUNCE off each other in opposite directions.
Elastic
A bullet is fired from a gun. The speed of the bullet will be about the same as the speed of the recoiling gun if the mass of the bullet...
if the mass of the bullet equals the mass of the gun.
What physics concept in one word is summed up by this graphic?
Impulse
What should the boxer do to feel LESS force?
Move back with the punch
To catch a ball, a baseball player extends the hand forward before impact with the ball and then lets it ride backward in the direction of the ball's motion. Doing this reduces the force of impact on the player's hand principally because..
time of impact is increased.
Will the ball feel like more force if she moves toward it or away from it while catching the ball?
toward it
What are the 2 situations for INelastic collisions?
start together or end together
Spencer says something weird and Mr. Rodd says "take your hand and smash your face back and forth into your hand". Is their an Impulse happening to the hand?
YES!
A rifle recoils while firing a bullet. The speed of the rifle's recoil is small because the
A) force against the rifle is smaller than against the bullet.
B) rifle has much more mass than the bullet.
B) rifle has much more mass than the bullet.
Two objects have the same size and shape, but one is much heavier than the other. When they are dropped simultaneously from a tower, they reach the ground at the same time, but the heavier one has a greater
momentum.
A 4 kg ball has a momentum of 12 kg m/s. What is the ball's speed?
3 m/s
A 5-kg fish swimming at a speed of 1 m/s swallows an absent-minded 1-kg fish at rest. The speed of the larger fish after this lunch is...
5/6 m/s

Both the same.
What is the unit for momentum?
kg*m/s
A ball is moving at 3 m/s and has a momentum of 48 kg m/s. What is the ball's mass?
16 kg

A) zero.
B) doubled.
C) quadrupled.
D) unchanged.
B) doubled.

A) car
B) wall
C) both the same
C) both the same
