Question

A large truck, travelling at 15 m/s, and a small Volkswagen, travelling in the opposite direction at 30 m/s, collide and stick together. Which vehicle experiences the greatest change in momentum? Volkswagen Both vehicles experience the same change in momentum Large truck Each vehicle experiences zero change in momentum Question 10 The change in momentum of an object is equal to the net impulse acting on it the net force acting on it the change in velocity the change in mass

Step 1

The momentum of an object is given by the formula: momentum = mass x velocity. For the truck: Momentum of truck = mass of truck x velocity of truck Momentum of truck = (mass of truck) x 15 m/s For the Volkswagen: Momentum of Volkswagen = mass of Volkswagen x Show more…
