question
(Reading 6.10) Which has a greater momentum: a heavy truck at rest or a moving skateboard?
answer
The moving skateboard
question
For the same force, why does a long cannon impart more speed to a cannonball than a short cannon?
answer
The force is applied for a longer time in the long cannon
question
How is the impulse -momentum relationship related to Newton's second law?
answer
F=ma=mฮ”v/ฮ”t, so Ft=ฮ”(mv)
question
When you are struck by a moving object, is it favorable that the object makes contact with you over a short time or over a long time?
answer
Long contact time decreases the magnitude of the average force and is favorable
question
Why is a force that is applied for a short time more effective in karate
answer
The average force is increased. (A force that is applied for a short time is able to deliver a high impact force for the same change in momentum).( if the time is small the force will be greater Ft=mv)
question
Why is it advantageous to roll with the punch in boxing
answer
Rolling with the punch increases contact time, which decreases the force.
question
When a cannonball is fired, the momentum of the system (cannon + cannonball) is conserved if
answer
the momentum of the cannon is equal to the magnitude of the momentum of the cannon ball and points in the opposite direction
question
When a big fish swims into an oncoming smaller fish and swallows it, the momentum of the two-fish system ______
answer
remains the same
question
In which is momentum conserved: an elastic collision or an inelastic collision
answer
Momentum is conserved in elastic and inelastic collisions
question
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
answer
Twice
question
The total momentum of a flock of identical birds could be zero only if the birds are
answer
flying in different directions
question
A car traveling along the highway brakes to a stop over a certain distance. More braking force is required if the car has
answer
more mass less stopping distance more momentum all of the above
question
Padded dashboards in cars are safer in an accident than non-padded ones because passengers hitting the dashboard encounter
answer
lengthened time of contact.
