26. Why is it safer to stop an out-of-control car by running into a pond versus hitting a concrete wall?

27. Why is it safer to stop an out-of-control car by running into a pond versus hitting a concrete wall? By running into the pond, the time it takes the car to slow down to a stop is lengthened. Therefore the stopping force is decreased.

28. Why is it that a bouncing collision is more damaging than a sticking collision (assuming the same time of impact in each case)?

29. Why is it that a bouncing collision is more damaging than a sticking collision (assuming the same time of impact in each case)? A bouncing collision is more damaging because the change in velocity, and therefore the change in momentum, is greater. This leads to a larger force.

31. A 0.25 kg ball is hit by a stick - the incoming velocity of the ball is +25 m/sec and the outgoing velocity is - 20 m/sec. If the time of contact is 0.078 sec, what was the force of impact? Impulse = Change in Momentum F t = m v ==> F = m v / t F = (0.25 kg)(45 m/sec)/(0.078 sec) F = 144.2 Newtons

33. When an asteroid collides with the Moon, the Moon drastically changes the momentum of the asteroid. By how much does the Moon change its momentum? Precisely the same amount

34. A firecracker is sitting on the ground when it is lit. After the explosion, what is the total momentum of the pieces flying away?

35. A firecracker is sitting on the ground when it is lit. After the explosion, what is the total momentum of the pieces flying away? Zero, because the momentum of the firecracker before the explosion was zero, and momentum must be conserved.
