60 5 0 0 Two objects are known to have the same momentum. Do these two objects necessarily have the same kinetic energy? • Yes • No
60 5 0 0 A net force of 200 N acts on a 100 kg boulder, and a force of the same magnitude acts on a 130 g pebble. How does the rate of change of the boulder’s momentum compare to the rate of change of the pebble’s momentum? • Greater than • Less than • Equal to
60 F F heavy 5 light 0 0 Two boxes, one heavier than the other, are initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. The same constant force F acts on each one for exactly 1 second. Which box has more momentum after the force acts? • The lighter one • The heavier one • Both the same
60 5 0 0 In the previous question, which box has the larger velocity after the force acts? • The lighter one • The heavier one • Both the same
Answers No. Try M = 2m, but V= v/2 3 - equal, F=change in momentum per unit time=rate of change of momentum 3 – both the same, see above 1 – the lighter one, p=mv, if same p then small m means big v
