A stunt person jumps from the roof of a tall building, but no injury occurs because the person lands on a large, air-filled bag. Which one of the following BEST describes why no injury occurs?
A. The bag provides the necessary force to stop the person.
B.The bag provides an impulse greater than the person's change in momentum by decreasing the time of impact.
C.The bag provides an impulse equal to the person's change in momentum by increasing the time of impact.
The bag provides an impulse greater than the person's change in momentum by decreasing the time of impact.

What is an object's change in momentum equal to?
the impulse acting on the object
In the absence of an external force, a moving object will
move at a constant velocity
What is the work done on a 45kg box that is being pushed with a 100N force for 5m?
500j
Displacement is a vector quantity because it includes information about:
Magnitude and direction
A plane traveling at a constant horizontal velocity drops a package. If the package experiences no air resistance, describe the path of the package in relation to the position of the plane.
The package will gradually fall behind the horizontal position of the plane as it falls through the air.
A large, moving truck crashes into a small parked car. How do the magnitudes of the impulses and the forces on each vehicle compare during the collision?
