If you decrease the velocity does the momentum increase or decrease?
decrease of momentum

There are 3 equations that we've used dealing with impulse. For every correct one you list you get 100 points, for every incorrect one you list lose 100 from this question only.
impulse=(delta)p, impulse=Ft, Ft=(delta)mv

Two bumper cars head towards each other and experience an elastic collision. Car 1 has a mass of 500 kg and Car 2 has a mass of 650 kg. Car 1 has an initial velocity 5 m/s and Car 2 had an initial velocity of -3 m/s. Car 2 had a final velocity of 2 m/s. What is the final velocity of Car 1?
-1.5 m/s

If we are given a weight, what do we need to do BEFORE solving for momentum?
mass

Which has greater momentum: a train at rest or a moving skateboard? Explain
The moving skateboard since the train has no velocity and p=mv it would have no momentum.

Determine the momentum of a ... 1000-kg car moving northward at 20 m/s. Show work.
What is : p = m*v = 1000 kg*20 m/s p = 20 000 kg•m/s, north

Assuming that the collision between Train 112 and Train 214 is a perfect elastic collision, (no damage done to either train) Train 112 has an initial velocity of 19.7 m/s & a mass of 144,000 kg Train 214 has a mass of 108,000 kg and is at rest. Calculate the final velocity of Train 214 after the collision if Train 112 has a final velocity of 5 m/s.
19.5 m/s

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the fastest recorded baseball pitch was delivered by Nolan Ryan in 1974. The pitch was clocked at 100.9 mi/hr (45.0 m/s). Determine the momentum of a 0.145-kg baseball.
hat is: p = m*v = 0.145 kg*45.0 m/s p = 6.52 kg•m/s)

What is the change in momentum of of 1kg object with an initial velocity of 2 m/s and a final velocity of 7m/s?
5kgm/s

Explain the differences between an elastic collision, an inelastic collision, and an explosion.
ellastic collision-two things bounce off inellastic-two or more things stick together explosion- one item breaks into multiple items;

A .095kg snowball hits a 9.2 kg dog. After the dog and the snow move with a velocity of 1.6 m/s. What is the snowball's velocity?
156.5 m/s

Why doesn't an egg break when thrown on a sheet?
The sheet gives so the egg has more time to slow down reducing the force it feels.
500
If you increase the momentum does the mass or velocity increase?
either

A whale with a mass of 1530 kg is moving at 5m/s to the right when it eats Dory and Marlin (combined mass of 2kg) who were moving 19 m/s to the left. What is their combined velocity after he eats them? (answer must be to the nearest thousandth)

5.018 m/s
