true
200
Which case has the greatest velocity change?
Case B
The velocity changes from +30 m/s to -28 m/s. This is a change of 58 m/s (-) and is greater than in case A (-15 m/s).

300
A large truck collides with a small bicycle.
Which vehicle experiences the greatest force of impact?
both have the same
300
Which case has the biggest momentum change?
case B,
momentum change depends on velocity change
300

kg x m/s
400
A car possesses 20 000 units of momentum. What would be the car's new momentum if its mass was doubled (by adding more passengers),
40,000 units of momentum
400
A large truck collides with a small bicycle.
Which vehicle experiences the largest impulse?
both have the same impulse
400
Which case has the greatest acceleration change?
case A
400
What waw one of the things that prompted Einstein to question Newton's laws of gravity (we went over 2)
1. Photons being affected by gravity
2. Mercury's orbit
500
Momentum is a ______________ quantity with both magnitude and direction.
vector
500
A 60 kg quarterback is running at 3 m/s down the field.
A 90 kg halfback is running at 2 m/s down the field.
Which player has the most momentum?
neither, both players have the same momentum.
500
A large truck collides with a small bicycle.
Which vehicle experiences the largest acceleration?
The bicycle
F1=F2
F=ma
Bicycle's mass is smaller so acceleration must be greater
500
Which case has the greatest impulse?
Case A
impulse = momentum change, which depends on velocity change and velocity change is greatest in case A

Who was the first person to propose the heliocentric model of the universe?
Copernicus
