Q

Momentum involves mass and velocity, can momentum be negative? Explain?

A

Velocity can be negative if it goes in the opposite direction
Therefore momentum can be as well

Q

What happens in an explosion?

A

Two objects move apart with equal and opposite momentum
As
One momentum is positive and the other is negative
Making the total monument zero

The bullet fires off with momentum in one direction
The gun recoils with equal momentum in the opposite direction

Q

What happens to momentum in a collision?

A

Often becomes zero during impact

17
Q

If the impact time is short what happens to the force?

A

It is large

18
Q

If the impact time is longer what happens to the force?

A

It decreases

19
Q

What does a crumple zone do in a car?

A

It folds in a collision

Increasing the impact time so it reduces the force on the car and the people in it

20
Q

What other safety features do cars have?

A

Airbags: spread the force across a wider surface area

Seat belt: increases impact time which reduces the force
