Q
What does it mean by in collisions or explosions momentum is conserved
A
It means the total momentum before and after the collision are equal
4
Q
What happens to momentum when force acts upon it
A
It changes
5
Q
Is it true that a larger force means a faster momentum
A
Yes
6
Q

A
The forces on the body will be very large and more likely to cause injury
