Two billiard balls having the same mass roll toward each other, each moving at the same speed. What is the combined momentum of the two balls?

0 kg/m/s

A feather and a coin dropped in a vacuum fall with equal

Accelerations

Compared to a recoiling rifle, the bullet fired has a greater

Kinetic energy

An object that has potential energy may have this energy because of its

Location

A moving object on which no forces are acting will continue to move with constant

Momentum

If you push for an hour against a stationary wall, you do no work

On the wall

A cannon recoils from firing a cannonball. The speed of the cannon's recoil is small because the

Cannon has more mass than the ball

Bullets are fired from an airplane in the forward direction of motion. The momentum of the airplane will be

Decreased

An open freight car rolls friction-free along a horizontal track in a pouring rain that falls vertically. As water accumulates in the car, its speed

Decreases

Compared with the force that brings a small car to a stop, the force required to bring a heavy truck traveling at the same speed to a stop

Depends on the time involved

In bungee jumping, the change in a jumper's kinetic energy equals the average force of the bungee cord multiplied by the stretching

Distance

Whereas impulse involves the time that a force acts, work involves the

Distance that a force acts

A freight train rolls along a track with considerable momentum. If it rolls at the same speed but has twice as much mass, its momentum is

Doubled

An object at rest may have

Energy

The force that accelerates a rocket in outer space is exerted on the rocket by the

Exhaust gases

A car that travels twice as fast as another when braking to a stop will skid

Four times as far

Two identical arrows, one with twice the speed of the other, are fired into a hay bale. The faster arrow will penetrate

Four times as far as the slower arrow

A heavy truck and a small car rolling down a hill at the same speed are forced to stop in the same amount of time. Compared to the force that stops the car, the force needed to stop the truck is

Greater

Momentum is transferred to the ground when an apple falls on it. The momentum absorbed by the ground is

Greater than that of the apple only if the apple bounces

When a car is braked to a stop, its kinetic energy is transformed to

Heat

A bullet is fired from a gun. The speed of the bullet will be about the same as the speed of the recoiling gun

If the mass of the bullet equals the mass of the gun

A cannonball shot from a cannon with a long barrel will have a greater muzzle velocity because the cannonball receives a greater

Impulse

Padded dashboards in cars are safer in an accident than nonpadded ones because an occupant hitting the dash has

Increased time of impact and decreased impact force

If an object has kinetic energy, then it also must have

Momentum

What does an object have when moving that it doesn't have when at rest?

Momentum

A golf ball is thrown at and bounces backward from a massive bowling ball that is initially at rest. After the collision, compared to the golf ball, the bowling ball has more

Momentum, but less kinetic energy

An object that has kinetic energy must be

Moving

The impulse-momentum relationship is a direct result of

Newton's second law

The conservation of momentum is most closely related to

Newton's third law

A heavy and a light object released from the same height in a vacuum have equal - All of these - Energies - None of these - Momenta - Weights

None of these

Which requires the most amount of work on the brakes of a car?

Slowing down from 100 km/h to 70 km/h

Suppose a gun were made of a strong but very light material. Suppose also that the pellet is more massive than the gun itself. For such a weapon

The target would be safer than the shooter

The difference between impulse and impact force involves the

Time the force acts

Two identical arrows, one with twice the kinetic energy of the other, are fired into a hay bale. The faster arrow will penetrate

Twice as far as the slower arrow

An object is raised above the ground gaining a certain amount of potential energy. If the same object is raised twice as high, it gains

Twice as much potential energy

If you push an object twice as far while applying the same force, you do

Twice as much work

If you do work on an object in half the time, your power output is

Twice the usual power output
