cannon has far more mass than the cannonball

After a firecracker falling through the air explodes, the net momentum of its fragments decreases.

if the mass of the cannonball equals the mass of the cannon

A cannonball shot from a long-barrel cannon travels faster than one shot from a short-barrel cannon because the cannonball receives a greater

impulse

impulse

If all people, animals, trains and trucks all over the world began to walk or run towards the east, then

Earth would spin a bit slower

A piece of putty moving with 1 units of momentum strikes and sticks to a heavy bowling ball that is initially at rest. After the putty sticks to the ball, both are set in motion with a combined momentum that is

The rubber ball will produce a greater impulse because it will bounce

When you jump off a step, you usually bend your knees as you reach the ground. By doing this, the time of the impact is about 10 times more what it would be in a stiff-legged landing, and the average force on your body is reduced by

about 100 times

all of the above (velocity changes, it is accelerating, force acting on it)

Skelly the skater traveling at high speed needs a certain amount of force to stop him. More stopping force will be needed if he has

all of these (more mass/momentum, less stopping distance)

If the net force acting on a system is zero, then the total momentum of the system is zero
