A net force of 200 N acts on a 100-kg boulder, and a force of the same magnitude acts
on a 0.100 kg pebble. The change of the boulder's momentum in one second is ______ the change of the
pebble's momentum in the same time period.
A. greater than
B. less than
C. equal to

A tennis player receives a shot with the 0.0600-kg ball traveling horizontally at 50.0 m/s and returns
the shot with the ball traveling horizontally at 40.0 m/s in the opposite direction. What is the impulse
delivered to the ball?
A. 0.60 kg·m/s
B. 1.67 kg·m/s
C. 5.40 kg·m/s
D. 18.5 kg·m/s
Answer
answer
D. All land with the same speed.
The total energy is the same for each ball, and each converts all of its
energy to kinetic upon landing, so all land with the same speed.
answer
B. 6.25 cm/s
C. equal to
Equal force over an equal time period means an equal impulse, and that
implies an equal change in momentum. The change in speed of the boulder, however, is much less
than that of the pebble.
answer
C. 5.40 kg·m/s
