1 A red car smashes into a stationary tree and comes to rest. There was momentum before the collision and there is no momentum after the collision (neither the red car nor the tree is moving). Does this violate the law of conservation of momentum? Explain. 2 A second car that is yellow with the same mass and velocity (as in the previous problem) hits the wall and bounces off. • Which car, the red or the yellow, has the greater change in momentum? i. The red car that stops. ii. The yellow car that bounces. iii. Unable to determine from the information given. Explain your reasoning: • Which car has the greater impulse upon it? Remember to explain your reasoning. iv. The red car that stops. v. The yellow car that bounces. vi. Unable to determine from the information given. Explain your reasoning: • Which car has the greater force upon it? Remember to explain your reasoning. vii. The red car that stops. viii. The yellow car that bounces. ix. Unable to determine from the information given. Explain your reasoning:
