Before moving through this worksheet, read what the bird has to say about impact forces, impulse and change in momentum.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

A moving car has momentum. If it moves twice as fast, its momentum is [blank] as much.
Fill in the blank

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

Two cars, one twice as heavy as the other, move down a hill at the same speed. Compared with the lighter car, the momentum of the heavier car is [blank] as much.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

The time of impact is the same for both the bug and the bus. Compared to the impulse on the bug, this means the impulse on the bus is
