PROBLEM-3 You have set Cruise Control set to 10 m/s (traveling at constant velocity). Assume that the road you are driving on has negligible friction and that you can ignore the effect of the rain droplets hitting the front of the vehicle. What will happen to the kinetic energy and momentum of the truck as a result of the accumulating rain in the bed of the truck? A. The momentum of the truck increases, and Ek does not change. B. The momentum of the truck does not change, Ek decreases. C. The momentum of the truck increases, Ek increases. D. The momentum of the truck decreases, Ek decreases. E. The momentum and Ek of the truck do not change. Suppose you are driving your pick up truck to the store when rain begins to fall vertically from the sky into the bed of your truck. V=10m/s PROBLEM-3 You have set Cruise Control set to 10 m/s (traveling at constant velocity).
