Two identical 1000-kg cars skid off the highway; car A hits a side rail and slows from 30 m/s to a complete stop in 0.1 seconds, while car B hits a protective shock absorber and slows from 30 m/s to a complete stop in 0.6 seconds. The following questions refer to the time during which the cars slow down from 30 m/s to 0 m/s. During this time: A. which car has the largest change in momentum: A, B, or both the same? Answer: Same B. which car has the largest impulse acting on it: A, B, or both the same? Answer: Same A C, what car has the largest average net force acting on it: A, B, or both the same?
