A net force of 200 N acts on a 100-kg boulder, and a force of the same magnitude acts on a 130-g pebble. How does the rate of change of the boulder’s momentum compare to the rate of change of the pebble’s momentum?
A) greater thanB) less thanC) equal to
The rate of change of momentum is, in fact, the force. Remember that F = p/t. Since the force exerted on the boulder and the pebble is the same, then the rate of change of momentum is the same.

A) greater thanB) less thanC) equal to
The rate of change of velocity is the acceleration. Remember that a = v/t. The acceleration is related to the force by Newton’s 2nd Law (F = ma), so the acceleration of the boulder is less than that of the pebble (for the same applied force) because the boulder is much more massive.

A small beanbag and a bouncy rubber ball are dropped from the same height above the floor. They both have the same mass. Which one will impart the greater impulse to the floor when it hits?
A) the beanbagB) the rubber ballC) both the same
Both objects reach the same speed at the floor. However, while the beanbag comes to rest on the floor, the ball bounces back up with nearly the same speed as it hit. Thus, the change in change in momentum for the ball is greater, because of the reboundmomentum for the ball is greater, because of the rebound. The impulse delivered by the ball is twice that of the beanbag.
For the beanbag: p = pf – pi = 0 – (–mv ) = mv
For the rubber ball: p = pf – pi = mv – (–mv ) = 2mv

Use the work-energy theorem: W = W = KEKE. The ball with less massless mass has the greater greater speedspeed (why?)(why?), and thus the greater KEgreater KE (why(why again?)again?). In order to remove that KE, work must be done, where W = W = FdFd. Since the force is the samesame in both cases, the distance needed to stop the less massive less massive ballball must be biggerbigger.
