A team of engineers is testing the safety performance of new bumpers. They carry out trial collisions using different bumper designs. They measure the amount of time it takes the car's velocity to reduce to zero after each collision. Why are these measurements important in testing the safety of the bumper? As the time increases, the force of the collision increases. As the time increases, the car's momentum increases. As the time increases, the force of the collision remains constant. As the time increases, the force of the collision decreases.

You are standing at a stop light waiting to cross the street when you witness a collision. A 2,300 kg Ford F150 truck collides head on with a 1,300 kg Toyota Corolla. The Ford F150 is moving to the right immediately before the collision and the Corolla is initially moving to the left. The two vehicles have the same initial speed and vehicles stick together after the collision. A. What type of collision is this? B. Which vehicle will experience the greater change in momentum? C. Which vehicle will experience the greater acceleration?
A freight train is being assembled in a trainyard. So far there is one boxcar with a mass of 55,000 kg at rest on the track. Another boxcar, with a mass of 80,000 kg, moves along the track and impacts the first car. The couplings on the cars interlock and they move together at a velocity of 1.4 m/s. What was the velocity of the second car before it impacted the first car?
