Imagine a car crash. A car coming at a high speed has a head on collision with a car at rest. When the car makes impact, it will move the other car with it at a slower speed then it was travelling at. In this case, the velocity decreased since the car slowed down, but the mass increased since there are now two cars moving. Momentum was conserved because the change in mass accounts for the loss of velocity.
Answer: ⇒ Answer is 3
<h2>Explanation
: momentum = mass × velocity</h2>
"A small force may produce a large change in momentum by acting on a very massive object".
THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN US THE TIME PERIOD NOR THE DISTANCE TRAVELED. THEREFORE WE CANNOT ACTUALLY DECIDE IF THE FORCE IS KEPT FOR A LONG TIME OR SHORT TIME. ANYWAYS SINCE THE MASS IS GIVEN AS MASSIVE , THE MOMENTUM SHOULD BE DEFINITELY HIGH.
WHY I SAY OTHERS ARE WRONG:
1) For a small force to give a large change in momentum, it should act for a long time interval.
2) By applying a large force for a short time interval, the change of momentum should be large.
3) Correct answer.
4) Acting over a short distance can be the same as acting over a short period of time.Therefore the distance should be large in order for a larger momentum.

Answer:
Scientists have identified about a dozen major and several minor tectonic plates
Answer:
Same, the electric fields point in opposite directions and therefore cancel at some midpoint.
Explanation:
The Electric field net at some point between them is zero, only if they point in opposite direction (they cancel to the each other). In order the electric fields have opposite direction, at some point between the bees , the bees must have the same sign of electric charge
Answer:
V = 6 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial speed of an object is 20 m/s
Final speed of an object is 10 m/s
Time, t = 5 s
We need to find the average speed of the object during these 5 seconds. Let it is equal to V. Here, time is same. The average speed is given by :
So, the average speed of the object is 6 m/s.
