Momentum is a protector the mass and the velocity of a moving object.
Momentum= mass*speed
For Car A: Mass:1,000 kilograms Velocity: 40 meters/second;
Momentum=1,000 kg*40 m/s
=40000kg.m/s
For Car B: Mass: 4,000 kilograms Velocity 10 meters/second;
Momentum=4000kg*10m/s
=40000kg.m/s
Both cars require the same amount of force to stop. This is because they have the same momentum.
Using Newton's second law;
F = ma, where m = mass, a = acceleration or deceleration
a = Δv/t = (v-u)/t, but v= 0, u = 10 m/s, t = 1.
Then,
a = (0-10)1 = -10 m/s^2
Substituting;
F = ma = 10*-10 = -100 N
The mattress exerts 100 N to stop the ball.
The answer for this question is acceleration
