Answer:

Answer C : person on an elevator going down

Explanation:

We look for a change in state of motion in order to have a net force different from zero in the system. The state of motion doesn't change in any of the examples a, b, or d. But there is a change in the state of motion in case c where initially the person and elevator where in static equilibrium, and later the elevator started going down and accelerating from zero speed to another non zero speed.

Answer:

The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv

Explanation:

Change of Momentum

Assume an object has a momentum p1 and after some interaction it now has a momentum p2, the change of momentum is

$\Delta p=p_2-p_1$

The momentum is computed as

$p=mv$

Where m is the mass of the object and v its speed. Now let's analyze the situation of both the ball and the clay.

The clay has an initial speed v and a mass m, thus its initial momentum is

$p_1=mv$

When it hits the wall, it sticks, thus its final speed is 0 and

$p_2=0$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=0-mv=-mv$

The absolute change is mv

Now for the ball, the initial condition is the same as it was for the clay, but the ball hits back at the same speed, thus its final momentum is

$p_2=-mv$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=-mv-mv=-2mv$

The absolute change is 2mv

The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv
