smartphones break due to forces acting on the material.
force causes material to deform.
material is often brittle and cracks due to a limit on hardness / electricity in screens.
newton's 2nd law states
force = DV / DT
to help phones we must slow down change in momentum to reduce the force
thus we must use some form of damping in the form of a case .
the case is typically able to deform and rubber is elastic converting the kinetic energy to heat as it deforms instead of transferring it through the screen.
therefore the change in velocity occurs over a longer time. therefore the impulse decreases
Momentum of the object can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object and the velocity of the moving object. In this case, the starting situation should be the object should be moving, else there is no velocity and thus momentum is equal to zero .Answer is C
Mostly GPE and a little KE since the ball is high up (GPE) and it's also moving (KE) but not as much as it had when you first threw it
