Students are completing a lab in which they let a lab cart roll down a ramp. The students record the mass of the cart, the height of the ramp, and the velocity at the bottom of the ramp. The students then calculate the momentum of the cart at the bottom of the ramp.Which trial’s cart has the greatest momentum at the bottom of the ramp?

Question illustration
A
trial 1, because this trial has the greatest velocity
B
trial 2, because this trial has the greatest ramp height
C
trial 3, because this trial has a large mass and a large velocity
D
trial 4, because this trial has the greatest mass

Students perform an experiment in which they drop two eggs with equal mass from a balcony. In the first trial, the egg hits the ground and breaks. In the second trial, the egg hits a foam cushion and does not break or bounce.

A
The impulse was greater in the first experiment because the egg broke.
B
The impulse was greater in the second experiment because the egg did not break.
C
The impulse was the same in both experiments because the egg came to a stop.
D
The impulse cannot be determined without the mass and velocity of the eggs.
