Question

Linear Momentum

Indicate true or false in each of the following statements:

True or False An explosion inside a rocket can change its momentum.

True or False The direction of motion of the center of mass of an object will not change unless a net external force is applied.

True or False Linear momentum cannot be destroyed.

True or False The momentum of a ball colliding with a wall changes by three times the momentum the ball had in the direction of the wall.

True or False Newtons's first law can be expressed as: force is the rate of change of momentum.

momentum remains conserved , hence momentum does not change (false)

according to newton's first law , an object can not change its direction on its own (true)

Linear momentum cannot be destroyed (true)

The momentum of a ball colliding with a wall changes by three times the momentum the ball had in the direction of the wall.

false since change in momentum can maximum be twice

fasle since this is newton's second law
