Lesson 3: Momentum and impulse

Momentum and impulse

AP.PHYS: INT‑3.D (EU), INT‑3.D.1 (EK), INT‑3.D.1.1 (LO), INT‑3.D.2 (EK), INT‑3.D.2.1 (LO), INT‑3.D.2.2 (LO)

A truck is traveling along a straight road with an initial speed v, start subscript, start text, i, end text, end subscript. After a short time, the momentum of the truck has increased by a factor of 4.

What is the final kinetic energy, K, E, start subscript, start text, f, end text, end subscript, of the truck in terms of its initial kinetic energy, K, E, start subscript, start text, i, end text, end subscript?

(Choice A)
2, K, E, start subscript, start text, i, end text, end subscript
(Choice B)
4, K, E, start subscript, start text, i, end text, end subscript
(Choice C)
8, K, E, start subscript, start text, i, end text, end subscript
(Choice D)
16, K, E, start subscript, start text, i, end text, end subscript
