Question

As a bullet travels through the air, it slows down due to air resistance. How does the bullet’s momentum change as a result?

  1. Bullets momentum decreases    
  2. Bullets momentum increases    
  3. Bullet’s momentum stays the same    
  4. Cannot say    

hintHint:

Momentum =m a s s cross times v e l o c i t y

The correct answer is: Bullets momentum decreases


    Momentum =m a s s cross times v e l o c i t y
    The bullet's momentum decreases as its speed decreases.

    There are two cars, car A and car B. Mass of car A is 10000 kg, travelling at 30 fraction numerator m over denominator s end fraction collide with car B of mass 30000 kg travelling at 20 fraction numerator m over denominator s end fraction in same direction. After collision, the velocity of car A becomes 40 fraction numerator m over denominator s end fraction. Calculate the velocity of car B after the collision?
