Answer:
Both the same.
Explanation:
According to Newton’s second law of motion,
Impulse = Change in momentum.
And change in momentum = (momentum before collision) – (momentum after collision)
And for this scenario, whether the car hits the haystack or the brick wall, it is said that the car comes to a stop. That Is, the momentum after collision (which is mass × velocity) is 0 because the final velocity in both cases is 0.
So, the impulse in both cases Is equal to the momentum of the truck before collision.
In both cases,
Impulse = (mass of truck × velocity of truck before collision)
Answer:
greater with the brick wall
Explanation:
the impulse does not depend whether its a haystack or a brick wall because impulse is the products mass and velocity.
