Whether a truck comes to a stop by crashing into a haystack or a brick wall, the impulse is:

Group of answer choices:

O both the same.

O greater with the haystack.

O greater with the brick wall.

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)

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.
