4. You are sitting (at rest) in a rolling chair holding a bowling ball. a. What is the total momentum of the system?
b. If you throw the bowling ball, what will happen to you?
c. How will your backwards momentum compare to the momentum of the ball?

5. Is there any situation in which a bowling ball has a greater momentum than a large truck?

Show all work plz!

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
