... The rate of change of velocity is the acceleration. Remember that a = Dv/Dt. The acceleration is related to the force by Newton’s 2nd Law (F = ma), so the acceleration of the boulder is less than that of the pebble (for the same applied force) because the boulder is much more massive. ...

... Q: Explain why the driver is less likely to suffer a head injury in a collision with the air bag than if his head collided with the car dashboard, or other hard surface. A: The change in momentum suffered by the driver’s head is a FIXED quantity no matter how his head is brought to rest. • Therefore ...
