There are three very similar versions of this question. Each version provides a before-after diagram showing the initial and final momentum of an object. Five impulse values are presented. One of them would cause the specified momentum change. This is one of the three versions:
Version 1
Pre- and post-collision information is shown. Identify the collision parameters that are consistent with the indicated change in momentum. (A + sign indicates a rightward direction; a - sign indicates a leftward direction.)
a. Impulse = +2 N•s
b. Impulse = -8 N•s
c. Impulse = +6 N•s
d. Impulse = -16 N•s
e. Impulse = -4 N•s
