The force vs. time graphs for two collisions are shown. Which collision has the largest impulse?

The impulses are the same.
The impulse for collision 2 since it lasts longer.
The impulse for collision 1 since it has the larger maximum force.
Cannot be determined since the initial an final speeds are unknown.
Cannot be determined since the masses are unknown.

Expert Solution

The impulse is the area under the graph.
so collision one is .5*4=2
collision two is 1*2=2

So the answer is A; they are the same.
