Question
What is your justification for choosing the item you did as having the greater momentum?(1 point)
Responses
Momentum is mass times velocity so the momentum would stay inside the hockey puck after it is caught.
Momentum is mass times velocity so the momentum would stay inside the hockey puck after it is caught.
Momentum is mass times velocity so the greater mass would contain more of the momentum.
Momentum is mass times velocity so the greater mass would contain more of the momentum.
Momentum is absorbed by the net as the puck gets close to it.
Momentum is absorbed by the net as the puck gets close to it.
Momentum is absorbed by the ice and is not transferred after it is completely absorbed.

The correct justification for determining which item has the greater momentum would be:
**"Momentum is mass times velocity so the greater mass would contain more of the momentum."**
This response accurately reflects the definition of momentum (\( p = mv \)), indicating that for two objects moving at the same velocity, the one with the greater mass will indeed have greater momentum. Other options either misunderstand how momentum works or inaccurately describe the interaction of momentum with objects like nets or ice.
